Super stoked to pay more taxes for an aging elementary school while my lovely retiree neighbors enjoy a senior exemption regardless of income, asset value, home equity! Oh, & while my NIMBY peers protest new homes! 🤪 evanstonroundtable.com/2026/…

Imagine a world without a gazillion Scam PAC emails and texts. Imagine that inbox pollution GONE. In that same world, must-win races have millions more in hard-money ... and at a time HMP says $17m more would help win unthinkable races. Nuke 'em. Good politics. Good policy.

left-NIMBYs think left-YIMBYs are private development absolutists because they’re public housing absolutists and lack the intellectual horsepower to comprehend a position more nuanced than their own.

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

Dems putting another $264K into Darren Soto’s FL-09. Serious chance the FL GOP fails to flip even a SINGLE one of the seats they gerrymandered.

If people dislike Elon Musk so much, why do they still use the platform he owns?
