@cmkatestewart @MoCoCouncilMD when will you deal with the massive and obvious unintended consequences of this rent control law - collapse in supply will lead inevitably to worse affordability and quality of life for MoCo residents

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife - Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson - The assassination of Charlie Kirk Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all. The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

It's a lonely position sometimes but.... Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan are all good guys who we should defend. Because freedom from obliteration is the first freedom.

Good read on the impact of massive supply of new apartments in Austin. Bottom line: New "luxury" apartment construction benefits ALL renters with lower rents and increased availability. Build MORE of everything, not just Affordable Housing alone.

Inspiration from another progressive hamlet on the east coast - perhaps Takoma Park could copy a page here in the effort to address our decades-old housing crisis @TakomaParkMD @talisha_searcy

How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announced.

As usual, the clearest explanation of a messy health care reality comes from Matt

@dp_oneill I’m not defending the subsidy, I just think people are acting rationally given the subsidies and are choosing the cheaper option for them most of the time

@dp_oneill And not sure if this is right, but consistent with other data I’ve seen, premiums can easily exceed $2500 per year. And not community rate, can go up w age nerdwallet.com/article/insura…

Improving the traditional program is just as important as fixing incentives in MA

At the same time, the traditional program has stayed flat or even declined in generosity. Medigap, the inefficient stopgap for high cost sharing in the traditional program, is uncompetitive with MA especially because it is not guaranteed to be available when needed.

Terrific sounding board from Michael here underlining several widely misunderstood facets of the growth of Medicare advantage 🧵

I will never forgive D.C. for being cloudy tonight.

Super impressive

“There’s not a chance in hell I would incentivize low-wage jobs to come to Montgomery County." What a horrific, classist quote from the Montgomery County Republican Party Chair. Just kidding! It's from "progressive" county executive Marc Elrich.
