Lack of housing abundance is a killer, but that word "cities" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Clearly the article is citing municipalities suburbs, etc (like, there are probably 40 alone in the Bay Area). It's not 242 "cities" in the sese of entire metros.

I strongly suspect that Trump would have abandoned Ukraine to Putin, too, if he was in power in 2022. The only reason Ukraine is still standing is because Joe Biden and the USA stood with Ukraine at the start of the war and helped them to develop their defence capacity.

True for 29-year old Giannis at 98% peak. Far less certain for a 32 year old Giannis w/ mounting soft tissue issues. Oh, and he could bolt next summer anyway: no way to legally bind him to stay long term. And in that case Boston would be cooked (massively depleted draft capital).

I wish progressives would lose their obsession about free "public" college. There's no valid policy rationale to privilege public sector colleges over private ones. Better idea: pay the tuition for ANY school (public/private/trade) that can hold tution under a certain amount.

Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire. Let’s make sure he’s also the last.

Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. @BernieSanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him. In one year, it could fund: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

"Europeans coming to America for the World Cup are shocked by our prosperity." Translation: Terminally online Euro-poseurs trying to juice engagement are "shocked by our prosperity." Y'all really think this is stuff is genuine? Seems unlikely.

No, there is another way that will work for the next 75 years and its the same thing they did in 1983 - and one more step. Raise retirement age gradually over decades, raise the SSN tax by 2% - split by employer/employee, and... remove the wage cap. That fixes shit until 2100.

I don't think Graham Platner actually "is a Nazi" - i.e., someone who supports the goals of the German NSDAP political party. I think he is a former alcoholic mercenary, who got one of the most famous Nazi symbols as a tattoo to show he is a "killer," and is currently struggling with giant infidelity and woman-abuse scandals. Watching lib-fem type friends passionately support him is thus, still, very funny.

I want my friends/family to exhibit good character. I hope I do so myself. Indeed, I'd prefer my elected officials do the same. But giving another Senate majority to MAGA would be a disaster for the country. Platner's dating history and body art are irrelevant to the above.

Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery.
