@ZurcHigh The US military has been planning this for 46 years. No plan?

Facts!
There are several signs that the planning for the war on Iran was half assed by the executive branch leadership.
Pete Hegseth talks a good game with his makeup on, but he’s an idiot.
Robert Clark@RobertClark62
Requirements for stuff like this are *normally* identified during the pre-war planning process. That this didn't happen against a widely known threat is yet another indicator of a truncated, half-ass planning process for EPIC FURY.

@data_atx I have a better idea... let's do an audit first, then and only then demonstrate to the tax payers that you have to raise taxes. Lazy lazy lazy.
English
Austin councilman Chito Vela comes out in favor of raising taxes to the maximum allowed by state law saying the city faces 'serious financial challenges'
He posted this the same day that he voted to approve a $1.8 million dollar art purchase for a maintenance garage 🤦

@CoxHerb ...but don't take my word for it. Woke is broke and has gutted the Democratic party, you know the one that is needed to oppose Trump. I see what you're opposed to, but not what you're for.
English
Again, you are only listening to the far right wing nut Christian Nationalist lies about public schools with zero facts to back them up.
Hang in there buddy.
You’ll be ok.
Bless your heart!

Voting?
You mean the Reps that were literally bought by Yass from Pennsylvania?
Texans should have been allowed to vote on vouchers but they knew how wildly unpopular they were so we weren’t allowed to vote.
And NONE of the schools I served in for 29 years promoted that crap.
Steve Joyner@smjoyner
@CoxHerb They are weary of educators promoting dei, critical race theory transgenderism. They are sick of this crap and don't want it in their schools. They're voting with their feet and you can't stand it.

@data_atx @RyanAlter What is clear to me is that our twat waffle of a district attorney continues to release homeless repeat offenders over and over. This dancing around a solution shows no critical thinking going on in city government. The solution is institutions for the criminally insane
English
Update on this: @RyanAlter proposed some amendments to the homeless plan yesterday around KPIs on beds
But I don’t think it had this high level KPI on number of homeless he is asking for here
Mr. Alter, are we still working on getting this as a North Star metric for the dept?
ATX data@data_atx
Austin councilman @RyanAlter presses the homelessness director to set a goal on how may homeless people will be on the streets 1 and 5 years from now The homeless dept recently released their 26-27 plan which included dozens of KPIs but didn’t include this obvious metric

@smjoyner Sucked how exactly?
Based on the made up STAAR Tests written a grade and a half above grade level?
Those tests are designed to show some public schools are failing.
Do any private schools administer the STAAR Tests?
Nope.
So how do you know for sure?
Just spewing more lies.
English
Maybe, and I’m spitballin’ here, but MAYBE y’all shouldn’t have shoved vouchers down our throats.
MAYBE all Texans should have had an opportunity to vote for this scam.
We all KNEW this was gonna happen.
Where were you with this fake outrage BEFORE vouchers got passed MQS? Moron.

A Dallas-area Islamic school that apparently received funding from Iran is now being allowed to participate in Texas' new school choice program. Ties to Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and radical Islamic teachings are hard-wired into the school's staff. texasscorecard.com/state/iranian-…

@mbrown5252 @CoxHerb Sucks when educators promote dei, critical race theory and transgenderism. Parents are sick of this crap and are voting with their feet.
English
Wow…just, wow.
This kind of rhetoric would not be tolerated by the GOP.
Guess it’s just a one way street, huh. Figures.
Pastors for Children@pastors4txkids
We know @jamestalarico well. He is a good friend, a committed Christian, and a fine pastor. This kind of hate speech is unacceptable. Especially from a minister. @JohnCornyn & @KenPaxtonTX— not to mention @PeteHegseth—must condemn it now. huffpost.com/entry/pete-heg…

They’re terrified that @jamestalarico is gonna win this thing …

NYT reporting that President Donald Trump and the RNC "are strongly considering Dallas as the site of an unusual midterm convention later this year, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions." Story by @ShaneGoldmacher nytimes.com/2026/03/24/us/…

@ShaneAHardin Maybe your schools won't suck so bad with the change from the democratic schills.

When are people going to realize it’s all about the elites? In Texas and on the national level.
They give you culture war sound bites to keep you happy.
✪ Evil Te𝕏an ✪@vileTexan
Why should I vote for any Republican in the State of Texas? Serious question. Republicans have held Texas for 30 years, and what have we gotten? Taken over by Illegals. Taken over by Indians. Taken over by Muslims. Taken over by Big Tech. Taken over by Californians. We've all but lost the entire DFW metro area. Plano is fucking gone. They're 27% foreign born now. I'm shocked they aren't riding camels at the Stockyards yet. Republicans do just enough to keep everybody placated, meanwhile we're boiling frogs over here. Do we have to start voting in retards to finally wake everybody up enough so we can do something about this? We can't go on like this another 30 years. We need to come up with a plan to Save Texas.

Trump will spin it as a win, & most in media will give him a pass, but make no mistake, Trump went to war w/o justification, strategy, or purpose. 13 Americans have died. The economy is badly harmed. Trump is not just a disaster of a human being. He is dangerously incompetent.
English
Four counties. Four conventions. Thousands of Texans.
We hit the road this weekend talking about what’s possible: strong public schools, affordable healthcare, clean water, and homes Texans can actually afford.
It’s time for change!

Calls for change at the Travis County District Attorney's Office are mounting as fallout continues over allegations that the office hid evidence in a felony case against an Austin police officer.

Extremely melodic. It’s definitely one of the top, best guitar solos of all time

@GeneBryant2 Public education should suck so bad. Or else lose students.

It has been crystal clear that what the voucherphiles of Texas want is not so much actual school choice as much as it is a way to funnel taxpayer dollars to private Christian schools. curmudgucation.substack.com/p/tx-a-new-cen…
