Today, Lee Bratcher, President of the Texas Blockchain Council, joins us to talk about the newly signed Senate Bill 6 that completely overhauls interconnection and curtailment rules for large loads over 75MW on the Texas grid. We cover the four primary pillars of this legislation, why the 4CP program changes could be more consequential than other provisions, and how this affects Bitcoin miners versus AI data centers.

**Notes:**

• ERCOT expects 150GW growth by 2030 vs 120GW realistic

PBS News Hour - World - What’s behind Trump’s shift on arming Ukraine and his threats against Russia

President Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced they would infuse Ukraine with American weapons bought by European allies. Trump also threatened massive sanctions on Russia if there is no ceasefire by early September. It was a remarkable turnaround for a president who only months ago blamed Ukraine for the war and ridiculed its president. Nick Schifrin reports.

Consider This from NPR - Trump threatens Russia over Ukraine. Will it make a difference?

President Trump has made some big shifts in U.S. policy on Russia's war with Ukraine lately.

In the course of two weeks, Trump halted and reinstated weapons to Ukraine and he began openly showing frustration with Russian president Vladimir Putin's continued military escalations.

Now, Trump has announced a deal with NATO to try to pressure Russia toward a ceasefire deal in just 50 days by threatening stiff tariffs and increased military aid to Ukraine.

President Trump seems to be taking a tougher stance against Russia, but will it make a difference, and will it last?

The Gist - Chris and Paul Weitz say Murderbot Doesn’t Want to Be a Real Boy

Murderbot showrunners Chris and Paul Weitz join to discuss their sci-fi series’ blend of chamber thriller, workplace satire, and reluctant hero tale—all orbiting a security unit who just wants to be left alone to binge his stories. They talk robot servitude, world-building exhaustion (“every chair must be a space chair”), and how Alexander Skarsgård’s performance brings Scandinavian placidity to a roiling interior monologue. Also: the GOP goes ball(point)istic over Biden’s legal use of an autopen.

President Donald Trump kicked off the countdown to the anniversary at a rally in Iowa – right as Congress passed his sweeping domestic policy bill.
