The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

BIG news: The California Democratic Party just endorsed @scottwiener.bsky.social’s landmark housing bill #SB79, which legalizes multifamily homes near major public transit statewide! This marks a major shift in state politics: California Dems are *finally* embracing a party that builds!

Let’s talk about driver solidarity: whenever there’s a news piece or social media post about a driver clearly at fault for hitting a pedestrian or cyclist, other drivers flood the comments to justify the driver’s actions and victim blame the person who’s been hit. Like clockwork. Why is the case?

Pre-2009, the number of 1st-time homebuyers roughly increased & declined in parallel with the number of housing units completed. Over past 15 years, that connection disappeared. Even though the # of housing units completed increased 2011-2024, the # of 1st-time homebuyers flatlined—then collapsed.

I feel like the renewables industry and all their lobbyists had the wool pulled over their eyes with this backdoor move to gut the tax credits via Treasury guidance on CODs. The most pessimistic version of how this turns out is about just as bad as the initial House bill, if not worse.

It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

But if you ask me, that signal, that weakness, explains more of their electoral problems than any of the more narrow poll-based "issues" over which they endlessly wring their hands. The problem is at the meta level, the *brand* level. It's a brand associated w/ equivocating weakness.
