2017: Austin spent $35 million on homelessness. 2,036 homeless counted.
2025: $118 million. 3,238 homeless.
Spending more than tripled and homelessness went up 59%.
If you service the homeless lifestyle, you will get more of it.
The NGOs that run this system get paid by the problem of homelessness, so they have no reason to end it -- in fact, their only incentive is to make sure the problem grows.
The NGOs end up increasing the number of homeless people they manage, because that’s the only way to increase their revenue! Incentives drive outcomes.
“Homeless” is a propaganda word used to describe people on the street who are mentally ill or severely addicted to drugs. The word implies that this is someone who fell a little behind on their mortgage payment and they’re one job offer away from getting back on their feet, which is obviously false if you’ve ever tried talking to a “homeless” person in SF, LA, NY, Austin or anywhere else.
The honest reality is that we need to bring back asylums for extreme mental illness or drug addiction for those who are a serious danger to themselves or others.

THEN: The Nazis euthanized 250,000 mentally ill people during WWII.
NOW: Canada will vote October 7 on whether to euthanize mentally ill people.
And they say we're Nazis.

In their zeal to overturn a reasonable ruling by the District Court the clowns on the Montana Supreme Court didn't even bother to check to the statutes that govern when ballots are printed. Genius at work. #mtpol

“Knowing that we were playing a man is a feeling that you can't explain to another person.”
NCAA softball player Kendall Kotzmacher describes walking onto the field and seeing a biological male athlete on the opposing team after working her entire life for the chance to compete at that level.
Kotzmacher says she stayed in the game because it was one of her final chances to play alongside her sister, and because her family traveled to watch them compete.
“Knowing there's nothing you can do about it is unimaginable.”

Hey at @BlissLlew maybe you could take some lessons from Florida? Instead of stealing a billion dollars to pay for pork projects and jacking up property taxes - maybe let’s reduce the size and scope of government? #mtpol #mtnews
Florida has reduced its budget four consecutive years even as inflation has persisted and population has grown.
And yet we continue to provide massive funding for transportation, Everglades restoration, law enforcement, etc.
Don't tell me it can’t done.

Probably the new role model for the Montana Supreme Court
A Wisconsin judge was convicted of a felony-- hiding a criminal accused of domestic assault from immigration enforcement. Bar license revoked? No, not even suspended, per 5-2 Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling. The felonious judge's law license is "active" and in "good standing"

You cannot oversell the impact of what @TrumpAccounts will mean for this generation of kids. Thanks to the hard work and vision of @POTUS and @altcap we are minting a generation of millionaires invested in the American economy from day 1.
Thx Vlad. The movement is building. Every child forevermore gets an acct at birth - a shareholder & direct owner in the upside of American capitalism. $50k at 18, $175k at 30, $1 M at 55 very achievable when start at birth & save a little. 💰🇺🇸🚀 @TrumpAccounts @MichaelDell

Not a single “journalist” in Montana has covered the multiple lawsuits against the Supreme Court for blocking the release of basic public records. But here they are patting themselves on the back for a story about fish while ignoring the Court blatantly violating the Constitution. So weird that public faith in the media is at all time lows. #mtpol #mtnews
MT PBS journalist Anna Rau and Bozeman attorney Kyle Nelson honored as MT FOI champions: Rau for her work opening records showing harmful fish contamination levels in MT, and Nelson for unsealing records in Anaconda quadruple homicide and keeping legislative records open.

Remember when Republicans warned about death panels under Obamacare? Not that far off

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.
3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

Interesting. Sam Forstag went back and deleted the endorsements he sought and received from Democratic Socialists during the primary.
I’ve seen a lot of MSM coverage about R websites pivoting to the general. Will the media also cover this phenomenon for Dems?

Ghosting on his girl AOC.
🚨Socialist lobbyist @SamForstag scrubbed @BernieSanders and @AOC from his website.🚨
The same guy who lobbied for men in girls' sports and kid sex-change bills is now playing Montana cowboy.
You can scrub the Squad. You can’t scrub the slime.

The polling composite of individual Senate races shows no particular shift towards Democrats since Labor Day.
House composite shows a shift towards Republicans, but it's noisier.
