It's a big improvement over 2006, when 27.6% of Texans were uninsured — but still nearly double the national uninsured rate of 9.5%. Zoom in: Collin (10.6%), Denton (11.5%) and Rockwall (11.2%) counties have some of the lowest percentages of uninsured Texans. 👀 Read more: https://trib.al/ETMyk7n

🚨 SCOOP: The Federal Election Commission will not propose any new rules for artificial intelligence in political advertising this year, Republican chair Sean Cooksey exclusively told Axios. Why it matters: The decision likely means this election will continue to rely on voluntary actions by #tech companies, since Congress is still trying to figure out what to do about #AI in elections. Driving the news: On Thursday, Cooksey is proposing to close out a pending rulemaking petition about regulating the use of AI in political ads, with the commission set to vote on his proposal Aug. 15.

But rifts among environmental groups, climate hawks and renewables companies about how to weigh its fossil fuel provisions will be crucial to its future. Zoom in: Several NGOs are modeling the emissions footprint of the legislation, with results expected in the coming weeks, according to one person involved in that effort.
