I’m so impressed by Brett and the rest of the Student Homes Coalition who are doing amazing work advocating for tenants and fighting to build more housing. I can’t wait to continue working with them as Lieutenant Governor.

@Karmir_Kovkas I think this has been in effect for a while... I've taken the 217 in the early AM a few times.

@mnolangray Also worth noting the incumbent voted for a pretty good 79 implementation ordinance (even though it didn't pass). As a voter in this district, that matters a lot, especially when @dylankendall is proposing the same tired and inequitable corridor upzoning we've always done

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

UCLA Study Shows How Ambiguous Definition of “Major Transit Stop” Creates Wiggle Room for Municipalities

This is a story of how well-intentioned efforts by the state to tie new development to transit hinge on how governments interpret broad state law.

"Major transit stop": how these three words are defined determines what can be built where, throughout CA.

This is an ASTONISHING level of corruption.

DHS handed a $143 MILLION no-bid contract to a company that was 8 days old, with no headquarters, no website, no prior federal work, and an address linked to a residence of a political operative.

That company then subcontracted with a firm whose CEO is married to Noem's former Assistant Secretary — the same official who ran the DHS office that awarded the contract.

And what did taxpayers get for $143 million of their money? Ads featuring Kristi Noem on horseback in front of Mount Rushmore.

It was long past time for Noem to go. To whoever comes next: we will watch every contract and dollar, and we intend to hold you accountable for all of it.

I talk the @metrolosangeles D Line extension with @knxnews. For better or worse, delays in public works projects are common, a consequence in part of lack of in-house experience with repeated, regular capital projects: https://t.co/IvjK7ThEps

A quite brilliant essay on AI, the law, and the future of the republic.

An upshot: If the US govt can go to any company, demand any contract language, and reserve the right to destroy your company if you have qualms, there is no such thing as private property rights in America.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

I just don’t think this guy is kidding about trying to take over elections, consolidate media, control AI and crypto for corrupt goals, and divide this country right down the middle. And I think a lot of super smart and decent people are trying not to believe their own eyes.

DHS spent today replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge tonight showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed.
