BREAKING - I’m at an apartment complex off TPC Parkway where a massive fire erupted.

I’m trying to get you info soon, but I’m told the complex has had electricity but did not have water since last Sunday.
This is the scene of the fire, which has clearly destroyed parts of the Stone Oak complex already.

Still no explanation, confirmation or denial from Cruz or his office.

Just in from @TedCruz: “With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon."

2/ If this sounds Enron-ish, that's because Texas' whole energy system is based on Enron's playbook.

Enron tried to pass a bill that deregulated energy in Texas in 1991, and it was killed by Kevin Bailey (D). Enron then tried to kill Bailey's career as a warning to others...
3/ They eventually bought the whole state Republican party, and by 1999 under a party led by Dubya, they deregulated retail energy and created a joint venture called New Power Company...

... Enron collapsed before it was created. Tragic, really.
