1/ A federal judge has threatened to lock up Texas prison officials for violating his court order to place some inmates in air conditioning.

"We ought to have prison officials in prison at the same temperature." #txlege bit.ly/2I70MID
2/ Friday's hearing was the latest development in a five-year lawsuit over the heat in one of 75 Texas prison units that do not have air conditioning in inmate housing areas.

Texas has reported nearly two dozen prisoner heat-related deaths since 1998.

3/ In 2014, several inmates at the William Pack prison near College Station sued the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for keeping prisoners in uncooled housing where temperatures routinely surpassed 100 degrees. bit.ly/2I70MID

1/ A judge told Texas to give some inmates air conditioning.

But lawyers say prison officials are violating that order. #txlege

2/ The lawyers representing inmates in a long and costly legal battle over a lack of air conditioning in Texas prisons claimed the state continues to jeopardize the lives of some of the nearly 900 inmates a judge ruled must be kept in cool temperatures. bit.ly/30ZgexP
3/ Lawyers also accused the agency of hiding multiple instances of noncompliance with the court order. bit.ly/30ZgexP

1/ Until now, it was nearly impossible for voters to estimate how much state Sen. Royce West made from his private business interests.

But his U.S. Senate run means the public can now get a better look at his considerable wealth. #txlege #tx2020

2/ For years, West has raked in millions in legal fees representing various governmental entities and major Texas cities.

Some say he is using his influence as a state lawmaker to score business deals that average citizens can’t get. #tx2020

bit.ly/2MX5Pix
3/ According to a Texas Tribune analysis of a recent U.S. Senate disclosure, the Wests have assets worth between $8.7 million and $28 million.

My heart breaks at the news of another mass shooting by a white male on Saturday, August 31 in Odessa, Texas.

Since the last series of mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton just four weeks ago, I have devoted significant time to studying the Second Amendment.
Thread: 1/8
It is quite short. Just four phrases separated by commas.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
2/8
I have an analysis on the entire amendment that I will share at a later date, but for now I would like to highlight the third and fourth phrases.

"the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"

The memorial in front of @NipseyHussle’s store is huge. Hundreds of people are still gathered. The crowd has hardly shrunk since late last night. @ABC7
A HUGE stampede of people rushed out of the @NipseyHussle memorial area. People thought they heard something break or a loud noise and started running. @ABC7
