"Texas could be a national exemplar": Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development @henrygcisneros speaks with host @bradswail about how Texas can handle the next decade of growth and development.

@catturd2 I will bet you $1000 that Massie wins. Put your money where your mouth is

I never said public polls - I said internal polls. Another example of massholes weaponizing community notes with lies.

35 Texas counties are producing 75% of the state's GDP. @henrygcisneros, former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and former mayor of San Antonio, speaks with host @bradswail about how the Texas economy has grown beyond oil, gas, and ranching.

@patrickbetdavid The buck stops with Trump. Cmon Pat

The business of politics is nasty, ugly, and at times humiliating. There’s something very attractive about the sport of politics, but it’s not for everyone. One day you’re a rockstar. The next, you’re a laughingstock. That said, firing Pam Bondi was the right move. The Epstein files were mishandled from the start. And the buck stops with her. Wish her nothing but the best in her next move. Everyone who knows her tells me she’s a good person.

Cities and counties could have more money in their pockets if they cracked down on invalid tax exemptions. Local Insights Founder @cjblain10 speaks with host @bradswail about an example of an exemption that should have ended.

Check out this interview! Nobody asks better questions on public policy issues than @bradswail!

NEW EPISODE: Host @bradswail sits down with @MarcALevin, Chief Policy Counsel at the @CouncilonCJ, for a wide-ranging conversation about where criminal justice reform stands in Texas today — and what lawmakers should be focused on next. They explore recent reforms from the 89th Texas Legislature, including expanded pretrial funding, parole process changes through the Sunset review of TDCJ, and the constitutional amendment updating bail rules. Levin also discusses why plea bargaining deserves more scrutiny, how better data could help policymakers compare sentences and outcomes across counties, and why transparency matters if Texas wants to know whether its justice system is truly working. Levin makes the case that Texas has already shown it can lower both crime and incarceration at the same time — but only if lawmakers keep focusing on reforms that are practical, measurable, and rooted in outcomes rather than rhetoric.

Some of America's formerly booming economic regions struggled to keep up with emerging technologies, while others failed to plan for housing and transportation. Former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros speaks with host @bradswail about cautionary tales for Texas to avoid.

Is it really a good idea to ban institutional homebuyers? Local Insights Founder @cjblain10 speaks with host @bradswail about what "institutional investors" can actually look like.

@BlakeBednarz She was talking about Blake Neff

Key metrics that Texas must track for success: @AJRodriguez2036, Executive Vice President at @Texas2036, speaks with host @bradswail about the critical nature of water infrastructure and transportation efficiency.

@brotherwesmess @dbongino @catturd2 @RepThomasMassie @RonPaul Umm.. Obama ended Iraq and Biden ended Afghanistan. We are closer to nuclear conflict because of the war. So doesn’t seem like he is too concerned with it.

@MSearleATX @dbongino @catturd2 @RepThomasMassie @RonPaul Trump did what Ron Paul and Rand Paul never could. He ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Props? Trump also is realistic about global nuclear security. Paul and Massie would let us get burnt by the nuclear fire. They're overly ideologues, and not realistic enough.

Tom Massie is a shameless fraud. Thanks, and have a great day.

@Ibrewlieve @JackPosobiec @zerohedge I would imagine a lot do. Not every one. But to dismiss this as a nothing-burger seems a bit strange. I bet the prosecution didn’t say “oh, well. No big deal.”

@MSearleATX @JackPosobiec @zerohedge How so? Do you think every murder case has a bullet tied to a gun in order to get a chance to get a conviction.

Bullet Used in Charlie Kirk Murder Doesn't Match Alleged Weapon, Defense Claims zerohedge.com/political/bull…

@PBDsPodcast @patrickbetdavid Seriously? Seriously? Evidence you have run out of arguments

🚨 @patrickbetdavid breaks down the reality of the Iranian regime. It’s a regime that is very comfortable with killing 30,000 to 100,000 of its own people.

@JackPosobiec @zerohedge I see lots of people using this line. Either way, if true, it’s still a major blow to the prosecution. They can’t match the bullet to the gun. Kind of important

@zerohedge That’s not what they claimed. They claimed it couldn’t be matched to any weapon bc it fragmented

@dbongino @catturd2 He almost single-handedly passed a bill that was wildly popular with Americans with opposition and threats from the President, House and Senate leadership, and a large swath of connected donors. Show me another member who has done that on any issue. Thanks. Have a great evening

Tom Massie enjoys being ignorant about issues he bloviates about on X. It’s how he avoids having to actually do anything. Thanks, have a great evening.

Ok. Have you looked out a window recently? Scrolled your X feed? I am pretty sure we are engaged in a regime change war in the Middle East right now which just so happens to be in the country that was at the top of the neocons list.. As for team player. Good. No honor in teaming up with people to protect pedophiles and start stupid wars

@MSearleATX @dbongino @catturd2 @RepThomasMassie @RonPaul Trump is by far not a neocon. Massie is not a team player.

Texas has the potential to become the "premiere destination" in the United States, says former Secretary of HUD @henrygcisneros. #txgrowth #txlege Want to know how can Texas get there? Find out in our latest episode of "The Future of Texas" 👉 bit.ly/4sKOObO

As part of the Future of Texas series in partnership with Texas 2036, this episode explores how rapid population growth is reshaping the state — and what it will take to manage that growth successfully over the next decade. In this episode of the @TXTalksPodcast, host @bradswail is joined by @henrygcisneros, former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and former mayor of San Antonio, and @AJRodriguez2036, Executive Vice President at @Texas2036, for a deep dive into the rise of Texas “mega regions” — particularly the fast-growing Austin–San Antonio corridor. Texas is at a pivotal moment. With the right planning, coordination, and investment, it could become one of the most dynamic economic regions in the world — but failure to act could lead to congestion, affordability crises, and missed opportunity.
