While
@MayorAdler
was slashing Austin’s police budget by $150 million, he forgot to defund his own 3 officer security detail that taxpayers fund.

Nonprofit leaders across Austin are speaking out against what they call “destructive” tweets by Gov. Greg Abbott that appear to link violent crimes in Austin to homelessness.
According to witness testimony in House State Affairs Committee last night,
#ATX
is losing conferences because of the aggressive homeless population.
#txlege
At least four conferences were canceled in Austin because of the lack of a statewide mask mandate in Texas.
The cancellations have caused the Hilton Austin hotel to lose out on $350,000 of revenue, according to Austin Convention Enterprises.
I’ll always remember calling

stopped into a pre-service class of correctional officers and seminary students today to say a few encouraging words during his tour of the Darrington Unit!

Not since they turned the cameras off on Jeffrey Epstein’s cell have we lost such sight of the ball...
Don’t stop counting votes just because it’s 10 pm... 🇺🇸

The vote count should be representative of the community. So far, those early voting are not. They’re much, much older and much, much more Republican. Vote tonight, tomorrow or Saturday. Vote No on Prop B!
The media doesn’t want OUR elected officials telling us the truth.
China destroyed records and arrested the doctor who was trying to alert the world. Now, he’s dead.
So much for transparency,

Today I sent a letter to
@MayorAdler
about the growing crisis arising from the Austin Homeless policy.
Feces & used needles are piling up & residents are endangered.
If not fixed by Nov.1, I'll use State authority to protect Texans’ health & safety.

For the, “subscribe to your local paper, y’all” crowd:
This week,

reported Gov
@GregAbbott_TX
is being too calm and the “bright side” of the deadly corona virus is with biz shut down, our skies appear clear.
Just noticed,

out-raised her R primary opponents and D incumbent combined. I guess if you can complete a 140 mile IRONMAN competition, running for state rep isn’t too hard.

UPDATE: Fort Bend County has corrected their vote total entry to our site, which has since updated, for State Rep. District 26. Entry now mirrors their own County election results page.

I won’t name the consultant, but last week he texted me and said, “I hate elections.”
Tonight, while our three candidates are currently leading (knock on wood), I asked him, “Do you still hate elections?”
He said, “Nah, they’re alright.”

The man who wrote the new Texas voting bill SB7 —
@SenBryanHughes
— joined me on the show today. He tells me “This bill is not about 2020.“ I ask — why is it even necessary? **NOTE: Not a single case of voter fraud was found in his county in 2020.

Poli Sci professor (also faculty advisor to College Democrats) said it best, I have to spend my hour teaching you English because the English Dept spends their hour teaching you Political Science.
Breaking News: Gov. Andrew Cuomo is said to have fielded a $4 million offer on a book about the pandemic even as his aides helped obscure New York nursing home deaths.
Across the board, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all want voter approval before local govt can raise property taxes by more than 2.5%.
