Uh oh.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

rebranding the 15 min city.

A reminder that property taxes are due on April 10, so you might as well pay them today! For a fun April Fool's Day Treat check out the property taxes others in your neighborhood are paying! Reply with the best spreads on the same street! www.officialdata.org/ca-property-...

Elon Musk is flying in paid canvassers from Texas to knock on doors in Wisconsin for Brad Schimel. Susan Crawford's supporters are knocking on doors in their own neighborhoods—like the terrific folks of the Teal Team on Madison's West Side. Let's keep knocking till the polls close on April 1!

Some good news: As a result of public pressure, my office has confirmed that DOGE has backed down from their previously announced decision to close Social Security offices in GA.

“We will need to do things previously thought, impossible, and at speeds never conceived by previous generations”.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

People keep talking about the security implications of the Hegseth leak. The other issue is they are likely illegally using Signal to bypass mandatory government record keeping. That should be equally as terrifying.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

So…lock them up?

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

#Housers like me are verrrry used to Laws/Policies with no enforcement mechanism. For generations, lawmakers have adopted toothless policies across the US, everything from medical fraud to worker protections. Without reliable regulation and enforcement of rules and laws, we have nothing.

MTA is allowing bus drivers to go ahead of scheduled departures on some Manhattan routes thanks to the higher bus speeds created by congestion pricing: NYC Transit president Critchlow in response to Q from Lincoln Restler

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

So far, NYC congestion pricing has NOT increased traffic on highways outside of the congestion zone. Summary: Traffic declined a lot within the congestion relief zone, AND it's flat in other areas where you'd expect traffic to be diverted to. It's a win-win! nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/12/d...

Huge support among Los Angeles County voters — including in fire zones — for stronger building codes and restricting homebuilding in high-risk areas, according to our new poll. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Taking a super nice train in Italy for $45 and thinking of how cool it is that our taxpayer money back home will buy Ethereum to bail out David Sacks.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

This from @latimes.com is by far the most comprehensive look at the cost of the Palisades and Eaton fires: Real estate losses of $30 billion, annual property tax losses of $61 million, 13,000 households displaced www.latimes.com/california/s...

The clash between California housing laws and homeowners associations — which cover housing for 14 million people in the state — has been a long time coming. Good @calmatters.org story about a San Diego homeowner trying to build a casita and getting HOA pushback calmatters.org/housing/2025...

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Republicans for much of 2024: "How DARE you call our candidate Mr Trump a fascist?" *President* Trump in 2025:

Just listened to 3 hours of Rick Caruso on Joe Rogan. As much as I'd love Karen Bass to lose reelection, that man does not understand housing, does not understand governance and most importantly, does not have the juice.

One of these days we’ll see an abundant housing Super Bowl ad, and it will be amazing.
