The right, whatever it looks like after this, can't be squeamish about addressing scams like this going forward. This is a power grab. Attacking it isn't "weaponized government."

The plan here is to make lefty NGOs wealthy real estate barons and thus able to spend more on politics advancing lefty causes.
This development will be unrelated to the fact that they're going to do an actually abysmal job providing housing relative to the open market.
Progress isn’t inevitable. It’s fought for and earned.
New York City will now give community organizations the first shot at buying eligible homes — not flippers who are just looking to extract a profit.
This is the largest Opportunity to Purchase program in the nation.
Thank you @CMSandyNurse for your leadership on the COPA bill. Our city’s tenants are stronger because of it.
Part of getting older is realizing it doesn't matter at all where the Jets pick, they're going to Jets, until something radically changes, which it won't.
Jets face:
Kyle McCord
Carson Beck
Winless Chargers
Buffalo resting starters
Dolphins tanked correctly
Eagles tanked correctly
Raiders tanked correctly
Aaron Glenn fighting for 5 wins while the intelligent teams tank
Feels like Pick 5 & 9-no man's land.
Awful process #Jets

My unpopular opinion is that gamer dudes are basically the romantic marketplace equivalent of cat ladies. There's prob a niche person for you but it's a turn-off to the opposite sex.

Winning an election in part because gas prices are higher and then turning around and claiming a mandate for embracing climate ideology.
Stifling oil and gas production will not lower energy costs.
He's being hyperbolic but this is also sort of an out of touch, rich guy reference. You need a million bucks to feel middle class if you are trying to buy an apartment in Manhattan.

Love this. Was hopelessly single until 37. Just welcomed my 4th at 44. Young bros, just keep pushing forward.
Mostly fine, but some "this isn't even their best album" and massive younger millennial bias. Criminal to exclude Replacements, Nada Surf, and Sunny Day Real Estate. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
This Pitchfork list of the "Best Indie Rock Ever" is like a centrist Dem's idea of progressive politics.
No Pixies
No Husker Du
No Fugazi
No Dischord records at all!
No Drive Like Jehu
No Slint
And Pavement at Number 1? Barf. (They chose the wrong Les Savy Fav record at 99.)

Ah the "violating our democratic norms is bad" pendulum has swung the other way, I see.
I wonder what could have changed....
Democratic gains in the 2026 election mean that the party now has a path to getting rid of the electoral college ahead of 2028.
Should they do it?

I believe it is reasonable to ask employees what they are working on.
In the private sector, we call this a daily standup.
NEW for @washingtonsun: Federal workers in a government tech office are once again being mandated to send in updates about what they do, giving some flashbacks to the infamous “five things” emails Elon Musk required at the height of DOGE.

I lived in Landover. Its full of long term fallow properties like this. Should have been an easy sales pitch for local government and data companies. Fix your messaging.

Imagine thinking that being married for 55 years, raising four kids, and selling millions of books isn’t an exciting life.

Perfect. No notes.
Nothingburger. For better or worse, influence operations are just shifting from think tanks to more relevant platforms. Fewer people read white papers. Opinion pages are all paywalled. Organizations who want to retain influence in this environment can adapt or die.
Sorry, they screwed a lot up but getting rid of race based districts in accordance with Founding principles amd SCOTUS rulings was right and just.
Few things have inspired black voters to vote across the South more than Trump’s redistricting initiative to wipe out black voting districts. Even in states that didn’t do it, the threat of it mobilized black voters more than anything in recent decades. What Stacey Abrams could not do, Trump did.

It’s more than Iran. It’s more than gas prices. Republicans don’t have a good answer to the affordability crisis. That was very apparent during the campaign.
Democrats benefitted from that by being in the minority, yes, but also by seeming to care more about the actual problem.

Important chart from Axios: Democrats aggressively avoided talking about ICE and immigration during the general election. It was a way to rile up primary voters and that was it.
Immigration wasn't talked about this cycle, and among voters who said it was critical to their vote, Republicans won easily.
Republicans using yesterday's disaster to push amnesty are deliberately avoiding the real causes of defeat to surrender to the left on one of the party's only strengths.
