Housing takes up such a high percentage of my income. And my housing costs are in the bottom third of what is typical here.

Yes, I've watched it happen since Ronnie Reagan, they crash the Economy every single time and Federal debt skyrocked.
They can't govern and give trillions in Tax-cuts to Billionaires and we have to pay for their spending party.

Yeh, I wish, but call me back when he can't find a 34th MAGA senator to have his back.

Every knock, every conversation, and every voter reached brings us closer to winning the swing districts that will flip the House for Democrats in 2026.

ICE is now acting like a criminal gang because they know any wrongdoing will be pardoned. Why? Because he already pardoned hundreds of convicts who violently beat up law enforcement officers.

After age 50, I met and married the love of my life, published a book, had a major spiritual awakening, and got some work I liked.

The companies who choose the location for the cameras put them where there are abnormally low speed limits, to maximize fines (and their percentage). For example six-lane highways with a speed limit of 25 miles per hour, or exit ramps off expressways through industrial areas with no pedestrians.

Just reading some accounts of the apartment building raid in Chicago.

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass:

all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff

stop burning stuff for heat

stop burning stuff for make car go

stop burning stuff for power

we have the tools

1980's tax cuts for the rich meant there was a growing cadre of people with suddenly much higher take-home pay who could afford the more expensive houses. Prior to that, such homes would have been un-sellable. The consequent per capita reduction in available homes bid up the price for everyone else.

Monopoly capitalism tends toward the extreme and the bizarre in its quest for money and it's disregard for the people.
