Urgent and important: Denver city government is considering a dramatic scale-back of its measure legalizing more affordable and sustainable housing types. This scaleback is harmful and unnecessary. A clear majority of Denver voters, 63%, support this measure. 1/x

Women built MAHA. “I believe if these women are ignored, we’re going to lose the midterms, and I believe we will lose 2028,” podcaster Alex Clark says. Are MAGA Bros who’ve coopted MAHA going to fumble it? w/@thefern.org

Forget regulating food—manly MAHA cares about meat, testosterone, and erectile dysfunction.

If you've spent your whole life going hiking, driving a Prius and having a beautiful garden in the 'burbs, it's horrifying to think that the guy who takes the train and lives in a steel tower is doing a better job of saving the planet than you.

A major housing bill that would discourage building rental homes “reflects a peculiar type of American populism that combines a right-wing fetish for suburbia’s homeowner society with a left-wing distrust of investment capital,” Henry Grabar argues.

Western carmakers are retreating from EVs just as oil hits $100 a barrel. The parallels with Detroit in the 1980s are striking. They ignored fuel-efficient Japanese cars. Now they’re ignoring Chinese EVs. BYD just unveiled 600-mile range and 250 miles of charge in 5 minutes.

A lot of pro-housing advocacy has pivoted to the state level, but implementing citywide zoning changes can still help get more housing built, like City of Yes in NYC. So exciting to see a new ballot measure in the works in Denver to legalize more transit oriented development:

There are ample professional disincentives to spilling the inner workings of a court; even misconduct is rarely disclosed. Only reason to demand NDAs is if the Justices are engaging in conduct so egregious that the legal profession would recognize the need for court employees to disclose it.
