NEW: Excited to announce, I am starting a Substack with the great @garywinslett: The Rebuild!. The Rebuild will focus on how Democrats can break through bureaucracy, build more, cut costs, and actually deliver results that win back voters' trust. 🧵+ Link below ⬇️

Conservatives were critiquing it because of a secret third thing: it didn't go far enough.
So what exactly is the conservative critique of Zohran Mamdani now that Trump is busy seizing the means of production?.

Housing transforms lives, but Bass opposed SB79 just days ago & gutted ED1 by exempting single-family zones shielding 74% of LA from fast-track housing. She calls it “not forcing housing,” but the result is little built while rents soar.
This is why, for the second year in a row, homelessness has gone down. Housing transforms lives, like Robert’s, who now has a safe place to call home and spend meaningful time with his son. We will keep bringing people inside, offering them shelter and hope.

Oh what, you thought you could go an August Friday without a new round of tariffs??.
Your Ikea couch is now a threat to American national security, apparently.

I don't think I've seen any of the writers there be against many of those things? Nor labeled it as illiberal?.
"Wealth redistribution, Medicare for all, climate action, controls on capitalism (and) an end to a US-assisted genocide might seem illiberal if your new paycheck depends on the goodwill of some of the richest people in the country."

Trump hates the idea because it didn't go far enough in his opinion. Why own grocery stores when multi-billion dollar companies are right there.
Amazing how much less of a freakout this has caused than Zohran’s proposal for a few publicly owned grocery stores.

Get in loser, we're going full MAGA Maoism.
JUST IN: President Trump confirms the US government will take a 10% stake in Intel. A formal announcement is expected later today.

Republicans: We’re not raising taxes on the wealthiest anymore. Instead, we’ve found a cool new way to reduce the deficit: jack up import taxes so high that all consumers pay more for goods, placing the heaviest burden on low-income households.

telling the kiddos to just use less tiktok on their free time is a hilarious solution to this, when it should clearly be, as stated, focusing on expanding and scaling the clean energy sector.
i get that this guy is a “digital media / art” guy more so than an “ai energy” expert, but i still find it frustrating that outlets treat this as a serious proposal. demand is growing — what matters is whether we meet it with efficient (and clean, when possible) energy supply.

Yes, raising taxes increases tax revenue. We are aware.
CBO: Trump’s tariffs could reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over a decade

Powell all but cementing that we will get a rate cut while sprinkling “but don’t get too comfortable, we got stagflation coming through” is just chef’s kiss. I’ll miss him.
Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside, and risks to employment to the downside—a challenging situation.". Translation: Stagflation.

You just love to see it. If Waymo can survive LA's roads, NYC seems like the natural next step!.

Ozempic for All is gaining traction!!. GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic could reshape U.S. health care, beyond weight loss, they cut risks of heart disease, diabetes & more. As prices fall & bulk deals emerge, universal access could save billions, making a ‘luxury’ drug, smart policy.

holding space has unironically entered my vernacular so I will be holding space for that term.
Don't say "birthing person." .Don't say "incarcerated person." .Don't say "the unhoused." .Don't say "chest feeding." .Don't say "centering. Don't say "Latinx.". When voters hear this, they think Democrats are out of touch crazy people. Just talk normal. Be normal.

It's true! This site is downright terrible for your soul but the libs who want to fight need to stay on here. The retreat after the election made no sense from an oppo POV if one of our main critique was that Dems always stayed in a bubble!.
a take that can unite every corner of this website -- it's good that you're here!

Looks like Canada will drop many retaliatory tariffs on US goods in a move to ease tensions with the White House. However, steel, aluminum, and autos remain targeted which currently have 25% tariffs. That would still be a large hit on these products.
