Just be happy you aren't in a rural area of Texas where fire codes are illegal.

She yells at her staff members a lot and apparently made little friends when she was in Austin.

FWIW there's a push to get candidates on the ballot by Denton county Dems regardless of feasibility because there's a belief that having more candidates to vote for has a positive effect on Democratic turnout.

I remember the last time I was in our state office for a fire drill, 7th floor, took all afternoon (not exactly sure on time in reality). Like, the stairwells were way too full for us to keep moving.

I'm learning from this search for daycare that the only affordable daycare is religious, and probably only some of those are cool with gay parents. So I assume school vouchers is just that for all school ages?

I don't feel as if that's the issue here Bob. But anyway I believe that there are probably Jewish and Muslim private schools so I'd assume they're for it.

https://twitter.com/RobertTGarrett/status/1704239524279165234

'rot' not 'lot'. Not sure where it says that in scripture, but if you guys think Jesus is about to come back how bout y'all go wall yourselves up in a compound for the next 200 years and leave the rest of us alone.

there are definitely Muslim private schools and based on my anecdotal knowledge they're vaguely split between "posh school for children of rich immigrants" and "school catering to poorer demographics", not that I particularly expect Texan Christian private school types to make common cause with the first category because they're bigoted morons

Dunno if it helps any but I know of a good non-religious daycare on Far West that wasn't crazy priced.

I think that's only for employment. I know nationally there's still stories of same-sex parents being turned away from daycares programs.

What? I remember Oklahoma having it on the ballot years and years ago ago. Looking it up: https://www.npr.org/2012/01/10/144984595/court-strikes-down-okla-sharia-ban
Apparently the 10th circuit court overturned it.

Finally my local news outlet has been getting off it's rear end and reporting on SpaceX after continually getting clowned by larger national news outlets.

https://www.krgv.com/news/spacex-proposal-aims-to-dump-treated-wastewater-into-the-bay

They're only BARELY trying to apply for a permit after spending most of the year after the poo poo house launch, either not picking up debris, or installing what would barely be a proper launch pad. This doesn't even cover where the wastewater would be collected before they would theoretically dump it into the South Bay. Which would still require the Army Corps of Engineers to come and do their own survey. It's a loving mess.

Nah he's going to make a lot of fuss about launching investigations into the House members who impeached him and incompetently flail in all directions for a bit before it all fizzles out and he goes back to his usual incompetent flailing at the right-wing devil of the week.
