Feels a little like polling keeps overstating left side lean regardless of whether within GE of D v R or within D primaries of D-Left vs D-mod. Or even within R primaries of R-Main Street bs R-MAGA.
Cornyn lost his primary. Tillis is walking. Neither has a donor, a term, or a future to protect. Both caved before lunch Monday. www.JackHopkinsNow.com

Kinda crazy that the "why are US elevators so expensive" issue basically got national level attention almost entirely due to one OCD YIMBY. (that's a compliment). Never doubt if one individual can change the world it seems...
Sightline Institute@sightline.org · 2d ago“There are many differences in construction costs between the U.S. and other countries, but I’m not sure there’s anywhere else where the difference is as large as the elevator.” @stephenjacobsmith.com
and i mean we all remember how this went. the people who are still most rabid and enraged by the pandemic measures also ignored them and lived in places that mostly ignored them too. the rage isn’t connected to actual harm. it’s rage about having been told what to do by ppl you think are uppity.

"Why do these DSA aligned candidates keep spoiling our perfectly manicured party hacks?" I dunno man, you've been dog walked by the rich for decades...it's totally bizarre how they are winning. Total mystery...
I am SHOCKED that a Mussolini fangirl would stoop to rank xenophobia as soon as an immediate opportunity presented itself.
Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 5d ago“Suspend a 400 million person free movement area over 60,000 migrants” nativism is a product of our dumbest lizard brain impulses

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov · 6d agoWhat I am hearing about from folks in uniform is a new secret vetting process where people in the Department of Defense are looking at someone’s social media history. Looking at whether they attended a Pride event or posted something on their personal Facebook page about Martin Luther King Day.
Stuff like this feels like it confirms BART made right move to harden access to the system. Folks who would try to smash open a turnstile gate are on the Venn diagram of "riders more likely to destroy/vandalize other parts of the station": www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/b...
These are the most bludgeoned fare gates in the BART system. Can they be hardened?
BART’s next-generation fare gates have reduced fare evasion and maintenance costs systemwide, but a handful of gates still get punished.

I see usual suspects can't get their heads out of their rears obsessing over a minor grocery pilot program in one single city in America. Like, all you are accomplishing is telling the world about your priors - and your priors ain't great. Still waiting on this much energy expended on cop OT.
Burdell chef bringing a steakhouse / neighborhood grill joint to Rockridge inspired by Brazen Head & Tadich Grill? If he sticks the landing just *insert TikTok sound of credit card being banged on a table*.

When my feed has as many people bitching about police OT as I see bitching about Mamdani's RFP for grocery stores, then I'll take those bitching about a grocery store pilot program seriously.
It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”
Missed this from the Fed. And boy oh boy - this is kinda interesting! Far lower percentage of US household might be homeowners than the 2/3 metric we all have been using since forever. www.minneapolisfed.org/article/2026...

I gave up on the Democratic party fixing anything about itself institutionally when it picked Ken Martin over Ben Wikler, which was picking a butter knife over a gun in a street fight.

Given amount of butthurt from most annoying herbs around over No 10 Manchester thing, I want a President Newsom to declare there's gonna be a White House West in San Francisco, and that includes cabinet meetings in the Presidio & speeches from the "desk in the Oval Office" scheduled on PST.
I already hated the Dodgers for decades. Just glad to see everyone else coming around to recognizing I was right.
