The @RedLineParkway is at a pivotal moment, and it urgently needs your help. In 2016, when I first began exploring the completion of the 32-mile trail along the @CapMetroATX Red Line, one major step was essential. We are there now. 1/5

Why are Republicans so dependent on Big Government? Farmers, drivers, retirees. Don't they believe in getting a job and working hard? Seems kinda pathetic to beg for the government to pay for your life

Trump: "Only I can make this promise to you: If the Republicans win the House and Senate, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000"

Here’s an updated map of US states that don’t require front license plates. I still stand by every word of this thread.

This is fun! Let's do I-35. TxDOT is spending $8 billion to add 2 lanes to an existing highway. Daily traffic will go from 230k to 303k in 2045. So that's $108k per person. Instead, we could buy each of those 73,000 people that were going to use I-35 their own helicopter!

Incredible new article on Austin's light rail project from @_AustinCurrent Many good moments, but my favorite: The new ridership estimates are so bad and the costs so high we could buy every rider an Aston Martin instead 😂 austincurrent.org/2026/05/21…

The Wishbone Bridge is opening: ✅ 4 months early ✅ On-Budget As CM @PaigeForAustin pointed out, this project was only possible thanks to the 2020 Mobility Bond. With @austinmobility delivering record-time improvements, let’s keep the momentum with a 2026 bond!

The median wealth in the US is lower than in France.

France, once among Europe's most prosperous nations, is now said to have slipped into "third-world status" after new figures revealed it has firmly slid into the EU's "second tier". For the third consecutive year, the country's wealth per capita sits below the EU average and has now fallen beneath that of Cyprus, according to Eurostat data.
