The NYT is inventing experimental euphemisms for "racist" like Edison in the lab in 1877

I think the older Dems are genuinely good at managing a raucous caucus and moving hill creatures around to where they need to be. Very good, in Pelosi’s case. But that’s just not the game anymore, that’s not what the moment calls for. And what replacements they have groomed aren’t ready either.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

There is no such thing as a "reckless pedestrian". According to TIMS (tims.berkeley.edu), in the last ~13 years there have been 1388 pedestrians that have been hit by cars in the city of Berkeley. The vast majority of those occurred while someone was legally crossing in a crosswalk... 1/4

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

Elevator pitch: state and regional housing bond agencies that lend to private and public affordable projects/buy up municipal bonds for housing and transit infrastructure at highly preferential rates, funded with printed money from the Fed that dials up and down countercyclically.

This kind of Democrat is Trumpism's greatest ally. They prove to voters that our concern for the middle-class is fake. They confirm the prejudice that Democrats can't get anything done. And they build cities replete so with human misery that Republicans can point and ask "Is this what you want?"

sure, mitch mcconnell cynically masterminded the plot to destroy the US constitution and american democracy, but you have to at least credit him with lifting up his own constituents in Kentucky to make it one of our richest and most prosperous...

as we learned in the first administration, i'm sure some of this is leaking, and the people who are being leaked to are packaging it up for books later on down the road

one really interesting thing about congestion pricing is that Trump basically said “I am killing congestion pricing right now”, got a friendly puff piece in the New York Post, and then every other media outlet went along with it even though it turned out he actually did not kill congestion pricing

For fucks sake there are fewer than 60 million people age 65+ in the country total. The idea that a third of all payments are fraudulent is so ludicrous it's insulting. They're lying, and those around them will pretend it's true as long as it advances their goals. They have no principles. Zero.
