The last meeting was "volatile" to say the least, with Harris County Judge stating on the record that she had been "groped" in that room, but there has been no further information released.

In #Texas there are “dozens and dozens of bills," says
@GeneforTexas, to ban books & Black history, to criminalize #transyouth and #reproductiverights, to make it harder for minorities to run businesses and easier to bring guns into schools.

Here's @GeneforTexas on which bills he's working to pass and which he's eyeing with extreme caution.

Kolkhorst is laying out SB 260, regarding voter registration rolls. Says there are some counties in Texas that have more registered voters than eligible citizens, mostly smaller counties.
From the bill analysis: "The language of S.B. 260 follows closely to that of Ohio which was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Husted vs Randolph Institute argued before the court in 2018."
Inbox: As debate over gun control legislation rages, on Sunday a Harris county magistrate released a felon previously convicted for murder on a PR bond for charges of felony in possession of a weapon (handgun). #Houston #Texas
According to news reports at the time, in 1992, his victim Cecilia Carmen Mondragon had been “stabbed several times, her throat cut ear-to-ear and her right index finger severed,” and was found on her front porch with her 1 year old child crying next to her.

Y'all ready 2 get this #PurpleParty started? @Prince entered @Sunset Sound early May '82 to record what would become his longest electro-jam #Automatic. At over 9 minutes sending the project dubbed 1999 he began in Jan into unintentional Double LP territory
He arrived with clearly something on his mind as everything in #Automatic feels like a confession An urgent unsettling genuine desperation unfolding with lyrical themes of emotion as technology. Lockstep speak-singing in the same pattern of his drum machine.
Both principal themes at the time, spiritual & profane come into play, the latter on full display when he makes cavalier declaration of a sexual favor, the listener & backing singer @JillJones simultaneously snap to as she excitedly responds “You will?!”

Let's Start a Thread of Train Derailments/Disasters involving Toxic Chemicals in the last 2 weeks. I'm sure it's all just a coincidence. 🤔 Starts with Ohio. #OhioChemicalDisaster #intentioanal
#3 (Coincidence) is Kissamee Florida. Not a train this time, just a huge Chemical Fire.
Ok #Houston we need to have a talk about gentrification v. revitalization. And while I hate to target a specific person, this example is egregiously bad. #HouNews 1/
Revitalization is being in new infrastructure while centering the community already in place, making sure legacy residents can stay in place, & local business are the norm instead of chains. 2/
Gentrification is “discovering” a neglected, usually non-white community, and calling it a blank slate.
Exhibit A is *this guy.*

#ConferenciaPresidente | @lopezobrador_ explicó que el hecho de que al unos medios de información "se dediquen a calumniar y atacar" es "una muestra fehaciente de que tenemos democracia", pues "en una dictadura no sucede eso", además, reiteró que "no va haber censura"

Let me start with #insulin. In the 1970s, insulin was extracted from the pancreas of animals. In the 1980s, @Genentech, working with Eli Lilly (@LillyPad), developed insulin using a new technology that I call #PrecisionFermentation. It wasn’t animal insulin. It was human insulin.
The mainstream would say: “health care is slow, it can’t be disrupted.”
Well, here’s the S-curve of #PrecisionFermentation human insulin. Human insulin disrupted animal insulin in about 13 years.

#PrecisionFermentation is a concept that I coined in my @rethink_x report ‘Rethinking Food and Agriculture’ with @CatherineTubb in September 2019.

“
While every soft-on-crime judge didn’t lose, we made inroads, helping to defeat some Democrat judges.”

Interestingly, there were a few GOP challengers who appear to have won: Tami Pierce has 50.06% over DaSean Jones for the 180th criminal district court.
Kristin Guiney holds 50.21% over Gemayel Haynes for the 183rd, and GOP candidates hold leads in county criminal courts 2, 3, and 14.
Home builder commentary from our survey this month was about as negative as I've seen to date. Here's some of the market color that jumped out...
#OklahomaCity builder: "Biggest challenge is your customers who just closed their home and see you drop prices by $30,000."
#Jacksonville builder: "Buying land at the top of the market and having to pull every incentive lever to sell is not a recipe for success. We'll cut starts ~60% to 70% in 2023."

Commissioner Rodney Ellis is speaking, notes there will now be two women on the court with Lesley Briones win in Precinct 4.
Hidalgo says there were some in her own party who wouldn't fundraise for her or cut an ad with her and says she will remember who they are.

Notes that the plaintiff (Texas Organizing Project) is basing TRO request on only 12 of the 782 polling locations in the county setting up challenge for whole county's election.
Latest: at least 12 locations in #HarrisCounty #Houston are out of paper needed to print ballots. Some have been waiting for hours for paper & turning voters away.

Short 🧵 on local housing markets from our monthly survey:
#Houston, TX: “Home prices have most first-time home buyers priced out of home ownership. It's even worse with the higher interest rates decreasing what the buyers can qualify for.”
#Denver, CO: “Cost of living [and] interest rate [increases] are keeping most buyers from buying.”

The 15-page letter w/docs was sent Tuesday, but someone leaked it to a reporter who then posted 2 pages and misled the public about its full contents. That person instead focused on the Texas Secretary of State sending the inspectors to Harris County, but...

Per a 1997 state law, the SOS is required to send inspectors to any county upon the request of 15 or more voters and has been sending them to Harris County, the state’s most populous, and many others for years.

Commission includes Harris County Judge, County Clerk, Tax Assessor Collector, and the chairs of the county's Democratic and Republican parties.
Note: the clerk and tax assessor collector, both elected officials, would have been in charge of elections in the county, but in 2020 commissioners court voted 3-2 to use an appointed elections administrator instead.
