Cool things are happening when the Public Editor’s story about this massive fuckup also has a correction appended.

This story was updated to include Totenberg's description of her error, as broadcast on ATC. She did not personally hear the announcement from the chief justice.

It’s me, the consultant who keeps texting you this.

BREAKING: Camp Mystic, where 27 people died in flooding last July, says it will withdraw its application to operate this summer.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Camp Mystic today informed the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) that it is withdrawing its application for a summer 2026 camp license.

No administrative process or summer season should move forward while families continue to grieve, while investigations continue and while so many Texans still carry the pain of last July’s tragedy. We commend DSHS for their testimony this week that recognized their legal obligations. But rather than risk defending our rights under Texas law in a manner that may unintentionally effect further harm, we choose rather to withdraw our application for the 2026 camp season.

Twenty-eight precious lives were lost. We recognize that no statement and no decision can undo that loss or ease the burden carried each day by parents, siblings, loved ones, survivors, first responders and our beautiful Kerr County community. We also recognize that over 800 girls want to return to Camp Mystic Cypress Lake this summer. Our special bond with our Camp Mystic families does not change or end with the announcement. We love each of you.

This decision is intended to remove any doubt that Camp Mystic has heard the concerns expressed by grieving families, members of the Texas House and Senate investigating committees and citizens across our state. Respect for those voices requires that we step back now.

Camp Mystic will continue to fully cooperate with all ongoing investigations, comply with every lawful requirement and continue supporting recovery and healing efforts.

Today is not about camp operations. It is about respect for the families, accountability to the public and reverence for the memory of the lives lost.

Texas' grid operator, ERCOT, forecasts electricity demand in the state could more than quadruple by 2032. The vast, vast majority of that forecasted demand comes from data centers. interchange.puc.texas.gov/Documents/58...
