Texas Democrats are facing a potential internal conflict as redistricting could force long-standing Rep. Lloyd Doggett and rising star Rep. Greg Casar into a competitive race for the same district, amid broader Republican efforts to redraw districts favoring GOP seats.

U.S. Rep. Greg Casar has filed a bill to connect Texas' energy grid to neighboring states, aiming to end the state's energy isolation and improve reliability. The bill would mandate coordination with federal regulators and neighboring grid-operating organizations to create high-voltage interconnections, potentially reducing power costs for consumers and allowing Texas to sell more renewable energy. However, the bill faces opposition due to concerns about increased federal oversight and potential threats to the state's energy independence.
