@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Bearded reedling 15cm They live in temperate regions of Europe and Asia, their diet shifts from insects in the summer to reed seeds in the winter. Males have a blue-grey head with a striking black "moustache" and bright orange-brown body. Females are a simpler buff-brown without moustache.

When hunting schools of fish and krill, these massive marine mammals open their mouths wide, taking in huge quantities of water in just a few seconds—up to 15,000 gallons in a single gulp. They then force the water out through their baleen plates, filtering out their food.

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.

GOV. ABBOTT: ".. Our top priority is to protect Texans’ safety and quality of life. .. Any project that fails to comply .. must be denied connection to the Texas grid. Simply put, Texans must come first.” #Texas www.texastribune.org/2026/08/03/t...
