Public transit stans will look you dead in the eyes and say this is a good idea

[The Texan @TheTexanNews]

A proposed Austin-San Antonio high-speed rail line would cost an estimated $13.5 billion to build and $190 million annually to operate, according to a feasibility study, which did not include ridership or fare estimates. https://t.co/09UOzSXS0j

Thank you, Mr. President.

Your leadership has been indispensable to protecting women and girls across America.

You’re exactly right: the Protect College Sports Act preserves the laws in all 27 states protecting women’s sports, leaves Title IX untouched, protects college athletes, and gives us our best opportunity to save the college sports generations of Americans have loved.

Let’s get it done.

🚨President Trump DOUBLES DOWN on the Protect College Sports Act

“Without this Bill, millions of young Athletes will be hurt, programs will be canceled”

[Austin Statesman @statesman]

Texas Public Policy Foundation sued Austin on behalf of Northwest Hills homeowner Michael Petrick who the city ordered to replace trees or pay $8,800. https://t.co/wjrnWsvlAn

.@TPPF tested public opinion on including Bible references as part of public school curriculum just before last year’s legislative session and it was overwhelmingly popular with Texas voters.

Modern Veep:

Jonah goes full MAHA as he dates a girl who sells fermented foods at a farmers market

Selina is rattled by “Ozempic face” accusations

Dan gets sober, is annoyingly smug about it, and gains weight from NA beers

Amy is scapegoated for stinking up Air Force Two

[Kara @karafagan]

MLB teams have whole campaigns begging you to vote their players into the ASG. They should start airing political-style ads that attack their opponents with unflattering black & white photos and out of context quotes.

82-0 might be fun for some of you, but for True & Ethical appreciators of defense, glue guys, vibes, grinders, and “he just does the little things” guys, this game is actually a minor form of torture

[OldTimeHardball @OleTimeHardball]

Amazing look at some of the game’s iconic windups

[Center for the American Future @LitigateLiberty]

We just filed a complaint, on behalf of local taxpayers, against the City of Austin for imposing an unconstitutional tax on utilities customers.

The “Transportation User Fee” can cost households more than $260 per year.

@DowntroddenInDC @RC_177 @BisforBerkshire @lynnsdavenport That link cites 11 independent polls plus GOP primary results.

You’re welcome to your opinion on this issue, but to misconstrue it as representing a majority of anyone other than white Democrats is delusional online bubble behavior.

@DowntroddenInDC @RC_177 @BisforBerkshire @lynnsdavenport Wrong https://t.co/LEy5yy9RUs

@paulsaladinomd Sounds great. People exaggerating costs in the replies can look at Wholly Cow’s menu and find something similar for under $15.

@RkFast2 @PitchingNinja Why? Has no effect on where the ball crosses the plate for the hitter

[Center for the American Future @LitigateLiberty]

SCOTUS ruled that the president cannot use the IEEPA to unilaterally impose tariffs.

So, what's next?

Our attorneys dissect the Court's decision on the premiere of Rightly Decided!

@Tim_TX_Aggie_96 @nathancunneen Not that it should’ve been a statewide referendum, but the outcome would’ve been the same. https://t.co/LEy5yy9RUs

@MrsKBing @TPPF Who funds public schools?

[Eric Oldfather @EricOldfather]

Austin ISD is an unmitigated disaster, putting activism over academics.

[Brian Phillips @RealBPhil]

NEW: "I personally observed several hundred students—some of them very young—marching up Congress Avenue toward the Texas Capitol. Many carried signs bearing vulgar slogans, including messages such as 'F*** ICE.' Students arrived in waves, at times accompanied by Austin ISD police officers. Adults wearing badges walked alongside the students, suggesting the presence of teachers or other district personnel."
