Ever wonder who the Texas governor and other statewide elected officials are talking to and meeting with in Washington? We did.

Come look at what @tombenning and @stephanierlamm found out:

"Hello, Washington? It’s Texas"

The vast majority of those interactions happen outside the public’s view. So we used open records requests to get the official schedules for Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton and others.
While not all meeting details or activities are recorded, even an incomplete look makes clear that these Texans are enjoying easy access in President Donald Trump’s Washington.

1/ Imagine lighting a match or flipping a light switch – the space around you ignites in a ball of flame, severely burning you or your family...
2/ More than two dozen homes have exploded in North Texas since 2006. The state could put financial pressure on the gas company to improve safety – but it usually doesn’t. interactives.dallasnews.com/2018/time-bomb/
3/ Fires and explosions along a massive network of pipelines owned and operated in Texas by @AtmosEnergy have resulted in at least 9 deaths and more than 22 serious injuries since 2006. interactives.dallasnews.com/2018/time-bomb/

1/ Jon Lambert was a PhD student at @Cornell. One morning, he slipped on a patch of ice and slammed his head into the pavement. He lay on the concrete and cried out. dallasnews.com/life/life/2018…
2/ “I think this scream came from a part of me that realized something I’d only considered abstractly before,” writes @evolambert.

“These bodies and brains of ours — and the lives they enact — are fragile, and can be broken in an instant.” dallasnews.com/life/life/2018…
3/ Elbow. Apple. Carpet. Saddle. Bubble.

The doctor told Jon to repeat those five words back to him; he could only remember three. They became his inner mantra for the next few years, one he would recite out of an obsessive compulsion to make sure he was OK.

The new leader of the Piss Boys is apparently associated with Miami Proud Boys, the chapter which shared multiple tweets claiming (with zero evidence) that I'm a pedophile.

Twitter left these tweets up for about a week despite repeated reports of abuse. 🤷‍♀️
Oddly, I've never had any direct interaction with these people. However, I know Jen Loh of Texans United For America, a local #Austin fascist hate group has hung out with Miami Piss Boys during a visit to Portland for a Patriot Prayer event.
Jen Loh runs an online store selling #QAnon propaganda, a far right conspiracy that also traffics in baseless and often homophobic accusations of pedophilia.

They say all our grievances are connected but our enemies are too. Let's work together and crush the nazis. #antifa

Fort Worth Telegram pretends they’re just now figuring out @RepKayGranger & @charliegeren’s “flood control” project is $1.2 billion tax-funded boondoggle. Too bad @startelegram gave “lukewarm” support for $250 MILLION property tax loan in May 2018 #txlege empowertexans.com/local/tarrant-…
TRWD lied to voters on the ballot:
“Tarrant County property taxpayers will be asked on May 5 to loan $250 million to Fort Worth’s controversial land redevelopment project. But that’s not what voters will be told at the ballot box.” #txlege
“The ballot says the $250 million will be used for “flood control and drainage facilities.” Not true. The loan to Tarrant Regional Water District will be spent to turn downtown Fort Worth into an island, a project that’s been limping along for 12 yrs with little to show for it.”

Real life Iron Man, aka @elonmusk has big plans for humanity.

He appears to be invested in a bunch of random ventures; rockets, $TSLA cars, tunnels..

But I think it's all connected. He's doing all of this with a very simple goal: the long-term survival of humanity.

A thread:
1/ #climatechange or #GlobalWarming is a huge threat. 14% of ghg emissions are from transportation, and 25% from electricity and heat generation. This is where @Tesla comes in. By electrifying our vehicle fleet, we can already eliminate a big chunk of emissions.
2/ The Semi will probably save more CO2 than all other #Tesla vehicles combined. Trucks drive an insane amount of miles compared to cars, & they pull a lot of cargo.

Second part of this is the energy generation & storage with Tesla Energy. Greenify the grid 👉 less CO2 emissions
