1. I’ve spent the past several years trying to solve a riddle: Why has America ceased to be a land of opportunity for so many of its people? The answer, I’ve come to believe, is that we’re STUCK: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/700580/s…

Excellent new reporting from Rogé Karma on California's everything-bagel problem, and the difficulty of overcoming municipal resistance to density in single-family-home neighborhoods. theatlantic.com/economy/2026/0…

"It is not, in fact, a law of nature that we can’t make the world of tomorrow better than the one we have now, and neither is the notion that the steps needed to get there are incompatible with broader civic values."

This is shaping up as the most consistent finding in housing studies: Building lots of luxury housing can reduce rents at the top of the market—but the people it helps most are renters struggling to afford even the least desirable units

As Juliana Stratton showed in last night’s election, a “fighter” is what Democrats want these days. I saw that first hand as she emphasized so on the campaign trial. Timely angle by @russellberman as Cory Booker seeks that mantle
Russell Berman@russellberman

I've spent the past few months trailing @CoryBooker as he contemplates another run for the presidency. The Democrat who preached about love in 2020 wants people to know he's a fighter, too. Now, Booker told me, "I'm far angrier." theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

The Iran war has not quite gone to plan Tehran’s military has been crushed, but the regime lives and oil prices are surging The eventual outcome may come down to just how much risk Trump is willing to accept—and how much pain he is willing to take theatlantic.com/national-secur…

“The House, Republicans privately admit, seems lost, and the Senate could follow. But it’s unclear how much Trump cares. He has made remarkably little effort to sell the war, or explain why it had to happen now” theatlantic.com/national-secur…

This is the interesting thing about zoning reform. The generational change of views has ALREADY happened. Now we're just watching it amplify through the electorate, year by year.
Jonathan Berk@berkie1

A new poll from @YouGov & @AbundantHomesMA showed 59% of Massachusetts voters support allowing middle-housing like duplexes, triple-deckers & townhomes anywhere that single-family housing can be built. That number jumped to 76% support among ages 18-34 & 72% among ages 35-49.

3. But perhaps you're wondering if snow impedes students from safely getting to class? Hard to square with the fact that the day *before* a snowday, when the flakes have yet to fall, attendance is just 76.7%.

2. On a normal day, an appallingly low 86.4% of students show up. But on the day after DCPS closes for weather, that drops to just 78.6%. It's almost as if students are quite capable of learning, and the lesson they absorb is that school is optional.

1. You would never guess, based on its fondness for weather-related closures, that the district's priority right now is fighting chronic absenteeism by "improving student attendance in DC’s public schools."
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Some D.C.-area school systems plan to dismiss classes early Monday or switch to remote learning ahead of a storm system that could bring heavy rain, damaging winds and, possibly, tornadoes to the region. wapo.st/40uoKoX
