Not one person who will be losing their health care will give one shit about a the existence of a vote.

People care about outcomes, not process.

An incomplete list of cities where housing abundance was a major campaign issue & pro-housing candidates held or expanded majorities:
- Bozeman, MT
- Cambridge, MA
- Durham, NC
- Kalispell, MT
- Littleton, CO
- Manchester, NH
- Missoula, MT
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Seattle, WA
- Wilmington, NC

💪

The focus on demolishing the Rose Garden and the East Wing of the White House *may* have been a mistake.

Abigail Spanberger, Mikie Sherrill, Zohran Mamdani all ran on making homes more affordable.

Pittsburgh, Durham, Charlotte Mayoral races too.

Addressing the housing shortage is key to electoral success.

Virginia, New Jersey, New York City, Georgia, Pittsburgh.

Trump is raising Americans’ energy bills, but states can fight back State leadership on clean energy can address rising electricity costs

Trump is raising American’s electrical costs by his corrupt war on clean energy, but we can fight back with state action. Here’s how; www.theargumentmag.com/p/trump-is-r...

History!

Gavin Newsom signs SB 79, a landmark law to build more homes near public transit!

The Biggest Myth About the YIMBY Movement There’s nothing centrist or conservative about the push to lower housing costs.

YIMBY is progressive, populist and antitrust. Not centrist. Not Reaganite.

This is an excellent article that extensively and approvingly quotes former WA Governor Jay Inslee - who won three consecutive elections as governor, a feat no other WA Dem has achieved. People ought to listen to him!

We are all better off that my former boss @jeff-merkley.bsky.social is running to serve another term in the United States Senate. A champion for working people, our environment, and our democracy.

"Let's just say that they do something that's so Alaska-specific just to, quote, 'get me, then you have a nationwide system that doesn't work. That then comes crashing down and Alaska's not able to kind of keep it together on its own." t.co/zr0QSKih0Y

‘Polar Payoff’ in GOP health care bill would give Alaska a sweet deal Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and other lawmakers head to the Senate on July 13 for a meeting on the revised Republican health care bill, which has been under attack from within the party, including ...

“Think about it: If you had subsidy changes that only affect Alaska, but don’t do anything with regards to the impact of Medicaid cuts, I don’t see how that can help the balance here.” - Lisa Murkowski in JULY 2017 www.yahoo.com/news/polar-p...

My dad just asked me via WhatsApp if I’ve seen any of these @ZohranKMamdani videos. Hell yes.

Mabrouk @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. You ran an incredible campaign my habibi

AIPAC is running twitter ads for Trump

I agree

Love the latest Olive Garden promotion

Talking about process a great way not to piss anyone off at caucus lunch, but it’s not leadership.

Talking about process and institutions instead of values is why we are losing.

One if by land
Two if by sea
We’re coming by ferry
For democracy

Only in Washington state do we protest Kings on ferries.

'No Kings' day in Seattle begins with protest on the Bainbridge island ferry Hundreds boarded the 10:25 a.m. ferry from Bainbridge Island to Seattle on Saturday morning to demonstrate — one of many "No Kings" protests held Saturday.

“Inslee called the unusual demonstration inspiring, saying “the only king” he recognizes is “Neptune, king of the sea.”

Netanyahu knows Trump will do *nothing* to stop him. And many will die and suffer because of it.

The Oklahoma City Thunder stole the Seattle SuperSonics, are owned by fracking magnates, and are forever cursed until Seattle gets their team back. Thems the rules.

It’s important to remember the Oklahoma (city?) Thunder is not a team that should exist and nothing good should ever happen to them.

Leah is exactly right. Every time Trump rips up some environmental protection, he finds
another way to force dirty, expensive energy down our throats, this time keeping obsolete coal plants open nobody wants.

Love to see folks across the progressive coalition talking about reforming housing and parking laws. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/n...
