Will someone tell me if people in SA are actually pissed off a bout this because I don't think people on the coasts get the serious businessness of breakfast tacos

It's not like she said Austin has better breakfast tacos, that would be unforgivable.

One group that signed off on it that Ashley fails to mention is the loving latino org that put it on

quote:

Biden’s team also provided UnidosUS with an early draft of the first lady’s speech, which the group read through for fact-checking and pronunciation purposes, but the organization did not view its role as signing off on the content of the remarks, said someone familiar with the process, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

Janet Murguía, president of UnidosUS, said that among the 1,500 attendees in the room, Biden’s comment “was actually a light moment in the speech where several people actually applauded and cheered.”

“For those of us who were there, we took the comment as it was intended, to reflect that the diversity of the Latino community as a strength of this country,” Murguía said. “Our attendees were smart enough to know how she is actually substantively supportive of the community and on our side. But it does seem like some of the right-wing extremists know that they can’t fight Biden on policy, so they reach for and resort to some cheap shots.”

According to that article, the "backlash" is a single national Latino journalists org tweet, and then tons of Republicans jumping all over this in transparently bad faith - that the Post is more than happy to reproduce in full

I've seen a lot of snarky tweets about solar/wind vs thermal between both camps, making it seem like fossil fuellords hate all renewables and the greenwads all hate thermal (they do though, that's fine).

But it seems like the policy of the state of texas as well as the market has decided to build a fuckload of solar and wind





Now, I understand that the GOP wants to prop up O&G in Tx, but it looks like the renewables are winning here

Or I guess they were before the 5000 GW worth of lignite coal plants we're going to approve next session because scotus gutted air regs.

It would be more but a Chinese basically l national tried to build a wind farm and the state made a super dumb and illegal law.

It turns out that not having to pay for fuel is a major advantage!

I'm not sure how much brown coal will be built. Sure the CO2 limits got wrecked but those plants put out hellacious amounts of heavy metals and weren't exactly a great bet just from the cost to comply with extremely well established clean air act limits. And that was before there was massive amounts of solar/wind capacity coming online, and one of the quirks of solar/wind is that it can occasionally push base load electricity prices negative.

quote:

UVALDE, TX—Creating another wave of anger toward the beleaguered police department, new footage released Wednesday showed Uvalde officers rushing into Robb Elementary School to take selfies with the shooter. “These police officers could have stopped the shooter in three minutes, but instead, they wasted over an hour taking group photos and comparing body armor,” said Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Safety, who eviscerated the officers for shaking the shooter’s hand and asking him if he had ever considered a career in law enforcement. “At one point, responding officers had managed to take the shooter’s gun, but they only said, ‘Dude, sick piece,’ and handed it back. It’s absolutely unjustifiable that these officers found the time to goof around and make a TikTok video with the gunman, yet not a single one of them thought it would be prudent to take him out while they were filming.” At press time, McCraw added that surveillance footage showed the commanding officer holding open the door for the shooter as he entered the classroom.
