it’s so cool how most LA politicians wake up in the morning and are like “how can I make it harder to build housing today”
Our only hope to make LA a well-run, pro-housing city is electing Nithya Raman as mayor
Blue MAGA's days of deciding primaries are over. Can't wait for them to realize this come June.
They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years
It's the wrong question to ask
And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in
This -- not new natural gas pipelines -- is what's going to rescue New England's energy system & bring down bills.
Unfunded inclusionary zoning is bad policy that worsens the problem it’s supposed to help fix.
It trades broad housing affordability for a handful of means tested homes for lottery winners that make planners and policy makers feel good about themselves.
Abolish it entirely, everywhere, now.
The New Deal brought power to the American South, gave my grandfather a job with the CCC (which is how he met my grandmother), and established the TVA where my mom worked until she retired, but please, do tell me how terrible FDR was.
If this were an ebike, the community would be really upset.
this kind of shit is why AOC is going to be an apex predator in the primary.
Has anyone told the Baileys about this
leftists are my greatest adversary because they are destroying america destroying america or being rude to you online? being rude to me online

It’s one instance of voters actually paying attention enough to actual reality and changing their views accordingly
Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices
And again, I do not care about Hasan Piker and am not trying to defend him. I think he’s a 2026 Howard Stern shock jock who says stupid things.
But centrists are focusing on him precisely because they can’t justify their own positions on Israel anymore and need to find targets to go after.
The conclusion we should actually be reaching is that there is precious little worth investing in in rural America and we should build up our actually productive and innovative areas, so we can grow our way out the worst debt burden since the aftermath of WW2.
Like... I'm sorry, but to win future elections, you need a good chunk of the people who sat out in 2016 or 2024 to vote for you, and I just don't think that sneering at them and saying it's their fault that things are the way they are right now is going to win them over, even if you truly believe it
The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.
Yeah, man, most of those people you’re describing voted for Hillary and Kamala in spite of mild disagreements. But thanks for throwing us under the bus.
This is lib bait and it's NOT calling it like it is. It's giving a pass to bad campaigning and blaming voters in a state that was very clearly going to lose, those campaigns had been warned, and they didn't listen.
Whenever I encounter someone who believes in using the Oxford comma, I find myself encouraged, delighted, and hopeful.

this is very much not a new phenomenon, nor does it have much of anything to do with 'modern dating'
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
You know Democrats are bad at politics when the greatest predictor for someone voting often and voting Democratic is college education and they refuse to make it free.
i'm pretty sure this is the literal nightmare of every suburban republican
its an old one of mine but still a banger
We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.
I find it very funny that bluesky takes more issue with Planter's tattoo than with Mills vocal, ongoing, support for apartheid and it's absolutely an indicator of how cursed this place is going to get during the presidential primary.
