Sen. Mike "Tin Foil Hat" Fesi believes that nefarious actors can control the weather. He's also co-authored a bill that would ban water fluoridation: bit.ly/4iXorug What's next? A bill to ban alien abductions within 300 yds of a school? So embarrassing. #lalege

Really good night for Dems. Rs passed the WI voter ID amendment, but it didn't - as they hoped - transform turnout for Schimel. Ds hold WI court, hold WI superintendent of public instruction, flip a number of mayoral offices in IL. Rs hold FL House seats but margin down by half since 2024.

“You can only build housing if you build it to extremely onerous and expensive environmental standards and also you can’t charge rents high enough to cover the cost of construction” is just NIMBYism in Birkenstocks and polar fleece.

Once again, "we should raise tariffs on all goods to insane levels" is one of Trump's only consistent econ policies, but everyone with basic knowledge knows that's a moronic idea, which leads to Trump staffers repeatedly sanewashing it, only for Trump to go "no I want the insane version"

If you live in a Blue State, the most important thing you can do individually for America is get on your city council and focus entirely on building more housing. Many people in Red States will find their lives untenable very soon and need somewhere to flee to.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.
