The pullback in Austin home values has been so severe that it now trails the US in home price growth since March 2020.

Bizarre and troubling: the U.S. kills at sea without trial—but won't try to prosecute the survivors in open court.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has decided to repatriate two survivors of a deadly U.S. strike on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea rather than prosecute or hold them in military detention, people with knowledge of the matter said. https://t.co/YTpRT3lkxY

I would just emphasize that the economic benefits of new housing supply — more jobs, more customers for local businesses, a broader tax base — extend way beyond mechanical impacts on rent. https://t.co/j1zKcZWb7b

We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement represents. Those involved must immediately resign from

In the 1920s, the U.S. set immigration quotas which effectively stopped scientists from immigrating from Eastern and Southern Europe. The U.S. quickly fell behind in patenting and publishing in fields where these scientists worked. Don't kill the golden goose.

What an amazing admission. Republicans sued Biden—and went to the Supreme Court—for pressuring social media companies to censor content. This is...exactly that. So many people only care about the First Amendment when they aren't in power.
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago. The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk

I cheer the fragile peace that's descended (for now) on Gaza, just as I cheer the release of the hostages. But I will never cheer Hamas, a bunch of bloodthirsty theocratic sociopaths.
🚨BREAKING: Hamas militias have just announced they will carry out another round of public executions of a group of Palestinians tomorrow in Gaza City.

I don’t understand how any American can be ok with this way of reacting to suspicions of nonviolent crimes. Crimes that don’t even allege theft of property.
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

I’d like to congratulate @RyderCupEurope on their victory. Your team play the first few days was sensational. More importantly, I’d like to apologize for the rude and mean-spirited behavior from our American crowd at Bethpage. As a former player, Captain and as an American, I

Just unbelievable kindness and forgiveness. Like I said on the day of the terrible shooting, my LDS friends and neighbors show incredible Christlike virtue, and this is just further evidence. So marvelous.
This morning with our burned down church still smoldering and four saints murdered, members of the Church of Jesus Christ raised $60k for...checks notes...the shooter's wife and children. Most donations are anonymous. Each Christian comment will make you cry more than the last.

Latter-day Saints feel positively towards other Christian group in the US, but the reverse is not true. Very Christlike, I’d say.

If you hear that people have been shot and killed at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the church is on FIRE, and the first thing you say is "Mormons aren't Christian," maybe you're not living up to Christian ideal. And you're NOT the good person in this.
