Texas is the nation's largest producer of natural gas and didn't feel the need to weatherize (or regulate weatherization!) of their electric infrastructure.

Icing is bad for airfoils. It changes their aerodynamic shape, which causes them to lose effectiveness. But there are ways to mitigate this (anti-icing systems). I guess in Texas they didn't bother to worry about the issue.

Senate parliamentarian struck the $15 minimum wage increase from the covid reconciliation bill, so that's now dead.
Senate dems could force the parliamentarian to resign (which is what GOP senators did 20 years ago to pass the Bush tax cut) but no way Schumer will do that. Alternatively, they could just ignore the parliamentarian and do it anyway, but they probably won't do that either.

Not afraid to come up with a nifty hook or a clever lyric and say, "that's good enough, we'll just call this a 32-second song and move on".

Excuse me, it would be Harris overruling the parliamentarian. Not Schumer.

I can't think of anybody less likely to tell their VP to overrule some completely invented Senate functionary than diamond joe.

The $15 Minimum wage polls very well. If Harris can overrule this she will.
