reckless and shortsighted leadership from MoCo council and, always, @Marc_Elrich The MCPS budget is collapsing because of this anti growth nonsense
Today, Montgomery County is finally taking action on data centers that our residents have demanded. I'm glad County Executive Elrich and colleagues now support my proposal for a six-month pause on data centers. I didn't wait until days before an election to do what was right.

Loudon county remains a lovely place with falling tax burden and improving services thanks in part to data centers … and Montgomery County needs a moratorium and studies? Wrong direction here wjla.com/news/local/loudoun-…
Thoughtful policymaking matters. This six-month pause gives us the opportunity to develop a responsible framework for data centers that addresses energy use, water resources, community impacts and environmental concerns while protecting Montgomery County residents and ratepayers.

Look at these sweet people from Kansas who went out of their way to try to make the Algerian team feel welcome. White pill for the day.
🗣️ “I want to say thank you to Algeria for choosing Lawrence, Kansas.” 🇺🇸 The locals in USA are all getting behind Algeria. 🇩🇿

Petition to make this Kansas City's official motto: "In the middle of the east and west, and Mexico and Canada. Bigger than you thought."
Australian Santi Brunet is in Kansas City for FIFA’s 2026 World Cup. "I saw it as kinda a center place, like looking at the map, Kansas City is pretty much in the middle of the east and west, and Mexico and Canada," Brunet said. "It’s bigger than I thought." KSHB’s Ryan Gamboa hung out with Santi and others on Sunday as World Cup fever continues to build in Kansas City. Read Ryan’s report: ⬇️ kshb.com/sports/world-cup/wo…

Pharma has really delivered miracles the last several years—it will be interesting to see how this impacts our health policy debates going forward.
Eli Lilly has done it. They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol. That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife - Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson - The assassination of Charlie Kirk Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all. The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

It's a lonely position sometimes but.... Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan are all good guys who we should defend. Because freedom from obliteration is the first freedom.

Good read on the impact of massive supply of new apartments in Austin. Bottom line: New "luxury" apartment construction benefits ALL renters with lower rents and increased availability. Build MORE of everything, not just Affordable Housing alone.

Inspiration from another progressive hamlet on the east coast - perhaps Takoma Park could copy a page here in the effort to address our decades-old housing crisis @TakomaParkMD @talisha_searcy
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Cambridge got it done! One day thousands of families will be living here, spending less of their budget on rent, and few of them will realize it never would have happened but for the leadership and persistence of @realBurhanAzeem.

As usual, the clearest explanation of a messy health care reality comes from Matt
Apropos of the ongoing conversation about health care administrative costs, resharing my testimony to Senate Budget on the administrative costs generated by provider-payer interactions and how policymakers could reduce them. Four main points:

At the same time, the traditional program has stayed flat or even declined in generosity. Medigap, the inefficient stopgap for high cost sharing in the traditional program, is uncompetitive with MA especially because it is not guaranteed to be available when needed.

Improving the traditional program is just as important as fixing incentives in MA

I’ve been highly critical of Mike Johnson’s fecklessness on Ukraine aid, so credit where credit is due. If his speakership ends next week—and it very well might—Mike Johnson will always have this moment right here. Everyone should watch this.

“There’s not a chance in hell I would incentivize low-wage jobs to come to Montgomery County." What a horrific, classist quote from the Montgomery County Republican Party Chair. Just kidding! It's from "progressive" county executive Marc Elrich.
