I truly wish @PBS would hire the team that @60Minutes has fired, including those-soon-to-leave Scott Pelley etc. and create their own version of this iconic program. Ratings would be huge.
Good will would be even larger.

@mattyglesias Can't help but feel that if the Mayor of Baltimore were a Carcetti-esque moderate-coded white democrat this incredible crime drop would be getting way way more national attention.

Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.

S&P 500 futures and oil futures flashed an unusual burst of activity early Monday minutes before a market-moving social media post from President Donald Trump.

The timing of the volume spikes across both equities and crude caught the attention of traders, particularly given the absence of an obvious catalyst at the moment they occurred.

Good thing Congress isn't alive to see this.

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

John Oliver did a brutal exposé of how Elon Musk destroyed Twitter and turned X into a cesspool of right-wing misinformation.

Oliver hasn't posted in over a year: "I will be going back there tomorrow to post a link to this piece before going silent again."

Worth a watch.

Erika Kirk: “Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband, at UVU, Caleb has persisted with the same grift, excuse me, grit…”

This is the greatest Freudian slip of all time.

SB79 is currently on @GavinNewsom's desk.

It’s a law that would speed up housing construction near transit and begin to address the massive housing crisis in our state. Passing it through the legislature was a huge victory for housing advocates and everyone who wants California to be affordable, who wants people to build lives and families and businesses here, and who wants to prove that Democrats can make hard calls and fucking govern.

The Mayor of Los Angeles, @KarenBassLA, caving to political pressure from NIMBYs, is asking the governor to veto it. It’s infuriating, honestly. She claims in her letter to the governor she’s all for more housing near transit and streamlining construction, a big wind up to all the classic “buts” about historic neighborhoods and community input and local zoning.

Those objections - endlessly litigated and addressed during the debate over the bill - are EXACTLY why California is in this mess and why it is so important that the governor sign this bill.

Right now, Los Angeles is on track to build less than a third of the housing we’ve promised to build, and yet the mayor says the state should just trust LA, even though it has completely blown it already. It's bullshit.

Meanwhile, families are priced out of California, and people are fleeing to red states, as Republicans say we can’t be trusted to govern the country, because we can’t even govern ourselves.

So I hope @GavinNewsom makes a big show of signing this bill, proudly, and stands up to the pressure, and makes it clear that he's behind this law 100 percent.

Yes it’s about housing - and that's really important - but it’s also about proving something bigger about Democratic leadership in California and beyond. COME ON, GAVIN, LET'S FUCKING GO.
