The Fed should cut rates by 50 basis points to boost growth. High auto costs drive down EV sales, cause Tesla job cuts, and keep old cars on the road; raising repair costs and climate risks. A range-based inflation target, like Canada's 1%-3%, could better stabilize markets.

With a $1 billion annual budget, @austinenergy must provide more frequent updates on power outages. Relying solely on a website and text messages isn’t enough. Austinites deserve comprehensive communication from #AustinEnergy's team of public information professionals.…

Wholesale energy prices in Texas nearly hit the price cap of $5,000/MWh tonight At the same time, battery discharge peaked at over 2000 MW While that represents only 4% of the total load, it's the highest level ever recorded in ERCOT according to the data we track @grid_status

Battery storage just passed 2,000 megawatts deployed for only the 2nd time in ERCOT, reaching a record of 4% of total load served. Prices briefly spiked near the max. No emergency declared despite 30,000 megawatts of gas & coal outages, most of which was unplanned. #txlege

Every neighbor in Garrison Park area saw the same thing: rush of winds from opposite end of the storm, then swirling winds and gusts before the trees came down. And mailboxes of all things? @ChikageWeather @averytomascowx @KXAN_Weather @TravisCOSW

I wanted to thank all of you who were so kind to text and call after my head collided with concrete while I was covering the UT protests. Officers and students alike quickly offered a helping hand after my mishap. The flood of good wishes was really touching. I'm fine now. DM
