Steven Rattner: If the Trump administration wants to increase home affordability, they need to build more homes. Deporting construction workers and increasing economic uncertainty certainly isn’t helping.

It was like being on another planet. It's when I understood what a being patriot meant. I considered myself to be an American patriot because that experience opened my eyes to how fortunate we were to live in an imperfect democracy. I want it back.

Every American should have the experience of living in a country run by a dictatorship. I had that opportunity when I was 12. Lived in Soviet Russia for one school year. It was an immense education, mostly in human psychology. What people are forced to accept when stripped of all power by fascists.

When Mark Kelly spoke to the troops, he wasn’t talking politics. He was reinforcing the pillars of a free country.👇

yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories

I’m horrified by the attack on two National Guard members today in D.C.
Praying for a full recovery and comfort for their families.

One woman said her father called in June to say he was going to be paroled after serving 20 years for car theft.
Then in September, she got another call: He was instead being transferred to await deportation.
It was the last time she heard from him.

Louisiana Made It Nearly Impossible to Get Parole. Now It’s Releasing Prisoners to Deport Them.
Gov. Jeff Landry eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those already in prison. Then he set all of that aside for one group: undocumented imm...

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Annnnnnd now the West Virginia governor says he's not sure about the condition of the National Guardsmen.
Maybe best to not tweet out that they are both dead until, you know, you KNOW that is absolutely the case...

There has always been a type of person who becomes a journalist because they want to get next to power or success or fame. It is dumb to be reflexively cynical and suggest that that is all, or most, journalists. But they're the dangerous ones, and what's frustrating is, they're not hard to spot.

World AIDS Day was cofounded by an American journalist--James Bunn, a San Francisco reporter who was the first person at a local TV station to make the AIDS crisis his beat, in 1983. An administration that did not loathe the press, history, and knowledge itself might have considered honoring that.

Down to their usual standards, once again.
The shambles continues.
The FBI is investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism…though they say it might not be.
The FBI has an initial identification of the suspected shooter’s nationality…though they’re not wholly sure.
