Yes an important and under appreciated insight. It’s much easier to see a small amount of housing construction and blame it for price inflation than it is to see a massive absence of housing construction

Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.

This is what a holocaust looks like.

MADDOW: “Williamson County still has a Confederate flag on their county seal — but they’ll have JUST the right size of a slice of Black voters in MEMPHIS to make sure they can never elect a member of Congress of their choosing again… this really is Jim Crow 2.0.”

They wiped out medical workers in Gaza. Now they're wiping out medical workers in Lebanon. And much of the Western media doesn't appear to consider it worthy of headline news.

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

The US government already has a ballroom just down the street. The Andrew Mellon Auditorium is less than a mile away from the White House is beautiful and accommodates more people than the new ballroom will and is owned by the U.S. Government. via Shelia Earl

Many bus routes in LA run so frequently, even on weekends. The longest I ever waited for a bus was about 20 mins. Here in Rhode Island, if you miss the Route 21 bus to Warwick, you’ll have to wait an hour for the next one. Miss the Route 33 to Riverside? Another 40-min. wait.😞

That sucks. Wish the government spent that $25 billion on that instead of bombing Iran.

This is why thousands of Vietnam vets despise trump. A draft dodging coward who builds monuments to himself, not to our nation’s heroes who died for this country. This monument to a spineless draft evader cannot be built

The Israel Defense Force has confirmed the authenticity of a photo showing an Israeli Soldier smashing a statue of Jesus Christ in Southern Lebanon, adding that “appropriate measures will be taken against those involved” under the IDF Northern Command.

At a middle school basketball game in Southwest Virginia the opposing team showed up to their opponent’s Gym and waved Confederate flags while yelling racial slurs. The home team has mostly black players on it. Remember these are just middle schoolers doing this crap!

Way more Dems than Golden want to continue this war. But they know it's politically toxic to vote for this war. So Dem leadership gets Golden to be the one vote to make sure this fails. He's not running for re-election, so he has nothing to lose. That's how this works.

rich people getting tattoo removal is one of the biggest cultural rugpulls of all time

It’s not about the number of US missiles, it’s about the number of Chinese missiles. And the situation is much worse than being unprepared to defend Taiwan. The US cannot defend its entire position in Asia. From Singapore to Guam, from Darwin to Okinawa, none of these bases are any more survivable than the ones in the gulf. In general, US bases anywhere near a great missile power can no longer be defended. The implications are drastic. It’s time to wrap up the empire in Eurasia and withdraw our defense perimeter to the western hemisphere.

Trump’s Bureau of Land Management is once again trying to fast-track decisions that impact Chaco Canyon, a 1,000 year-old sacred cultural and historical site, with an outrageously short public comment period. They think we aren’t paying attention. BLM plans to release a Draft Environmental Assessment in the coming months, followed by just 14 days for public input. 14 days to save a 1,000 year old heritage site? Follow for more updates and when the public comment period will start. Let’s keep fighting to protect Chaco.

There's this trope in America that well, Europe has high speed trains but we have the interstate system and airports and that's superior! Except Europe has both better freeways and airports, and airfare is much cheaper there than in the US. We're just getting screwed.

Congratulations to our partners at @SiemensMobility for cutting the ribbon on their new rail manufacturing facility in Lexington, NC, where Amtrak's new Airo trains will be built in addition to the existing Sacramento, CA facility.
