The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of a Texas man on death row who has long argued that DNA testing would help prove he didn't kill an 85-year-old woman during a home robbery decades ago.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear an appeal by a Texas man who faces the death penalty for his role in the murder of an elderly mobile home park owner and is seeking DNA testing of evidence from the crime scene.

Texas elections law says state prison inmates who are appealing their convictions are eligible to register. Many lawyers and voting rights advocates were unaware of the rule.

A project linking the Texas power grid with those in the Southeast will receive a federal grant of up to $360 million — if it can overcome obstacles that have stalled it for years. The DOE's investment is a drop in the bucket compared with the $2.

The power grid better known as the Texas Interconnection, operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), is famous for being isolated from the other major U.S. grids. But that may soon finally change.

The Biden administration said Thursday it will channel millions of dollars toward building an electricity transmission line that would connect Texas’ isolated power grid with the rest of the country.
