🧵 how we tackle our housing & homelessness crisis based upon my experience as an affordable housing attorney, homelessness nonprofit founder/president, rent stabilization commissioner + my very brief touches w/ homelessness as a kid. 1) this is an incredibly complex issue.

Very glad to see the NYT editorial board endorse BAAJA, the bipartisan permitting reform bill.

Key points from the article:

1. "Democrats who call climate change an emergency should not defend a permitting system too slow to build the clean energy that would address it."

2. "[BAAJA] would make it easier to build solar energy farms, battery storage, power lines and more. As a result, it would reduce energy prices. The status quo is expensive, dirty and unstable. The country needs to build a lot of big, new things to make its future cheaper and cleaner."

3. "The bill’s Democratic skeptics are making a mistake. President Trump would almost certainly veto a follow-up bill next year. And time matters, especially for the climate. Congress should pass this bill now. It can then return next year and pass other bills that would do even more good."

4. "Today, it typically takes between 5 and 13 years to build a long-distance power line, like the one that transports clean hydropower from Quebec to New England. That line took about a decade to finish, and opened in January. It has enough capacity to meet about one-fifth of Massachusetts’s electricity demand, and it’s projected to save consumers $50 million a year."

5. "A more robust, cleaner grid would make American energy more reliable and less dependent on hostile foreign nations. No country can embargo the wind."

6. "[BAAJA] would force data center operators to pay the full costs of the electricity they use, protecting the average electricity consumer."

7. "On net, the bill would cut greenhouse gas emissions from power plants by as much as 18 percent by 2040. It would do so in part by nearly tripling the construction of high-voltage transmission lines."

8. "Anyone who cares about climate change should cheer this bill. And a party that just won an election on affordability should not pass up a chance to start delivering immediately."

Abdul El-Sayed absolutely destroys Donald Trump.

Q: You recently called President Trump the dumbest effing guy who ever was president.

AES: True.

Q: You've also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is.

AES: True.

Q: Why are you taking that approach?

AES: Because he's a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Bullies don't bully you because they necessarily care for the thing you have. They bully you because they like to bully you because it makes them feel strong. And the way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong. It makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak. So they back off. And the more you let a bully get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him.

The American people gave us a mandate to lower costs, and BAAJA is our first major opportunity to deliver.

Let's get it passed.

@nickshirleyy FUCK YOU NAZI BOY.

We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory – in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour – that’s 100 miles per hour.

This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered “shahed” drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time.

Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these “shaheds” becomes much harder.

This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little.

If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way.
