Here’s what building 83,000 housing units in 5 years in one city does to rent:
New data shows that Austin continues to lead the country with the sharpest decline in rents among large cities. Rents fell nearly 7% over the last year. Because they make it easy to build housing in Texas.

One of the biggest issues facing the anglosphere is that nearly any housing or transit project has opposition that always looks like this. The same room of people that kills housing in the UK look like the same people who stopped the Acela from being faster in Connecticut.
Hundreds turn out to oppose #Labors High Rise High Density forced development. Nobody wants forced 20 storey development or even forced 6 storey development in ‘catchment zone’ #springst ⁦@BaysideCouncil⁩ ⁦#Kingston #GlenEira

Last year, Trump’s FBI Director was selling magic pills which would supposedly cleanse your body of the Covid vaccine to “reverse the vaxx” if you ever had one. A complete scam.

and it’s entirely because democrats refused to strike when the iron was hot. they ignored cori bush’s resolution to expel insurrectionist republicans, normalized AIPAC and their support for insurrectionists, and bored the public to death with incredibly dull hearings
Still blows my mind that basically zero swing voters found this disqualifying.

Four years of ‘Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter’ and this is what we get the moment Republicans retake power. The president appointing his son-in-law’s former convict father, who he earlier pardoned, to a prestigious US government job abroad for which he has zero qualifications.

they clearly did, it’s just that Dems took forever to prosecute those involved and avoided investigating Trump’s involvement for >2yrs so they were no longer credible on the issue. you can’t expect voters to listen to you call this guy a fascist after slowplaying prosecution
Still blows my mind that basically zero swing voters found this disqualifying.

The fact that the Trump transition team is avoiding FBI background checks, so they can install people that they KNOW wouldn’t pass them, is abhorrent and insanely dangerous.

I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide. So I made this chart to put things in context. Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.

This is one of the crowning achievements of the Biden presidency. Yet few seem to realize it and fewer seem to understand the ramifications of it.
The White House announced today that the infrastructure bills passed during the Biden administration have spurred over $1 trillion in private sector investments. If Trump tries to repeal these laws, the consequences would be costly. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

Mythmaking is important after elections so we need to call it out Trump had Sinclair, Peter Thiel, Fox News, Newsmax, Uncommitted movement, The Intercept, Daily Wire and third party candidates CNN wouldn’t even factcheck Trump during a debate This is some serious revisionism
Kamala had CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NYT. Trump had @X, @joeroganhq, some cat memes and a squirrel. Trump won. America found a new way to get information, and the democrats completely missed the boat. Time to catch up.

I understand that decoupling Chrome from Google feels big, but it retained its search monopoly via cash payments not via Chrome. Their Adtech monopoly has warped the Internet itself, is the key to the kingdom, and they aren't touching it at all?
After a week of rumors, it's official: The Justice Dept is demanding Google "promptly" sell-off Chrome. That's the baseline to cure Google's search monopoly. Here's the big kicker: If Google fails to comply, or if competition is not restored, Android must be sold off, too. /

Trump's incoming FCC chair already putting TV networks on noticed they'll be punished for coverage Trump doesn't like. Trump use already violated his oath in term 1 by using public power to punish coverage he didn't like. Even more open now.
Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows. These media companies are required by law to operate in the public interest. If they don’t, they are going to be held accountable, as the Communications Act requires.

Have you gotten a surprisingly expensive vet bill lately? That’s because Wall Street and corporations like Mars (yes, the candy company) know you’ll do anything for your pet, so they buy up clinics and squeeze you for every last cent. Bailey and I are fighting back.
In the past decade, veterinary prices have increased more than 60 percent, writes @marcela_elisa. At the same time, large corporations and private equity companies like Mars Inc. have taken over hundreds of vet clinics all over the country. trib.al/LTVnmc5

Did you know free annual checkups, and preventative screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies and pap smears didn't used to be free? This is a part of the Affordable Care Act. Pass it on.
