The O’Rourke campaign announced Friday that it would be deploying over 44,000 volunteers to contact more than 2 million Texas voters via home visits, text messages, phone calls and letters in February. The effort was launched after President Joe Biden’s effort to pass federal voting rights legislation failed in the Senate and while O’Rourke lagged far behind Abbott in most polls, with the Republican governor enjoying a 15 point lead in the most recent survey....

O’Rourke, who is challenging Abbott in November, reacted to ERCOT, the state’s power grid operator, asking Texans and Texas businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity between 2-8 p.m as the recent heat waves in Texas has caused power demand in the state to reach record levels. As part of its appeal for Texans to conserve power, ERCOT has suggested that people turn up their thermostat a degree or two and avoid running major appliances or pool pumps during afternoon peak hours on Monday....

LAS VEGAS – The lowest total on the board tonight has the Tigers at Tampa Bay with a number posted at 6.5, and for good reason. Not only are tonight’s starters, Max Scherzer and Chris Archer, pitching at their absolute best of the season, but both teams are having difficulty scoring runs. Scherzer (14-4, 2.98 ERA) is on a run of going 6-1 with a 1.78 ERA over his last 10 starts and will be looking for his AL-leading 15th win of the season....

The Botox boom, backed by a $50 million advertising campaign, has made the dream of youthful skin seem more accessible than ever. Yet not everyone can afford up to $1,000 per treatment. Experts say unlicensed operators are offering cut-rate services out of homes and beauty parlors, particularly in immigrant communities. In many cases the injections aren’t Botox at all, but substances like silicone or colla-gen. In Florida, officials report getting new calls daily from patients suffering from botched procedures....

The iconic singer’s seventh studio album, which features 16 tracks, was released on Friday, weeks after lead single “Break My Soul” helped whet fans’ appetites. And as the star channels a number of thoughts, feelings and life moments in song form on the new project, one area touched upon appears to be the eight-year-old scandal involving her sibling and spouse. Back in May 2014, the fiercely private family hit the headlines after leaked security footage showed Solange physically attacking Jay-Z in a New York City elevator as the trio departed a Met Gala after-party....

Two years after the collapse of the Thai baht triggered the “Asian flu,” such monuments to broken dreams are common across the region. But money is now pouring back in. In Thailand, foreign portfolio investors have driven the market up 50 percent since January on the expectation of imminent economic recovery. The evidence? A government claim, since proved wrong, that the ratio of bad debt held by Thai banks had peaked, plus an official projection that the economy will expand in 1999 by 1 percent....

Los Angeles: Actor Will Smith rented a Learjet so he wouldn’t have to miss work the next day on the set of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” “It was important for me to go because I wanted to be a part of blackmen loving one another,” said Smith, who has a 2-year-old son. Former"Crip" Charles Rachal and former “Blood” Leon Gulette took a commercial flight home together–sharing ideas for getting other young hoods to get away from gang life....

“Did I want to end up with Joe Biden, two white males in the election? Not really. I don’t see it being so progressive,” Lappos said in an exclusive interview with Hearst Connecticut Media. “However, Joe Biden is the obvious choice to beat Trump right now and therefore, I support him.” Last year, Lappos was one of several women to accuse Biden of past inappropriate touching. In an interview with The Hartford Courant, Lappos said Biden had “put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me” at a fundraiser in Connecticut in 2009....

“This is an essential step that President Biden has taken to remove McHenry from leadership of the immigration courts,” Greg Chen, senior director of government relations at the American Immigration Lawyers Association, told Newsweek. Replacing McHenry at EOIR indicates that Biden’s administration will change the policy direction in the nation’s immigration courts. Biden has been public about how his immigration agenda is a major shift from Trump administration policies. Biden has supported legalization of undocumented immigrants and also wants to expand refugee resettlement....

Personnel is policy. By dint of such ties, and past dutiful service to administrations that pursued the very policies of engagement and accommodation that enabled Communist China’s rise, we can surmise that the president, and the architects of his agenda, will likely be uniquely soft on China. That the fledgling Biden presidency has, by political necessity, sought to create a veneer of toughness toward China with rhetoric—while from its earliest days, literally and figuratively bending over for it with a battery of weak policies—would seem to reinforce this view....

During a virtual meeting with governors on Friday, Biden stressed that Congress will “ultimately” have to act to protect abortion rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last week. “The filibuster should not stand in the way of us being able to do that, but right now we don’t have the votes in the Senate to change the filibuster,” Biden said, according to The Hill. “That means we need two more votes....

An Echelon Insights survey found that if the next election were being held today, voters would narrowly back Biden (46 percent) over Trump (44 percent), with the president also the preferred choice when up against the Florida governor (45 percent to 41 percent). When those taking part in the poll said who they would vote for between Harris and the two Republican frontrunners, the vice president also came out on top....

He also joined Democratic colleagues in asking the Centers for Disease Control and other agencies to release detailed data on how the epidemic has affected communities of different ages, races and incomes. “This pandemic is shining a light on so many inequities in our society—the lack of paid sick leave for workers, the need for stronger unemployment insurance, the necessity for a livable minimum wage,” Biden wrote. “Unsurprisingly, it’s also amplifying the structural racism that is built into so much of our daily lives, our institutions, our laws, and our communities....

After the debate, the Trump campaign released video footage of Biden and his running mate, vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, both supporting bans on fracking. She, like Biden, has since advocated for limiting fracking rather than banning it outright. “I never said I oppose fracking,” Biden said. “You said it on tape,” Republican President Donald Trump replied. “Show the tape, put it on your website,” Biden replied. “The fact of the matter is he’s flat lying,” Biden said of Trump’s claim that Biden had endorsed banning it....

Only the Left can get to him in his basement, and the result is a steady slide to politically disastrous positions. His most recent attack on the American people was his endorsement (or borrowing) of the Cory Booker/James Clyburn plan to use the federal government to destroy the suburbs by forcing changes imposed by Washington bureaucrats. The plan would seek to diversify American suburbs by withholding federal dollars from communities that do not change local zoning ordinances to accommodate denser housing....

In a statement Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was working to require all those traveling to the U.S. by air to take a COVID test within 24 hours before boarding their flights, The Associated Press reported. As of now, fully vaccinated travelers can present a test with 72 hours of boarding. “CDC is working to modify the current Global Testing Order for travel as we learn more about the Omicron variant; a revised order would shorten the timeline for required testing for all international air travelers to one day before departure to the United States,” the agency said....

The incident took place as the leaders of the world’s richest nations gathered for the G7 summit in the German Alps, where Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine was at the top of the agenda. “Excuse me, sorry to interrupt,” Macron said as he approached Biden on the sidelines of the summit, according to a clip posted on Twitter. Macron appeared to tell Biden that Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the leader of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), had told him that both the UAE and Saudi Arabia could not substantially increase oil production....

Biden gave no indication who might be up for consideration for the position but has previously stated that he would be choosing a woman as his running mate. “I think that I need somebody who, in fact, is simpatico with me, both in terms of personality as well as substance,” Biden said at a virtual fundraiser Wednesday, adding that the right candidate would need to employ the “same basic approach” toward approaching the issues....
