Heartened to see the number of friends and politicos pissed off about the slew of bogus tax cut proposals coming from national Dems right now.

Yeah, We're Going to Have to Tax the Middle Class YouTube video by Takes™ by Jamelle Bouie

For years, I've shared my concerns about the false populism of Democrat-backed tax cuts, so I was delighted by this video from @jamellebouie.net explaining the importance of broad taxes and broad public benefits.

We can't out-tax-cut the GOP and we don't want to.

It was an honor to speak at AFSCME’s joint day on the hill this morning.

I was followed an hour later by Sen. John Hoffman who repeatedly demanded that leadership play this 1979 PSA:

It is horrifying to see the media going from:

“Trump launches unconstitutional war on Iran”

to: “Will Trump’s Iran gambit pay off?”

inside of a week.

These are extraordinarily dark times.

It’s a great question. I’ve seen a number of different estimates of cost per curb mile but not much on man hours.

I’ll have to keep poking

A clean environment is a material need. So are parks, trees, trails. All of it is essential to a safe, healthy and vibrant city.

The idea that we can’t afford investments that make life better is a major part of how we get trapped in a cycle of under-investing, in my opinion.

just because it’s how things usually are doesn’t mean we should accept it!

Wow, the great David Brauer guilty of austerity mindset in the first degree. Sad.

In part because we only fully sweep twice a year, which seems crazy to me.

Not me. I’m stewing in righteous anger. We’ve got to do better.

The city is absolutely filthy and it’s a major bummer. More street cleaning would be a big public value.

Logging on to tell you that the Mayo Clinic's annual profit is equal to HCMC's entire operating revenue.

However can we find the money to save our bedrock safety net hospital? 🤔

I've long said that Mancini's is my favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities.

Now it is my favorite in the world.

Affordability is a poisoned chalice for Dems. It had a moment (kind of) but you can't deliver it and it doesn't mean anything.

The platform that actually makes life affordable is extending human rights to things like healthcare, and that's a far more compelling vision than coupons for basic needs.
