El Paso's city council voted yesteday to nominate the city for the Pentagon's 'next great american base' competition and try to bring a new base to town

But some council members opposed, saying if a company was coming to town and it's leader (Hegseth) said stuff like 'no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps' they wouldn't be interested in doing business with that company

Unfortunately, homelessness isn’t really a health insurance problem. Many are already on Medicaid or aren’t in the ‘coverage gap’ that would be helped by this and there isn’t really a magic pill for most of the issues 😔

But I do hope they can all work together on institutionalization and mental health facility funding

If you want to see fewer mentally ill people on the streets of Austin, you should definitely urge your state legislators to expand Medicaid. Something for @GinaHinojosaTX to say...

Next council meeting, Austin city council will vote to make social service providers abide by the city's lobbying rules

Good! BUT they are also trying to slip in this change. Looks like it would greatly shrink the 'No Lobbying Period' and allow lobbying while an active solicitation is open up until the responses are due.
