This is BIG. @aflcio just endorsed our bipartisan permitting reform bill. BAAJA means new, family-supporting jobs and a brighter clean energy future.

I really do think it's important for Democrats to understand that they should not be taking strategic advice from the worst electoral performer in the Senate.

Seattle issued 3% more residential permits this year, but the homes on them fell 28%, from about 3.1 per permit to 2.1. Count the homes, not the permits.
Replying to @PSBJ
Seattle issued 1,162 new residential construction permits through Oct. 14, up 3.1% from a year earlier, but the housing units on them fell 27.9% to 2,483, about 2.1 homes per permit against 3.1 last year. transparent.city/c/seattle/s…

people keep talking about ABUNDANCE being over and yet it seems like the only two major bills to pass the 2026 Congress will be ROAD to HOUSING and BAAJA (clean energy permitting reform), which are quite literally two chapters of the literal book

NEWS: North America's Building Trades Unions @NABTU is endorsing the Senate's permitting reform bill, according to a letter to negotiators I obtained. BAAJA is a "significant step toward a more efficient permitting system that supports job creation" and "helps reduce costs".

Holy moly. JBLM went results went from 53%-44% Trump to 71%-28% Dem, a 51-point swing towards the Dems. Military personnel do not f*** with being disrespected.

It’s not just Talarico and Peltola who embraced an all of the above energy policy. Check out these comments from Scott Colom, Adam Hamilton, and Annie Andrews. Notice anything in common?

As usual we are going to inherit a cursed Republican economy and build it back up just for President Jake Paul to inherit and destroy it in 2032, but we'll do it anyway because we love you America!!!

Congrats to James Talarico, man. I met him in a mental health facility a few weeks back and we became fast friends. Super inspiring to see what you’ve done
