@statesman You mean there is corruption in Austin? Come on now.

Years after voter approval, Austin still hasn’t delivered many bond-funded projects, raising concerns about delays, costs and public trust. statesman.com/news/local/art…

@Geiger_Capital @BillAckman In fairness, this policy aligns with stealing land from people who lost their home in a fire. There is consistency there.

The California wealth tax is not on income… It’s 5% of your net worth. It’s state seizure of private assets. This is now on the ballot and likely to pass. Realize where we are.

@AustinJustice Garza is a disaster. Do better ATX Voters.

Homicides in notoriously violent blue cities are dropping fast, but not so much in Austin. Compare homicides in the the five years pre-Covid vs post-Covid: - Baltimore: down 56% - San Francisco: down 49% - D.C.: down 7% - Memphis: down 3% - Austin: UP 32% DA José Garza took office January 2021. Every year of his tenure has had a higher homicide rate than any of the five years before he took office.

@realTwang2000 @matthewdmarsden @GregAbbott_TX I am in same boat, and wondering if this is just a Travis County thing. I am about to sell if I don’t get anywhere in Protest. My taxes have doubled in 7 years, which is not supposed to be able to happen.

I am in Travis County and the value of my house according to Zillow has dropped 35% since 2023. Regardless, Travis County has raised the value of my house every year even though my value drops on my house every year. Last year the value dropped $75,000 and Travis County raised the value $52,000. Yes my property taxes keep going up every year

Texas people...have you had your property tax go down at all in the past 5 years? I am sick of the BS @GregAbbott_TX is spinning on this. Something substantial needs to be done about cities hiking up the rates and wiping out any benefits of the homestead exemption.

@Rangers__Nation People need to step up. If you see someone hit or push a Woman, regardless of reason, put them in the ER. I sincerely hope those “Rangers Fans” are not from Texas.

Every angle of tonight’s fight at Globe Life

@pena4ATX @data_atx @austinreforms @Austin_Police The City Council and Garza are the problem; period.

Here is footage from last night’s shooting in East Austin. Austin cannot afford soft-on-crime leadership any longer. It’s time to get serious and make it clear that this kind of violence will not be tolerated. @data_atx @austinreforms @Austin_Police

"Blue cities are radical hellscapes that can't fix crime." Counterpoint: Baltimore. Baltimore had 334 murders in 2022. Last year it had 133, the lowest since 1977. The turning point was that voters defenestrated a Soros-backed prosecutor Marilyn Mosby who averaged 333 homicides a year across eight years and declined to use mandatory minimum sentences. (She was later convicted of mortgage fraud, so there's that too.) Her replacement, Ivan Bates, ran on the Democratic ticket with a simple message: repeat violent offenders belong in prison. Maryland law already allowed five years with no parole for convicted felons caught carrying a gun, but Mosby never used it. Bates used it a lot. In just two years, his office sent more than 2K repeat violent offenders to prison, double his predecessor's TOTAL. The city paired that with a precision intervention program that identified the small number of people driving most of the violence, which led to 631 arrests (94% haven't reoffended). Police also seized 2,480 firearms last year alone, including hundreds of ghost guns, while maintaining a 64% homicide clearance rate. When shooters know they'll get caught and actually prosecuted, behavior changes. Sandtown-Winchester, once the most violent neighborhoods in the city, just went a year without a killing! Carjackings (-51%) and robberies (-24%) are also down. Baltimore didn't change demographics, or its culture, its rules, or much of anything else in those years. It simply voted in a new Democratic prosecutor, who decided the city needed to finally put violent criminals in prison.

@RepJeffries You are so tone deaf. I sincerely hope the people of New Jersey do better, regardless of party.

America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress. Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6. There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day. Now is a time to unify.

@pmarca If ever there was proof of why we need #termlimits and a mandatory retirement age for professional Politicians.

Concerning.

@vikingzfanpage @NoFlagsFilm They are committed to rebuilding the trenches, and I am good with that. With that said, they need to focus on IOL today. They will be able to pickup a WR3 on the open market.

After having time to digest it, what are your thoughts on the #Vikings 1st round selection last night in Caleb Banks? 🎥: @NoFlagsFilm

@joeroganhq This is not a color thing. Clint Eastwood said it best, “We have raised a generation of pussies”. If you see someone do that to a girl, the reason is irrelevant, send them to the ER. Don’t hit a girl or woman, period.

15-year-old girl was body slammed in NYC because she wouldn't give this 14-year-old boy her phone number. Deeply upsetting to see.

@CalltoActivism Australia and New Zealand need help? Who knew.

Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing: “I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”

@aas_ker Hiking and Yoga in the sunshine.

without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression????

@HawkEmDownChris They would all be awesome, Winners Win.

Who would have the better career today? A) Michael Jordan B) Larry Bird C) Magic Johnson D) Scottie Pippen

@piersmorgan Good luck with that:-). Well, there are a few states we would like to return to you. Perhaps we can work a deal.

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States. Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

@fox7austin Here is a hint, go check the camps.

The Austin Police Department is asking the public for help identifying a person who is wanted in connection to an aggravated assault investigation. fox7austin.com/news/man-accus…

@joeroganhq So awesome, and if I were Ortega I might have realized this guy is going to school me.

When Max Holloway started to teach Brian Ortega how to throw a punch in a middle of their fight.

@DailyNorseman What is going to happen is we are going to have a great draft which will lead to us winning the Super Bowl this year. Disclaimer, I believe this every year at the Draft.

What's going to happen tonight? I don't know. Neither do you. And outside of the Raiders, neither does anyone else. But it's going to be fun all the same.
