1/ Rhode Island just gave us another case study in why government-financed housing projects often fail.
The Ocean state spent $52.2 million to produce just 200 rental units.
I explain more in my latest for the @dcexaminer:

"The report argued that while funding levels have increased, policy design has not consistently translated investment into scale and calls for shifting more resources toward maximizing unit production."

This is a pure propaganda headline. It normalizes a coordinated, violent, well-funded assault on the US government as merely an exercise of the First Amendment.
Delaney Hall has become a flashpoint in New Jersey's immigration debate, drawing protesters who have criticized conditions inside the facility and called for its closure.

The amusing thing about today’s progressives is that if you let them talk long enough, they always end up contradicting the very moral certainties they started with.
LA Mayor candidate Nithya Raman has publicly said:
“I don’t think a kid is gonna be safer because a tent is 500 feet away from a school”.
3 days ago a FAKE encampment was set up outside her home, a visibly shaken Raman said:
“I have two little kids. They didn’t see it, luckily this morning”
Do these people ever listen to themselves?!?
@psychfugues@TheRazor51 Comparing today’s progressive movement to its early 20th-century origins is historically useless. The label survived, but the ideology, priorities, and coalitions have changed dramatically.
@psychfugues@JonDBrien1@JessicaforRI@AuburysNavy Her post is embarrassingly laughable - the kind of thing someone writes from inside a socialist echo chamber, vapidly unaware that the real world exists outside it.
Today, the RI Public Expenditure Council (@RIPEC_ ) released their latest policy report analyzing the state's housing strategy. You can read the Executive Summary of the report here: https://t.co/7bXIplJGHL
Below is Leader Michael Chippendale's @MikeWChip statement regarding the new revelations in the report.

@BrianCNewberry It's similar to the tenor of MLK Jr. celebrations. If the Dems can stoke division and hatred, they certainly won't shy away from crapping all over important days in order to do it. Silence is consent too - they made the rules.
@TheStonesEG She feels confident we need more anti-2nd Amendment laws that only impact law abiding citizens, and lighter sentencing for criminals like this. Or at least the public record on votes indicates this position.
@kathleenlala@dimooch It's not "Mike Chip's math" 🤣😂
Just because you don't understand how tax policy and outmigration work, doesn't make the report I reposted or the dynamic of what the tax is doing in MA any less true. But perhaps you'll figure it out one day.
@dimooch ...that you referenced $3.37b - is evaporating and will continue to. MA based their “plan” on the tax collected from the entirety of its “millionaires” and they are losing them. You don’t have to like it or understand it for it to be true Scooter.
@dimooch My reference to "adults" and "children" was an emotional/knowledge label. But I'll give you an A for effort. You seem confused by your own simplicity. MA lost a net $4.2 billion in AGI from outmigration in 2023, 1st year of Millionaire tax. The short term gain... (cont.)
I didn't think RI's household survey data could get worse after last month. But, it did, bigtime! Huge drops in our labor force and resident employment, monthly and annually. Our "official" unemployment rate of 4.5% is totally meaningless (the media won't realize this).
Why aren't policy makers listening to the adults with the data? Children with emotional ideas cannot continue to make fiscal, and fiscally devastating social policy decisions without our state dying from their choice to ignore facts in favor of feelings.
Between tax years 2020-2026, 21 states reduced their top income tax rate, while 4 increased it. As a result, RI moved from the 20th to the 15th highest despite no change in its rate. With the proposed millionaire’s tax, RI would rank in the top 10.
