This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Because the state uses half of our property taxes to fund rural areas and doesn't let us levy income taxes... Then they blame us for all their problems..
"How could they possibly not have enough money? If Austin is so rich, and taxes are so high, why is the state of public services so bleak?"

So you’re telling me that Austin could paint some more rainbow crosswalks and then the Governor will halt the plan to waist $6-10 billion to allow for more traffic on I-35 through the heart of Austin?
Sounds like a good deal. Let’s do this!

NEW: Barely a week after being repainted, the rainbow crosswalk in Montrose will be removed by Houston METRO, citing Greg Abbott and TXDOT's new directive. The crosswalk is a memorial to the LGBTQ+ community and to a fallen cyclist:
