@neenareports Simple. Have trumpy find a river or lake anywhere within 300 miles north of the city and turn the faucet on. It’ll all flow down to CC. Cuz that’s how science works. Just like he did in California.

@neenareports Between the electrical grid failing a few years back and now this maybe Texans should start voting for their best interests and stop voting for Republicans. Think of all of our tax dollars being spent on Trump’s ballroom, Israel, and a war in Iran. When Texans need water. Shame.

@neenareports @TimGuinee I live in Corpus Christi- city and state officials have known about this for at least ten years. Political/Business Leaders oversold the area for industrial development without a clear plan for dealing with the water crisis we’re now facing.

@neenareports Thank you @GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz @JohnCornyn maybe those 10 commandments in the classroom now can create some water

@neenareports Cities & states across the country in arid regions, as well as in hurricane & wildfire zones, have allowed uncontrolled growth. You would think Hurricane Katrina & California wildfires would have been a wake up call, but apparently not.

@neenareports How many AI Data centers are built around Corpus Christi? Follow the water table... this is where our water's going, PLUS the Climate Crisis. WE MUST STOP AI CENTERS THAT'RE PLANNED ON BEING BUILT AROUND OUR COUNTRY!

@neenareports I'm 30 minutes away from a wildfire in South Georgia. We are in a severe drought and the officials here want to put a data center in.

@neenareports Republicans have governed Texas for decades. Republicans own this problem. Vote Blue.

@neenareports love how the solution is not to shut down plastics plants using 13 million gallons a day but to tell all the residents to stop watering their lawns and taking their kids to the public pool lol

“It’s not going to be pretty everyone is going to have to make sacrifices.” The fact is if the city Council hadn’t dithered for the last decade, kicking this problem down the road, the city wouldn’t be facing this issue. The real crisis in Corpus Christi is a crisis of leadership.

@neenareports It's okay. Trump and his MAGA allies in Texas say climate change and global warming are not happening. Fasting and praying may also help.

@neenareports Self-inflicted. In 2017, Corpus Christi was already dealing with water shortages. Yet it decided to give - for free - 20 MILLION GALLONS a day to both @exxonmobil and @SABIC_Americas. Today, nearly80% of CC water goes to industry, mostly petrochemical. And the people suffer.

@neenareports Every problem that exists in the state of Texas is a direct result of corrupt, incompetent Republicans & the stupid people who voted for their own demise.

@neenareports And all across Texas, local and state politicians are selling out to big tech data centers that use enormous amounts of water. Idiots. EVERY last one of them.

With the $ 20B Governor Abbott wasted on his boondoggle border security stunt and the worthless sections of border wall he built, we could have built 20 desalination plants, and Corpus would not be in this situation. That's what happens when TX wastes $$ on red meat politics chasing hatred.

Power bills will go up if we build all these data centers. We’re reading reports that bills could go up $100-200 per month. This has already happened in other states. Yet another reason to put the brakes on data centers. Sign if you agree >> claytontuckertx.com/stop_ai_centers #AI #power #DataCenters #texas #water

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

How much money is being pumped into data centers in the Permian? Are they building them on top of old “plugged” wells? How much does it cost to relocate servers when one of those wells starts leaking? Ask the First Baptist Church in Grandfalls how that’s going for them. Follow me on @zombiewellz if you want updates.

My line was drawn years ago. Trump is vile. He’s not conservative. And MAGA is a cult.

Ossoff: "When you throw people off their health insurance and drive up their premiums and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, that's also corruption. That's the corruption that's endemic in our political system and predates Trump."
