Honestly feels like we’re just bombing them because the admin can’t admit they didn’t have a real plan. Everything is very stupid.

What you don't think this is an accurate depiction of Ptolemy the creator of the dynasty that ruled Egypt for hundreds of years hence?

Kristi Noem is speaking at a press conference right now about DHS ops. I don’t think they told her she got fired

Reminder that a president can't just "announce" a permanent new DHS secretary by fiat; Mullin still has to get confirmed by the Senate. He needs 50 senators to support him (and there's a very good chance he'll get that).

There Is No Housing Affordability Without Building More Housing If we make it easier to build dense housing in cities, then the resulting supply boost will ease the cost burden on renters and put homeownership within closer reach for millions of households.

Every couple of months or so, someone puts out a piece of bad social science meant to undermine the case for more housing. For Roosevelt Institute, I wrote a blog post responding to the two most recent specimens. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/there-i...

I do think that quote plus “People are loving what’s happening" is evidence that they are completely cut off from the feedback mechanism of public opinion. And the thing about feedback mechanisms is they don't just disappear if you ignore them.

Lawmakers to introduce bill strengthening federal anti-poverty program: It's 'a critical lifeline,' Warren says Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, was created in 1972 to help the nation's most vulnerable. Some features of the program have not been updated in decades.

"because the program has not been meaningfully updated since the 1970s, poverty rates among SSI beneficiaries are more than double the national poverty rate, according to new research from the Roosevelt Institute, a liberal think tank" @rooseveltinstitute.org
