Yes. We launched the bipartisian YIMBY caucus today and 3 of the co-chairs are Republicans. I’m hopeful there can be some movement there.

Mace covered her house with fake antifa graffiti as a stunt, which is obviously bad.
However, she apparently believes that a major priority for the militant anarchist left is the Pro Act, which is so dumb that it’s almost charming.
