Prior to flipping the Republican seat for Washington’s Third District in 2022, Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez helped run an auto-repair and machine shop in Portland, Oregon. The trivial matters of the auto industry are closer to her than to your average politician, so it wasn’t surprising when she recently brought a sliver of that industry to Capitol Hill. “I don’t know how many of you drive and how often,” she said in the House Appropriations Committee last July, “but I will tell you there is a plague in this country of headlight brightness.” Her proposed amendment, which urges the Department of Transportation to investigate the headlight issue, passed through committee unanimously across party lines. And in September, Republican assemblyman Brian Miller introduced an act in the New York State Assembly calling for its own headlight investigation. How it got to the point where Democrats and Republicans are joining arms about anything at all is hard to fathom. And to someone like Gluesenkamp Perez, that makes headlights an opportunity to appeal to both sides of her purple congressional district.

@jt_ennis @jamestalarico Your guy said it was "existential" to reduce meat consumption to fight climate change and said "I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign..." There's no recovering from that.







NEW: Family of a Texas teen loses it as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store. Judge Raquel West was seen torching 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing out the sentence. "There was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question... State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunity..." West said. "You don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation... I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years." Fontenette pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery for a 2025 incident where he and two others robbed a convenience store at gunpoint. The suspects were caught on camera assaulting the store clerk. Fontenette will likely be in his 40s when he is released from prison.





Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work “It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents have gone up even faster for the average person, except for the few lucky ones in subsidized housing” “Units go untouched and aren’t maintained at all. I think something like 10-20% of rent controlled units in New York are empty because they can’t be brought up to standard, since it’s not worth investing in. In Massachusetts, rent control was a complete disaster and had to be repealed. In San Francisco, the moment they introduced it, permitting dropped. It just hasn’t worked”
