Just an Austinite. Head of Developer Platform @Indeed by day, Texas political junkie by night. 🏳️‍🌈

@longhornderek What no Lotus-1-2-3?

[Michael Redding @mredding]

I paid $3.49/gal for gas today and I was happy it was such a steal.

Meanwhile, the president:

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "Re-gilding of the massive Arts of War sculptures, located between The Lincoln Memorial and site of The Triumphal Arch, rapidly continues. The sculptures will be fully regilded by July 3rd. The photos below were taken yesterday. The Gilders’ Studio has flown in Gilders from around the Country to perform this work!"

I feel like @jamestalarico spending some money on sports talk ads in and around DFW, Temple, Waco & Houston over the next few weeks on a corruption theme might be money well spent

[Dirty Texas Hedge @HedgeDirty]

Paxton siding with the interests of Tech against the direct interests of Baylor, TCU, and UH and against the indirect interests of UT, A&M, and SMU is maybe not the wisest read of how to navigate Texas politics

Shangela Law

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Weird, I was told he would usher in Sharia law.

[Michael Redding @mredding]

look I know we are all immune to this but this is a crime. Literal crime. The White House is legally a National Park and thus can only be modified by an Act of Congress

[FactPost @factpostnews]

New photo of Trump's $60 million White House UFC arena

@UnusuallyQuiet9 Im talking about the mundane things we take for granted. Free chips and salsa in Mexican restaurants/free bread in Italian restaurants. Free ice water. Free public toilets.

So many mundane things that come from a position of true abundance that we take them for granted

[Michael Redding @mredding]

america has been so blessed by abundance for so long that we have torn ourselves into shreds over perceived anti-abundance and yet we have things even the most advanced European countries couldn't dream of

[daeveningglow @InlandCaGuy]

I'm sorry to be that guy, but on some level you all know these World Cup German tourists are pretending to find America super awesome for the clicks, right? Like, I just saw one of them pretending she just experienced plane wi fi for the first time....

[Michael Redding @mredding]

@socdemsam Air conditioning in every home. Free appetizers and beverages in restaurants. Some cities have free trash pickup! Free public toilets. A relatively large welfare state with a relatively low tax burden.

There's abundance everywhere here if people would look

[Michael Redding @mredding]

@longhornderek It was such a collapse that Ted Cruz had to have been somewhere at that game

[Freddy🇩🇪 @FreddyLA7]

DUDE LMAO THIS IS A GAS STATION😭😭😭

[Michael Redding @mredding]

@longhornderek Freddy discovered bucees and I cannot

[Michael Redding @mredding]

Somebody give this man a green card

[Freddy🇩🇪 @FreddyLA7]

This is the most “The European mind can’t comprehend this” moment of my life. One of my friends said, “Punch me five times tomorrow and I’ll still think this isn’t real.”

[Michael Redding @mredding]

@blink182Dem Gotta have at least one joke in there about celebrating the last weekend of pride with a straight marriage. And turn that into a line about how youre glad he finally gets to enjoy what you've had for longer as a wink and a nod

[Michael Redding @mredding]

Ah, well, nevertheless

[NEWSMAX @NEWSMAX]

A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. https://t.co/3lGn15PndO

[Michael Redding @mredding]

was falling asleep at a basketball game*

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

There would have been a Chernobyl-level meltdown in the media if Biden or Obama was at a freaking basketball game while an American military helicopter was shot down during a war they started.

[Michael Redding @mredding]

That Paxton +10 with Anglo voters is actually a crazier stat than Talarico only +10 with Latino voters. If that holds, Kenny P is cooked and it might not actually wind up all that close

[Gabby Birenbaum @birenbomb]

New Texas A&M Bush School / Siena Research #txsen poll

🔵Talarico: 47%
🔴Paxton: 44%

White: Paxton +10
Black: Talarico +57
Latino: Talarico +10

Talarico favorable: +6
Paxton favorable: -20
Trump approval: 44%

Generic House ballot:
49% R
43% D

6/1-6/4, n=807, MOE = +-4%

[Michael Redding @mredding]

A legitimate thing I think about is that I knew my great grandmother (b 1896) and that when I'm an old man, someone who will be living squarely into the 2100s will be one generation removed from the 19th century

[Roy @royllovians]

A challenge for internet historians: Identify an internet post by someone born in the 1800s. E.g. an early USENET post by an 85-year-old, or an early Listserv post by a 90-year-old

[Michael Redding @mredding]

Good job Maine Democrats pushing Jared Golden out and also throwing what should be a winnable election. 10/10 no notes

[Ben Jacobs @Bencjacobs]

Both Platner AND Mills now running behind a generic Democrat against Collins.

[Michael Redding @mredding]

Yard signs don't vote but it was wild driving back from the Coastal Bend and seeing a giant "Pulido for Congress" billboard sized sign with a Trump flag flying from it outside of Beeville

[Max Cohen @maxpcohen]

#TX15 news: GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz told supporters last month that she was leading Bobby Pulido by "only one point," per her internal polling

“And I said, ‘oh, sweet Lord Jesus, right. That's not good,’” De La Cruz recounted.

After Clinton lost in 2016, the liberals spent *years* trying to figure out how to get out of their online bubble that they'd created for themselves.

Who knew that the psychological safety option would be to just believe it was all fake and a lie instead?

[Rod Dreher @roddreher]

Let's assume, for argument's sake, that Nithya Raman really did, unlikely as it seems, got to second place in the LA mayoral race. The problem is that many, many, MANY of us simply cannot believe it. It seems for all the world like fraud. This matters, & is going to matter more.
