WE LOVE NAKOBE DEAN

CLEAR RECOVERY BABY

During Trump's 1st term, his budgets proposed devastating cuts, e.g. eliminating all fed funding for:
—Long-distance Amtrak
—New transit projects
—CDBG
—HOME

He couldn't kill those programs because Congress appropriated funds. If Supreme Court allows impoundment, Trump could unilaterally kill them.

Defense attorney Charles Gibbs is ‘seriously considering’ running for Philadelphia DA, sources say Charles Gibbs works for the high-profile defense firm McMonagle Perri, which frequently represents Philadelphia police officers accused of misconduct.

I’m less harsh on the incumbent DA as I have been in years prior, but I do think he should get a real primary challenger. I’m skeptical that Gibbs is a good fit for this though, but I hope we see a real race this time around www.inquirer.com/politics/cha...

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

San Fran elections give me some very cautious optimism but they haven’t gone far enough. NYC Dems seem to still seem to still not be getting the gravity of the situation and the national implications their failures will have

The people are voting with their feet, and they increasingly prefer Ron Desantis’ & Greg Abbots America to Kathy Hochul’s and Gavin Newsom’s.

The Democrats Are Committing Partycide In the future, even winning the former “Blue Wall” states won’t be enough for the party’s presidential nominees.

I’m glad to see the coverage of NY and CA dems shortcomings are being talked about. National dems need to have a grown up conversation with the two state parties, or else risk both states becoming electorally irrelevant just to please cranky NIMBYs www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

In spite of the housing affordability crisis over the past decade Philadelphia has decreased the area multi-family buildings are allowed substantially.

This map shows all lost multi-family zoning since 2015:

I love that Saquon, the actual POTUS, can have fun playing football again 🥹🥹🥹

okay so this is obviously a disaster but, unlike Gaetz or Hegseth, this one is pretty clearly just about paying off a favor. there’s a good chance he’ll be tossed under the bus in a year or less.

but it’s gonna be a really bad year.

I’d like to be!

My skepticism is just doubt that people are going to want to hang out between 8–10 lanes of traffic whizzing by

The renderings look nice but I’m still very skeptical this will get the foot traffic were being led to believe

I will die for my country Philadelphia and my president Saquon Barkley, go birds
