@RepLloydDoggett Go enjoy the $53 million you made while in Congress while ‘earning’ about $150,00 a year. Try to remember not hating America on your way out to pasture.

@rg14atxusa @KXAN_News Exactly. Clearly danger to public. Stabs a priest unprovoked. Admits it to police. Crazy times. He will be pacing around now without a job. Who’s next?

@KennethRWebster You make sense. But purist textualists would need a Constitution about 100 millions word long to account for all occurrences when you just might need common sense to save our country.

@fox7austin No such thing as transgender. Boys and girls. Men and women. All the rest is mental illness and deviance. BS. Eff y’all for trying to change language.

@capmetro bus ridership is down in the months since the May stabbing murder on an Austin bus - a story sadly similar to the horror attack in Charlotte, N.C., making national headlines this weekend.
On May 14, Deepak Kandel, 31, stabbed 30-year-old Akshay Gupta in the neck without being provoked. The murder took place in the 500 block of South Lamar, near Barton Springs Road. Kandel was found incompetent to stand trial.
Since the attack, bus ridership was down in both June and July. See attached.
We await the August numbers to see if ridership has stabilized.
Gupta's family is suing the Paris-based operator of Austin's transit buses. CapMetro is not named in the lawsuit.

@KennethRWebster Texas doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a massive spending problem because of Talaricos and RINOs.

🔥💵The rate of Texas spending at the city, county and state level has far outpaced inflation over the past 10 years.
▶️State budget growth has doubled the rate of inflation.
▶️Travis County and Austin are worse.
How much more can residents take?
Total Growth Over 10 Years (2015-2024)
Cumulative inflation rate over the period: 32%.
State of Texas > 14% pop. growth > 60% budget growth
Travis County > 16% pop. growth > 86% budget growth
City of Austin > 8% pop. growth > 69% budget growth

@Austin_Police Any relation to Donnie Brasco?

[CTXNews @CTXNews]

@Austin_Police Seems like a nice person, but I want a Texas-beef-fed DUDE showing up if I had a real-life problem. Nice photo.

Why is this happening..? Have you no shame, @austintexasgov?

[CTXNews @CTXNews]

@austinreforms Terrific work. Local media is a disaster for the most part. Occasional corruption investigations, but nothing like this. In a just world, several dozen Austin leaders would be headed to prison.

Austin spent a staggering $1.7 BILLION+ on homelessness, peaking at a $315M annual burn rate. The result? A record-high surge in homelessness (+29%). Uncover the massive shadow budgets, enriched executives, and falsified data in this explosive investigative report: https://t.co/mgdAQaSUTi

A note from our editors:

It is afraid. As it should be. We cannot be bought; we cannot be intimidated. And we are not alone.

Austin deserves better.

Great substack from Austin Reform. Well worth the read

Austin taxpayers are paying for city council members and staff to attend DSA conferences where they network and discuss how to gain more power

The #txlege should put a stop to this , property taxes should not fund the DSA!
