Description

More than 4 million Texans woke up yesterday morning without power after winter storms that affected more than half the country.
Texas is the largest generator of wind energy in the U.S., and the outages have sparked a political debate about the state's electrical grid and use of green power.

Plus, Biden’s push for more inclusive immigration language.

And, the perils of long term unemployment.


Guests: Axios' Ben Geman, Stef Kight and Erica Pandey.
