SUMMARY: In Humble, Texas, a major traffic issue caused by a surge of 18-wheelers heading to a new Amazon warehouse has been addressed after a technology glitch caused improper dispatching. The glitch led to nearly 1,000 trucks being directed to the area, overwhelming roads not designed for heavy truck traffic. The city halted deliveries and is working with Amazon to resolve the issue. While the road is clearer now, some trucks remain en route, with the last surge expected the next morning. Local officials are committed to preventing further disruptions, but residents feel left in the dark about the solution.

Abbott emphasized the need for divestment from Chinese investments due to financial risks associated with CCP aggression. He called for immediate evaluation and divestment of state funds in China, fostering collaboration with other governors to encourage investment alternatives. These measures follow discussions by a select committee exploring foreign threats to Texas’ economy and security.
