@redd10475 @cspan @RepMaxineWaters Also undocumented people aren't exactly in a position to buy a home.

@redd10475 @cspan @RepMaxineWaters Its 11-14 undocumented... No it hasn't. It's a supply problem not a demand problem.

.@RepMaxineWaters to President Trump after he canceled the signing of a housing bill: "Sign the damn bill! And if you don't, get ready for a veto override."

@GavinNewsom Doesn't this violate property rights?

Gun laws keep people safe. This ruling by Trump’s Supreme Court will only endanger people. If Justice Alito really thinks people need guns to go to the grocery store “for self-defense,” this country is truly broken.

@NewDemCoalition Wasn't this a bipartisan bill? Nobody has a spine in the GOP?

We passed a bill to address the housing crisis. Then Trump threw a temper tantrum and cancelled the signing. Now House Republicans are taking their ball and going home early. These are not serious people. America deserves better.

@GovEvers Hitting them with the 🤡 emoji

Good. 🤡

@ZenkaiGoose A W for Tim Hortons.

As a guy who's gained +60lbs and lost it multiple times (canadian winter lol) I can honestly say things like donuts have their place.

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday. 1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away. 2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark. 3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost. 4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper. 5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something. 6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won. 7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field. The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

@Noahpinion Milwaukee fits this category. I would say that even though we’ve elected three socialist mayors in our past it was always a get shit done mentality. Our current mayor is focused less on ideology and more on addressing homicides, reckless driving, and attracting business.

Big American cities tend to oscillate between leftist self-destruction and moderate administrations who clean things up. SF turned into an anarchist wasteland in 2020-23, while NYC hasn't turned into a wasteland since the 70s.

@stoolpresidente Canada changed tactics in the first half. Promise should have started in the first half. They’ve had a similar come up story to US soccer.

Canada is hilarious at soccer 😂. The players should have to wear skates and helmets 😂😂

@RichardHanania I own a house right now and I have about $400,000 in equity. And this is all because of dumb luck. I'm willing to see a drop in my equity so that people can afford homes.

Trump: “I don’t want to hurt people that own houses too.” He’s admitting he wants housing costs to remain high! This man is sick.

@Bogoldub @epnohelty When bro I'm waiting? I need buckets yesterday.

@Archer_WIEN @epnohelty I literally said yes he is, there is no point leaving him in Europe when hes the best player in said league, at worst he will be in the bucks g league most likely I think he gets a 2 way

Everyone keeps forgetting Bogoljub!

"Jon Horst and Jimmy Haslam really DID NOT want to trade Giannis...." @JimOwczarski from the @journalsentinel shared the timeline of events that led to the split from Giannis & the #Bucks on @Nine2Noon with @kuhnj30 & @RamieIsTweeting. 🎧 Full podcast & interview: wisportsradio.com

@mattyglesias Chicago is one of the worst managed cities I've been to. Mayors are a joke. That city is a joke.

Chicago’s left already staged a successful insurgency, but the incumbent left-wing mayor who led the successful insurgency is an unpopular failure so people don’t talk about him anymore. Question is whether the reformist counterinsurgency will spread from SF to the Windy City.

@GrahamStephan @pitdesi It's an incremental change and a step in the right direction. The reality is that most housing policy in the US is local/state and that's a patchwork.

@pitdesi Seems mostly performative. Very little here, if anything, will make a difference to the average person. I’d call this a total waste of time, it was only done to make it look as though they’re doing something.

This bill is a huge win for the abundance movement. It passed the Senate 85–5 and the House 358–32. Finally, a serious federal housing bill focused on supply instead of subsidies! The bill: • Streamlines permitting • Cuts red tape • Supports manufactured and modular housing • Pushes local governments toward zoning reform • Improves housing finance tools • Helps smaller banks make construction and mortgage loans • Gives cities more incentive to actually build homes That matters because almost everything is downstream of housing. Where people can live determines where they can work, who they can marry, how many kids they can have, how long their commute is, whether they can save money, whether startups can hire, whether cities stay dynamic, and whether the American dream still works. In general, we made it too hard, too slow, and too expensive to build homes where people want to live. Then we acted shocked when prices exploded. The best part of this bill to me is the signal that both parties are finally admitting that supply matters. The real villain for all of us is scarcity! V V cool that housing abundance is no longer a niche YIMBY idea on twitter.

@Bogoldub @epnohelty Ok so is he coming tho? Didn't answer my question.

@Archer_WIEN @epnohelty Yes this season, he was league mvp in serbia

@redd10475 @cspan @RepMaxineWaters Immigration doesn't affect housing in the US. It's a housing supply issue which is constricted by regulation which this bill would attempt to alleviate.

@Archer_WIEN @cspan @RepMaxineWaters It's a new way to defraud the American taxpayer. They don't give a shit about who needs housing. If they did, they would get behind mass deportations.

@ezraklein I think this is all dumb. Why do people care so much?

Enough people have asked me about the Peter Thiel-Dialog story that I think it's worth saying what it is, or at least what I saw it to be. So: –Dialog is a conference. I went once in 2018 and once in 2022. No one ever asked me to keep it or my presence a secret. –My understanding was Thiel was one of its founders but no longer involved by the time I went. I never saw or talked to him in connection with Dialog. –Nor did I see the other names I’ve heard mentioned, like Ted Cruz or Elon Musk or Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Jared Kushner. Dialog was not sold to me as a bunch of big names, which is part of why I went. I don’t need to go to a conference to hear what Ted Cruz thinks. –You could be a Dialog member, but I wasn’t. I don’t think joining got you much except guaranteed invitations to future Dialogs. There were occasional dinners and webinars, but I never went to one. I would not have described it as a secret or a society. –The panels were largely self-organized, so people would propose panels and hold them. I went to one on being a working parent and another on whether crypto had any real use cases and another on how to accelerate scientific breakthroughs. You’d usually have 8 or 10 people in a room. It was all very TED-talk adjacent. –In 2018, I found it very optimistic, with an idealistic hacker-ish vibe. In 2022, I found the conversations and vibe more curdled and resentful. I didn’t enjoy it, and I didn’t go back. (That did prove a pretty good signal of where tech’s politics were going though, maybe I should’ve paid more attention.) –That said, Dialog was a pretty ideologically diverse crowd. I met some people there who were *extremely* far left and far right. I met some real eccentrics and weirdos. I appreciated that about it. – I’m a journalist, I go to lots of things in the hopes of getting to know people, hearing new ideas, finding podcast guests, etc. –Being at something does not mean I endorse it, or everyone at it, or everyone who organized or founded it. I try to go to things where I don’t share the politics and perspectives of the crowd, for obvious reasons. –I am surprised how credulous some people have been on this story. You have to believe some weird things about the world to believe Julián Castro and Peter Thiel are somehow engaged in a common project. Secret societies, I imagine, need a lot of trust to function, but the people being named here do not trust each other and do not have aligned agendas. So that’s what I saw at Dialog. I’ll just end by saying it’s a weird experience to have a conference you haven’t thought about for years become the center of a new conspiracy theory. wired.com/story/leak-exp…
