@WSJ Just as he'd done after the El Paso shooting, Gov. Greg Abbott flew to West Texas and offered words of sympathy and promises to take action.

"We know that words alone are inadequate. Words must be met with action." bit.ly/2zN6YAB
@WSJ "I have been to too many of these events. I am heartbroken by the crying of the people of the state of Texas. I am tired of the dying of the people of the state of Texas. Too many Texans are in mourning." — @GregAbbott_TX bit.ly/2zN6YAB
@WSJ @GregAbbott_TX Greg Abbott read aloud a text he received from the mother of the 17-month-old girl who was shot and is now hospitalized in Lubbock. bit.ly/2zN6YAB
@WSJ @GregAbbott_TX The mother wrote that the child will undergo surgery to repair her lip, teeth and tongue and remove shrapnel from her chest. The child's jaw wasn't struck. bit.ly/2zN6YAB

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

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.

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@wdunlap “Attorneys for #Epstein say he obtained a foreign #passport under an alias in 1980s to defend himself from potential kidnappers while traveling in the Middle East.

worried about perils he faced traveling there as ‘an affluent member of the Jewish faith’”

I mean really 😂
Got a thread on it that ends here:

There are some additional nuances by state, but that should get him mostly up-to-speed

Basically, yes. It's not an affirmative defense but it will be an argument they make in their briefs, based on the evidence that comes out during discovery or affidavits that get filed

That language is more signaling than legal effect though

Yes! The true conservative solution is to spend obscene sums of other people's money to arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate people who aren't a threat to the community
Let's do a brief "There’s a very simple way to avoid incarceration: don’t commit a crime." thread while I wait for my client's case to be called
Just last week, a police officer in Biscayne Park FL pled guilty to framing two innocent black men so the town could meet statistical goals

The men didn't commit a crime, but went to jail anyway

Today, @CER_EU publishes my piece on #Brexit and #JHA. I have been looking at this for 1,5 years so I hope I did not make too many mistakes (links to piece - cer.eu/publications/a… and opens thread)
At the outset of the #Brexit process, most people assumed that a deal on #police and #judicial co-operation was easier to get than one on #trade. Time has shown this is not the case. Ongoing co-op on #JHA is one of the few items yet to be agreed on #withdrawal deal. Why?
Well, because the #EU and #UK's opening positions in the #negotiation are incompatible: Britain wants a #bespoke agreement with the EU, a la #Schengen, but is not willing to accept #ECJ or #EUCharter. EU wants to replicate existing models. What to do?
