Texas crypto mines consumed more power than 1 million homes: Exclusive A SAN investigation found large crypto mines in Texas used more electricity than residents in the cities of San Antonio and El Paso combined.

On average, each of the 22 cryptocurrency mines consumed over 668,000 megawatt hours of electricity last year.

And we are not only allowing them to consume much valued power, now Abbott is investing in crypto with our tax dollars as well. A scam all around. #GregAbbot Is #Corrupt!

Humans wrote and edited the story. See our AI policy, and give us feedback. Texas cannot use its new congressional map for the 2026 election and will instead need to stick with the lines passed in 2021, a three-judge panel ruled Tuesday. The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump. They were hoping the new map would yield control of 30 of the state’s 38 congressional districts — up from the 25 they currently hold — and help protect the narrow GOP majority in the U.S. House. The map cleared the GOP-controlled Legislature in August and was quickly signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott. Several advocacy groups sued over the new district lines, saying lawmakers intentionally diluted the voting power of Black and Hispanic Texans and drew racially gerrymandered maps. Over the course of a nine-day hearing in El Paso earlier this month, they aimed to convince the judges that it was in voters’ best interest to shelve the new map until a full trial could be held. It was not immediately clear if the state still has a legal path to restoring the new map in time for 2026. Unlike most federal lawsuits, which are heard by a single district judge and then appealed to a circuit court, voting rights lawsuits are initially heard by two district judges and one circuit judge, and their ruling can only be appealed directly to the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision comes 10 days into the monthlong period when candidates can sign up for the March primary. The filing deadline is Dec. 8. This is just the opening gambit in what promises to be a yearslong legal battle over Texas’ congressional map. A lawsuit over the state’s 2021 redistricting — including its state legislative and education board seats — went to trial earlier this summer and remains pending before the same three-judge panel. The judges have indicated they may want to see how the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a major voting rights case before issuing their full ruling on Texas’ maps. But for Trump, and many of his Republican supporters in Texas, the short-term goal of having this map for the 2026 election was as important as the long game. “I’m convinced that if Texas does not take this action, there is an extreme risk that [the] Republican majority will be lost,” Sen. Phil King, R-Weatherford, said on the floor of the state Senate before the new map passed. “If it does, the next two years after the midterm, there will be nothing but inquisitions and impeachments and humiliation for our country.” _Learn about The Texas Tribune’s policies, including our partnership with The Trust Project to increase transparency in news._ **_You've read_** **_**_**__**_**article this month.

#Texas keeps circling the drain—schools, hospitals, services… all falling apart under a Trump wannabe who couldn’t lead a conga line. Need more tax money? Legalize weed! I’d rather have happy stoned rednecks on the couch than drunk ones on the highway. Fewer wrecks, more snacks! 🍪

Dear America, there is NO bottom for #KenPaxton, or for Texas under #GregAbbot. Paxton will do anything to grab attention. The state is already so gerrymandered Dems here haven't had a real shot at the governor's office or AG in decades. And it's about to get worse. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/h...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott sure loves wasting our tax dollars on political theater! Deploying DPS and the Texas Guard to a peaceful No Kings rally? What a joke. I, for one, can’t wait until voters send him packing!
#Texas #GregAbbot

Is it evacuation day for Governor Abbott again? Last time the No Kings protest rolled in, he vanished. Kings hide—leaders face the music. 🏃
#NoKings #Austin #GregAbbot

Shame on Greg Abbott and the state of Texas! Deploying the National Guard to terrorize fellow Americans in cities like Chicago and Portland is disgraceful. This isn’t leadership, it’s intimidation. All to make Trump look like some kind of warlord? Absolutely shameful and un-American.😡
#GregAbbot

#GregAbbot is another #GOP moron. Sending the #TEXASNational Guard into #ILLINOIS is like a "South vs North" Civil war battle. Go Yanks!

Pornhub Is Blocked in These 17 States (and France): How to Watch Anyway To protest age-verification laws, Pornhub is now blocked in France and a growing number of US states. VPNs can help you get around these blockades.

Pornhub says. "They just very easily moved to pirate, illegal, or other non-compliant sites that don’t ask visitors to verify their age."

Blocking porn means only Republicans will have porn. Eagerly waiting for #GregAbbot porn stash news to break.

They’re not even trying to hide it. #thejaampodcast

Once again, Governor Greg Abbott wants to arrest Democratic lawmakers for trying to stop him and Trump from rigging the voting map to hand Republicans more seats. Why is cheating the only way they can win? What are they so afraid of—fair elections?😡

Let's be honest.

You really can't get away with pissing off any part of #Texas. Especially not the part who's been nursing a mad-on, putting up with your BS... for nearly 10 patience-wearing-thin years.

At least it can be said of Greg Abbot that when you are no longer capable of restraining yourself from hitting him over the head with a chair, you won’t have to go far to find one.
