- Texas: a state that thumbs its nose at fed regulation by creating its own power grid but has filed (per FEMA data) more federal disaster declarations than any other state in the nation after natural disasters and outages.
- Replying to @tlangfordThe report released today provides new details and criticism about the level of safety for the school and mistakes made in the response.
- Replying to @tlangfordWithin three minutes after the gunman entered, he had fired 100 rounds and 11 officers were in the hallway outside the classrooms, all wearing body armor and all appeared to be armed. Read all the new details here:
- Replying to @tlangfordThe report is by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training or ALERRT, based at Texas State University in San Marcos.
- Cheering on my fellow #Texas #journos from Nashville (where I've got a delayed flite to @DallasLoveField). As a reader, I want a map with where the immigrant kids are, name of contractor, how much paid so far this year by fed taxpayers, how many kids detained. #makeithappen

- Replying to @tlangford and @DallasLoveFieldI want to know EVERYTHING re these contractors. What kind of license they possess or last inspection to care for kids. I want to know who their CEOs are, what lawmakers take their money. If they apply restraints on kids. #makeithappen #Texas #journos.
- Replying to @tlangford and @DallasLoveField#TXjournos: I want to know what capacity is for each center. I want to know which #Texas, fed agency certified them. I want to SEE every PDF that details all protocols of feeding, caring for these kids. I want staffer/doctor/kid ratios. Names of all subcontractors. #MakeItHappen
