More than a quarter million people in and around Houston remained without power as of Monday after Hurricane Beryl hit the city last week — a crisis that has sparked political pressure from both sides of the aisle and drawn new attention to Texas’s troubled grid. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is demanding answers from the state’s biggest power utility over what went wrong in the storm, which led to blackouts for nearly 3 million people across Southeast Texas for days. He has given CenterPoint until the end of the month to offer an explanation amid a broad lack of response...

Pogacar said before the start of the race that he had been affected...

An well-run election is a regularly-scheduled revolution... without the bullets It has long been the ClashDaily position that elections are regularly scheduled revolutions where the fighting is conducted with ballots instead of bullets. But there’s a catch to that claim. The pressure-release valve that comes from the people believing their voice is being heard, even if they don’t all like the result in a given cycle only works if that voice is really being heard. Stuffing ballot boxes is only one of many ways that election results can be manipulated. Slick rules changes, bloated election rolls, security failures in election...

During an interview with MSNBC on Monday, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said that “the only reaction” to the assassination attempt on 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump “that matters here is one in which both parties denounce the use of violence in our politics.” And “I’ll keep my fingers crossed that Donald Trump will renounce violence this week. I just think I know Donald Trump, I don’t think he will do it.” Host Rachel Maddow said, “I’m not going to insist that you join in this conversation that we were having in terms of reaction to what happened...

Uncomfortable truth or outrageous lie? Either way, the British media squirmed over Trump VP pick J.D. Vance’s humorous reflection on Britain, a nuclear power, having such rapidly changing demographics. Nearly every major British media outlet carried their concerns over Ohio Senator James David (‘J.D.’) Vance’s comments at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington D.C. last week after he was selected by former President Donald Trump to be his running mate on Monday. In a 20-minute speech at the conference talking about foreign policy, defence, and America’s place in the world, Vance touched on immigration several times and made a joke...

In answer to a question posed by Jake Tapper on CNN on October 25, 2015 as to whether his presidency would result in an era of bipartisanship, then candidate Donald Trump answered, “I absolutely think so I will be a great unifier for our country.” Could it be that, fresh off his seemingly miraculous escape from death this past Saturday, Trump could become that man? Is it possible?
