The plot thickens..

Sports betting remains illegal in Texas, so Texans can’t use DraftKings’ traditional sportsbook or online casino.

But DraftKings offers other products, including daily fantasy sports, free-to-play contests and prediction markets, that are available in the state. Here’s how prediction markets differ from traditional sports betting — and why they operate under a different regulatory framework.

The list of courses on the chopping block includes Modern Art of Mexico; Slavery and its Legacies; Race, Law and U.S. Society; History of Money and Corruption; Rhetoric of Cuteness; Banned Books and Novel Ideas; Global Environmental History; American Jewish History and the History of College Football.

He knows he doesn't have a chance in hell of winning. It's all a scam to get donations. Even the losing candidate makes millions in campaign finance from RNC and corporations. This is what money in politics does. One scam after another to fleeced citizens 🤷

Hello everyone!

I’m not looking for rudeness, I’m looking for legitimate ideas.

I’ve lived in Texas for 5 years now. I struggle during the summers. I’m in the Houston area and it is swampy, hot and humid. I have rosacea so it just adds to it all. My kids have eczema that is flared by the heat. Moving is not an option and I want to love where I live, but basic things like cooking in the evenings can make things feel unbearable. The added heat makes my rosacea flare like crazy and it doesn’t calm down. I try to do crockpot or airfryer meals as often as possible, but sometimes I need to cook over a hot stove or use an oven.

Also going out and sweating like crazy isn’t super pleasant. My kids don’t enjoy playing outside, we will go to the park but they very quickly want to go home.

I don’t know. I just need tips and tricks on how to adapt to this heat and live our best lives. I don’t want to feel stuck inside all day.

*Edited to add I moved here to escape a DV relationship and that was my priority and this is where I could move to. So I’m genuinely not looking for rude comments, just ways to make the summer easier.

Texas played a recurring role in Gloria Steinem’s decades-long work for women’s political power and equality, from Austin gatherings to the 1977 National Women’s Conference in Houston.

Our contract with Reliant expired on 8/21, and I did not sign a new contract with them. I signed up with Gexa on 8/23, but Reliant is now charging me an early cancellation fee. I’m not sure why I was charged this fee since my contract had already expired.

James Talarico accepted CNN's debate invitation Wednesday morning, marking the fourth time the U.S. Senate Democratic nominee has agreed to debate his GOP challenger, Ken Paxton — despite Paxton's inaction on past invitations.
