Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Given Trump's destruction of the White House, was thinking, "Maybe Dems should propose that when President OAC takes power they'll move the Capitol to Denver, make DC and PR a state, and rebuild from the start."

Just as a way to use Trump's destruction as a way to talk about HOW to rebuild.

Wasn't expecting this, but watching the felon king tear down the White House East Wing gave me the same vibes as when I watched the MAGAts storming the capital on January 6th.
America desecrated.

I think we won't be shocked when the Epstein victim's attorney gets into court and trump's acquaintances are called to testify and start validated their stories of brutal rape.

Bower: But when you’re a sitting United States attorney approaching a reporter you don’t know, and you don’t set the conditions of that conversation at the outset.. of course, it’s expected that whatever you say is on the record, and that they can report it.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Increasing housing supply is essential to lowering housing costs.

Ameren is standing in the way in Lexington to bring much-needed homes by refusing to provide a fair plan or a reasonable cost estimate for service.

They need to take action or step aside.

Pritzker, Johansen: Lexington is growing, if only Ameren would let it

For two years, Ameren has stood in the way of a new housing development that would bring 40 homes to Lexington, writes Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Spencer Johansen.
