TX-35 Democratic candidate Maureen Galindo says she will convert ICE detention center in Karnes County into an internment camp for "American Zionists." "It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists," she added.

Here's a piece we've been working on for a while. Happy to finally see it published! America faces two major challenges at the same time: a severe housing shortage and growing fiscal pressure on the U.S. Postal Service. In this new Brookings piece, my co-authors and I argue that these problems can help solve each other. The Postal Service owns a vast portfolio of land in communities across the country—much of it already connected to infrastructure, transit, and neighborhood centers. By strategically redeveloping underutilized postal properties for housing while maintaining postal operations, we estimate the potential to create up to 237,000 housing units nationwide and generate meaningful long-term revenue for USPS. This is not about privatizing the Postal Service. It’s about strengthening a critical public institution by using its assets more productively while helping address America’s housing supply crisis. The idea builds on lessons from international examples, existing USPS authorities, and a broader belief that government can be more entrepreneurial and innovative in how it manages public assets. Grateful to my co-authors and the Brookings Institution for the opportunity to contribute to this conversation. @ShroyerAaron Read the piece here: brookings.edu/articles/deliv…
