A bi-yearly reminder that Briscoe Cain is a terrible legislator and Republicans do not actually give a shit about local control if they’re not the ones in control.

[gwen howerton @kissphoria]

briscoe cain files HB 274, which would turn the city of Austin into the District of Austin, with a council of leaders that answer to the lege and Lieutenant Governor.

@FavianRenkel They lost in the first round to retirement era Brad Guzan and a coach-less Atlanta team who finished 10-10-14 this season.

That is not quite the same as getting beat by prime Steph in the Finals.

@tony_martino @thesoccerdon Next year: best-of-5 first round?

@mrvela1234 Bernie’s postmortem from the election in part tried to claim the Harris campaign abandoned white and Latino middle class voters.

Felt very blinders on to me for someone who did worse than Harris in Vermont.

[Tony Cardone 🇺🇦 @TonyCardone]

Bernie Sanders has not won an election outside the state of Vermont in his entire career and it shows.

Travis County alone had ~250k more voters than the state of Vermont this cycle.

@xurbanxcowboyx If last night taught us anything, it’s that being correct doesn’t necessarily convert to votes.

[Tony Cardone 🇺🇦 @TonyCardone]

@pearsonified @KUT The City did nothing of the sort to push out a council member.

Voters did after reviewing her record.

[Tony Cardone 🇺🇦 @TonyCardone]

@marcelo_atx Bernie didn’t win the nomination in 2016 or 2020 by the well understood voting process laid out by the DNC.

Not Biden or Hillary’s fault he couldn’t build a coalition big enough to win the nomination.

@dreyesceron Join us white men who are perpetually disappointed in other white men.

It’s okay to not be okay today.

Really.

The American left’s cautious optimism that this country was capable of choosing hope over fear was completely smashed last night, and that’s painful.

Today, look out for one another.

Tomorrow, figure out how to get back in the fight.

It is increasingly hard to rectify *what* the American people vote for with *who* they vote for.

@AustinFC bring back Alex right now dammit

Gameday in America.

@ramincol @KenPaxtonTX Lawman not fond of following laws? Sounds very Paxton.

@wichomir @CariMarshallTX @kelseyhuse30 The issue lies with the state, so if you’re going to withhold these funds, it would not be something local government has any control over.

[Tony Cardone 🇺🇦 @TonyCardone]

@wichomir @CariMarshallTX @kelseyhuse30 There are almost no situations where the City of Austin tax revenue can be diverted to Austin ISD though.

They’re independent taxing entities and have no common budget or leadership.

[Tony Cardone 🇺🇦 @TonyCardone]

@MichelleS_tv No.

But I’d be willing to entertain “absolutely not” as well.

[Tony Cardone 🇺🇦 @TonyCardone]

Get ready to learn suburban Georgia and Pennsylvania counties again, America.

It’s election eve!

@AustinFCBuckeye @socceralt But they didn’t win the CCL? If you’re promoting them as the best team in league history, your trophy haul has to be more than the iffy Leagues Cup.

Several MLS teams have done the domestic double (MLS Cup/Supporters Shield) and would be better candidates.
