MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

Not exaggerating when I say that SB 79, a bill making it easier to build housing near mass transit, is the most consequential piece of legislation that the Democratic Party has passed all year. Saying no to the worst people in our coalition proves we're serious about the future.

How exactly is inviting Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu to invade your country to set up a far-right dictatorship promoting democracy?

The Politics Understander has cited Horseshoe Theory; A universally panned theory by virtually all academics.

The thing is, you can't distinguish far-left accounts from the MAGA-prankster accounts, because the horseshoe theory is real.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

In British soap operas, they love to:

ask:
"Are you winding me up?"
When being told unpleasant or unbelievable news.

Proclaim:
"they're doing me head in"
When feeling frustrated by a difficult situation.

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

We have been in a Recession since the SVB collapse in 2023.

The 'Recovery' has been existent entirely on a "papering over" level and that has created the increased disparity in the K Shape nature of it.

We are about to hit the 'double dip' end of this recession with the popping of the AI Bubble.

Mike Johnson still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva despite saying he would do so early this week.

Recession Indicator @gatherer.bsky.social · 9d

I wonder if they will swear in Adelita Grijalva or if this will be a new type of transgression. Legally Johnson has no power make her wait and yet he is doing it anyways.

All those foreign aid payments over the years given to help Israel pay for its education, its free healthcare and its genocide need to be paid back. That’s just step 1 and it’s the bare minimum.

The position of the Democratic Party right now should be to claw back every penny we gave to Israel. All those grants for them to buy weapons? Those are now loans and we will be collecting interest. Yet not one Democrat has taken this position.

Someone said that for the past 2-3 years 80% of people have been experiencing recession like conditions with almost zero acknowledgement of this reflected in the media and that rings true.
