Because I’m not about to send cash to a rando who’s posing as a desperate person (profiting off of desperation). This is plainly obvious. Do you just prefer casting yourself as naive?

Upzoning is a much needed step, but the truth is that more housing will only be added when feasibility rents are met by the market. We need a much deeper understanding of the costs of providing infill housing (2-6 units) and make our policies go in the direction of meeting the developer.

Congratulations, North Carolina. You’re on your own and your FEMA request is “not warranted.” Read ⬇️
The Honorable Josh Stein Governor of North Carolina
20301 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699
Dear Governor Stein:
This is in response to your April 25, 2025, appeal of the denial of your request for an extension to the cost share waiver under major disaster FEMA-4827-DR that was declared on September 28, 2024, due to Tropical Storm Helene. You specifically requested an extension of the 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance for an additional 180 days.
After a careful and thorough review of all the information available, including that contained in your initial request for a cost share adjustment and appeal, we have concluded that an extension of the 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance for an additional 180 days under major disaster declaration FEMA-4827-DR is not warranted.

Here's a picture that a @kuow.org photographer took in Seattle yesterday, showing the ICE officers masked up in the hallways as they waited to arrest people coming out of their hearings.
ICE agents at Seattle courthouse arrest people whose deportation hearings are dismissed

The photo shows two men in the foreground wearing camo baseball caps and with neck gaiters pulled up to cover everything but their eyes. They are in plain clothes. Three other men are seen in the background, all wearing surgical masks. One has a hoodie entirely up so that only his eyes are visible. All are standing around looking suspiciously cop-like.

House budget bill effectively kills US clean energy boom
The House budget bill that narrowly passed in an early morning vote on Thursday would effectively put the brakes on a clean energy production boom in the United States spurred by tax credits enacted in 2022.

Of the 196 active grants that NSF just terminated, I count 16 specifically focused on quantum research -- a stated priority of the Trump admin amid its so-called reorganization of NSF. Except this cutting-edge research happens to involve Harvard, so no more NSF funding. 🇺🇸
