Just an Austinite. Head of Developer Platform @Indeed by day, Texas political junkie by night. 🏳️🌈
Brandon Herrera @TheAKGuy calls Sen. @JohnCornyn “the Tony Gonzales of the U.S. Senate” at San Antonio campaign event. @KenPaxtonTX “is going to finish this RINO hunting venture and get John Cornyn out of the Senate & actually represent Texas the way it deserves,” he says.
Again, the gut take of most people seems to be "the makeup of CDs/reps should be close to the share both parties got for president." Instead, we're moving towards states giving 100% of the seats to whoever wins the majority of the prez vote. Congressional electoral college
"The president’s sons are backing a new drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon. Powerus, a drone roll-up company in West Palm Beach, is merging with a publicly traded GOLF-COURSE HOLDING COMPANY backed by the Trumps." wsj.com/politics/natio…

Timely and appropriate. The Biden census in 2020 robbed Florida of critical congressional seats and our significant growth justifies the need for mid-decade maps.
it's highway robbery for universities to charge you years and years of tuition fees and then not give you lifelong access to online academic databases via their library portal
BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel is expected to be fired from the Trump administration, a WH official tells POLITICO.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
