By contrast, Democrats spend most of their money on TV ads. This failure to build capacity means that the money on failed campaigns has a net zero return on investment. Democrats could easily divert $200 million every cycle to invest in advocacy media and have plenty more than Republicans.

I haven't read every comment but I have yet to see anyone point out that undocumented workers have paid billions in taxes for social security, Medicare and other benefits or programs that go only to U.S. citizens. Conversely, not all citizens are taxpayers. itep.org/undocumented...

17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in βTorture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

New York, NY β Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, candidate for Mayor of New York City, today announced βZohranβs Law,β a plan to protect the cityβs rent-stabilized apartments from being occupied by high-income individauls, ensuring these limited, affordable units go to New Yorkers who actually need them.
Under Cuomoβs proposal, when a rent-stabilized apartment becomes vacant, the incoming individual income would be capped so that the annual rent makes up at least 30 percent of that income. For example, if an apartment rents for $2,500 a month ($30,000 per year), the new tenantβs income could not exceed $100,000.
New York City is in the grip of a housing emergency. The city does not have enough units, and the drastically low vacancy rate is driving up prices, squeezing families, and forcing many to leave in record numbers.
In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.
