A quirky Takoma Park needs quirky zoning Quirk thrives in the cracks–in the messy mix of uses, people, and incomes that make a place feel alive. The irony is that to preserve Takoma Park’s quirky character, we may have to break from the zoni...

Trump suck

Say what you want about @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, at least he's fucking doing something to protect democracy instead of performative bullshit.

This boomer couple would be hit with $700,000 tax bill if they sold their house Joel and Kathryn Friedman, both 71, were encouraged by President Donald Trump's remarks in support of eliminating the capital gains tax on home sales.

It's so unfair to make a $2M profit and have to pay $700k in taxes. Please help these poor people.

I've learned that every neighborhood that appears nice and safe is just one public works fuck up from turning into Gotham City.

Residents had concerns about "loss of available parking, lack of need, financial loss due to tree & landscaping removals, loss of environmental beauty & the 'natural feel' of the community, stranger danger, increased crime, littering, &, most of all, the worsening of stormwater flooding & erosion."

NIMBYs will say anything, even if there's zero evidence to support it.

NIMBY moron statement

Ok, Dan Creedon, show me where the experiment of single-family zoning created affordable housing? You can't buy a single family house in Arlington for under 800k and if so, it's in disrepair.

When "establishment Democrat" candidates win primaries, DSA claims corruption and then shits on the party.

When DSA candidates win primaries, they expect to be embraced.

And vice versa.

Can't the entire party stop this childish bullshit and just commit to supporting the nominee? Big Tent!!

Trump predicts Obama will start war with Iran back in 2013

Rep Morgan McGarvey (D-KY) jumps into Eric Saul's arms after hitting a triple.

Coaching the Dems in the Congressional Baseball Game is truly one of the coolest things I get to do.

I should have said "top" list. He'll probably run but I don't think he's up there with the others.

My "way too early" list of 2028 Democratic Presidential Candidates:

Wes Moore
Pete Buttigieg
Kamala Harris
Gavin Newsom
Gretchen Whitmer
Andy Beshear

And I'd be very happy with any of these being our next President.

It's wild that Takoma Park residents living next to the metro station are complaining about a high density development replacing the surface parking lot there. Their complaint? Not enough parking spaces. I guess these environmentalists need to drive 2 blocks? SMH

The tough man backed down like a little baby.

You know, GOP, you all could have impeached him. We gave you two opportunities.

The idiot actually started a trade war. WTAF

That's also a good idea. Give everybody 12,000 mi per year, and then start taxing each mile after that to create a housing fund. I guarantee they'll get creative, like carpool and take public transportation more.

If NIMBYs get to limit housing, can we also limit the number of cars per household? I mean traffic is the biggest complaint they make when opposing more housing, so why not just directly fix the issue causing the traffic?

Wait, I thought he was promoting electric vehicles in front of the White House yesterday?

Oh look, the government is helping Elon

Pretending to Be From Canada While on Vacation Now 25% More Expensive WASHINGTON, DC – Americans looking to escape international embarrassment by posing as Canadians abroad are now facing a major setback: a 25% tariff on all “I’m from Canada” …

“This is a human rights violation,” said Greg Thompson, an American tourist clutching a now-pricey ‘Toronto Moose Hockey Club’ hoodie in a Miami airport gift shop. “Without this, I’ll be forced to admit I’m from Ohio. Do you have any idea how humiliating that is?”
