I think a much more productive mortgage reform in light of current conditions would be Fannie to create a mortgage product that allows borrowers to change the collateral property on their existing loan and keep the terms.

Intentionally plunking a non-teammate is at least some kind of progress
Jason Beck@beckjason
Tigers needed innings and zeros from Framber Valdez last night. They got neither, and any suspension for hitting Trevor Story could put their pitching in peril. “We play a really good brand of baseball here. That didn’t feel like it,” A.J. Hinch said. mlb.com/news/benches-c…

“Reporters at the paper have been scrambling to figure out the employee’s identity”
They’re going to fucking destroy him
New York Magazine@NYMag
A white male New York ‘Times’ employee filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging the paper had discriminated against him by not giving him a promotion because he is a white male. On Tuesday, the EEOC, now controlled by a Trump appointee who has vowed to help wage the president’s war against DEI culture, filed a civil-rights lawsuit against the ‘Times’ arguing that the paper’s efforts to satisfy its diversity goals amounted to “unlawful employment practices.” The paper itself was first to break the news of the suit but did not name the employee who made the complaint. Reporters at the paper have been scrambling to figure out the employee’s identity, driven in part by bafflement that one of their own colleagues would sell out the paper to the administration, which has used tools of the federal government to attack the press. “This has been kind of a shitshow behind the scenes — people trying to figure out who the aggrieved person is,” said another ‘Times’ staffer. The release of the complaint on Tuesday narrowed the speculation to Bryant Rousseau, a senior editor and producer on the ‘Times’’s international desk who has been with the paper for more than a decade.

Good inspiration for this week where my neighbor is doing a full mounted campaign to the Cambridge Historical Commission to block a remodel on our street that would add 6 additional housing units.

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

This might be the best one.

Yeah sorry, coming more and more to believe that abundance as a left-wing project isn’t going to work. At best it’ll make things better on the margins in a few policy areas like housing. But unless you’re willing to go to war with organized labor, this will keep happening.

Both the democratic frontrunners for governor want to kill more people by reversing the autonomous vehicle rules that the CA DMV already approved

It's very funny that everyone can see that moderation is electorally helpful when they are analyzing the dynamics on the other side.

Trump's intrusion into GOP primary elections forces elected Republicans to take his side, often endorsing dramatically unpopular stances — which generates severe blowback for the midterms. E.g., this probably cost the GOP control of the Senate in 2022 gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-06-i…

The MBTA Communities Law, signed in 2021 by then-Governor Charlie Baker (R), required 177 cities and towns to permit modest-density multifamily housing by right in at least one district near transit. It is designed to expand housing supply in a constrained market rather than mandate affordability, allowing municipalities to require up to about 10% of units be income-restricted—or none at all.
In 2024, Governor Baker (R) was asked about the importance of Needham's compliance with the law and said; “For Massachusetts to succeed in the future we’ve got to build more housing. And a lot of it’s gotta be in places with spaces where people can afford it. I get the fact that everybody that’s got a house has a certain comfort with the way things are. But if you look at all the demographic trends, the crowd we’re losing is the 25 to 35-year-olds."

“We’re trying to make sure we build no houses? Like, I don’t get it, people live in houses.”

She didn't apologize for any of the terror supporting posts she made/liked/shared as an adult. She apologized for writing the N-word as a teenager. The outcome of this interaction is the least surprising story ever
The Uri@uricohenisrael
Miss Israel, Melanie Shiraz, was sitting in a Williamsburg coffeeshop next to Rama Duwaji, Zohran Mandani’s wife. Once Duwaji found out that Melanie is Israeli, she suddenly refused to engage with her. Rama Duwaji and Zohran Mamdani are both antisemitic Nazis.

New Jersey has the same population density as Belgium
Porkchop Express@Porkchop_EXP
Why is it so hard for Americans to understand we simply DON’T HAVE SPACE in Europe?? American large homes are a function of space availability. Even poor people in the US live in large houses on huge properties because they are cheap. Check and compare our population density to the US ffs. Large homes like this exist in Europe but they cost 5x-7x what they cost in the US so of course only the ultra rich can afford them.

Sanchez responded to the slaughter of 42,000 Iranians by opening an embassy in Tehran last month.
You literally cannot make this up.
