Really? Because Michelle Bengelsdorf sits on your organization's Board of Directors, presumably due to her role as Managing Director at Rose Associates, a company known to have used RealPage software. You must not be very good at looking I guess?
We represent thousands of landlords and hundreds of thousands of apartments. We spent 0 time and energy opposing this bill. Why? We couldn’t find any members that use “algorithms to collude and raise rent.” Congrats though. Eventually we’ll get around to policy solutions

Whoever is in charge of re-electing House Republicans must be doing a very good job.

$40 Billion in free dollars for Argentina. Nothing for the 20 million Americans whose insurance premiums are about to skyrocket this fall.
"That would be a total of $40B for Argentina," Bessent says. He describes the overall effort as "an economic Monroe Doctrine. ... Much better to use the heft of the U.S. economic power rather than have to use military power" like "with the narco traffic coming out of Venezuela."

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

I got to know @aparnafordc through her organizing to raise pay and improve working conditions for low-paid workers across DC. Since then, I've seen her fight to preserve TOPA and make homeownership more affordable in DC. I donated and you should too! https://t.co/rqgWrz4iCd

Btw, data centers don't pay their fair share for the cost of electricity -- which is why electricity bills in the DMV have more than doubled in the last five years.
Today, 33% of all the electricity used in Oregon is attributed to data centers. In Virginia, it’s 37%.

"For every stockbroker in Greenwich that the party loses, there are two janitors in Kenosha to be won—the building blocks of a durable, coherent majority that can break through the paralysis in Washington and level the playing field for working Americans." https://t.co/n6VkvmwWoC

A blistering assault on economic elites, a moderate stance on cultural issues and a rejection of politics as usual. That’s how to remake the Democratic Party.

"In interviews, half a dozen current and former employees of HUD’s fair housing office said that the Trump political appointees had made it nearly impossible for them to do their jobs." https://t.co/c346ZfzK2F

Interviews and internal documents show that signature civil rights protections in housing are being dismissed as ideologically driven and D.E.I. in disguise.

It's about time someone in this city stood up to Trump!! @aparnafordc is a city council candidate who's already doing more to fight the federal occupation of DC than Mayor Bowser is -- and she has a plan for how a city councilmember can fight back.
TODAY: In the face of rising authoritarianism and attacks on DC autonomy, I'm excited to share our campaign’s Stand Up for DC platform to: – End the Occupation and Protect Immigrants – Support Federal Workers – Fight for DC Autonomy – Fight Back Against Cuts to Critical Services

While no one should have ever harbored such illusions, Trump's FTC terminating the defense of the 2024 non-compete ban really should end dreams of left-right agreement on pro-worker antitrust

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting people to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Lina Khan’s FTC passed a rule protecting 30 MILLION workers from anticompetitive noncompete agreements. The Trump-Vance FTC has no real leadership. It’s the Federal Chamber of Commerce.

30 million workers--fast food workers to doctors--are subject to noncompetes that stop them from taking jobs that pay better, or have shorter commutes, or where they can escape sexual harassment. The Biden FTC banned them by regulation. The Trump FTC just abandoned the rule.
