We should, because if you’re willing to lie a little, you’re likely willing to lie a lot. Stepping out on your spouse, rather than treating something we should all consider sacred with the maturity and respect it deserves, is detestable and unstatesmanlike. Sure, some marriages…

Incredible finding from @jmhorp @CatoInstitute: For the 10 metro areas most affected by the "China shock," ALL of them have higher real wages today, at every income level, than they did in 2001, and 6/10 have grown faster than the national average. New from me @NRO…

I don’t understand this mindset. If we had an ongoing war with Mexico because they tried to take back Texas would we just say well we would rather have peace than fight for our people and our land? Is that how that would go because that’s what Zelensky to do for peace

I understand and can sympathize with some of the criticisms of left entryism and electoralism*, but it turns out in response to heightening contradictions, the proletariat are less likely to rise up and revolt than to start doing numerology to prove chuck e cheese is a pedophile

This, on the US giving up power and influence to China, is very good From @ishaantharoor wapo.st/4m1fxNw

This is specifically Noems fault. She refused to mobilize them to Texas for 3 days. Almost all of the experience has been forced out of FEMA by Noem. The agency is in absolute chaos. States are in for a rude awakening. I pray we have an easy Hurricane Season

New paper & surprising result. LLMs transmit traits to other models via hidden signals in data. Datasets consisting only of 3-digit numbers can transmit a love for owls, or evil tendencies. 🧵

We were called back to the Capitol after 130+ Texans died in deadly floods. That alone is an extraordinary circumstance. We're here to work—for families who lost everything. That should be the only focus. #txlege

NEW on MSNBC: Sen. Susan Collins says she will vote AGAINST Emil Bove's nomination to a lifetime judicial appointment. "Mr. Bove's political profile and some of the actions he has taken in his leadership roles at the Department of Justice cause me to conclude he would not serve…

Shutting down the United States House of Representatives to avoid a vote on the Epstein matter should cause everyone to recalibrate their conspiracy meter from like a 6 out of 10 to 8.5 out of 10.

"What starts here changes the world"

Last Thursday’s 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' in which Colbert announced his own show’s cancellation, was the show’s highest-rated episode this calendar year. dlvr.it/TM3jpv

Sarah Longwell had a good take on this. Everyone who cared about Epstein knew about his friendship with Trump. Trump overcame that by vowing to release all the documents. It’s his decision to go back on that vow — not any new information — that has rocked MAGA.

It's disappointing major weather media groups that exist off NOAA/NWS data have been deafeningly silent about federal staffing hits and proposed cuts to NOAA. No letters of support. No news reporting on their detrimental effects to forecasting. Just glaring editorial omission. 🧵

One of my stock bad jokes is that *of course* Houston has 4 seasons: Summer, Football, Holiday, and Rodeo

Toyota is up +8% on the news of a 15% tariff. Why? It's simple. Ford, GM, Tesla, and all the other American manufacturers are going to be paying 50% more for their steel, 50% more for their copper, 25% more for their Canadian production, 25% more for their Mexican production,…

The Wheels on the Bus was written in 1937 but motorised buses date back to the 1890s. There was a forty year period where people were just getting on buses with no idea of what was going to happen.

Just stumbled across a top 7 Houston bars article my dad wrote in 2017 for... You guessed it, CNN. "We are now in the year 8 A.B., for it was in 2009 that mixologist Bobby Heugel opened Anvil Bar in the Montrose district and changed the way generations of Houstonians drank." 🧵

Pass the flood relief and prevention bills.
