Recovering municipal CAO; gardening, travelling, good books and life are current priorities
Collaboration wins over bully tactics. Had the Ford government done its job, facilitated this and listened to both sides three years ago, we might have been further ahead.
NEW: They were the opposing forces pushing and pulling on every housing bill.
After years of slowing new homes, a major development lobby group and the main municipal group have worked together. Some of their suggestions shaped the latest bill. #OnPoli

Watching Gabbards testimony on @cnn.com
So funny how she “can’t recall” any details for questions put to her by D’s, but she gives yes or no answers to all the R’s questions. Apparently her memory is also partisan.

Thank you for your courage Ms Cheney. Trump and Vance pretend to want peace when what they really want are rare earth minerals and an aluminum plant. The US that used to engage in peacemaking is now engaging in piracy and extortion.
Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

There is nothing J.D. Vance and Americans can teach European countries about history, democracy, threats, war, culture or life. Nothing. What an arrogant, egotistical bunch of verbal diarrhea from an unworthy critic.

How is this not a coup d’état? Control the money, control the country. All great empires and dynasties have eventually fallen. America is now officially an oligarchy.
“The richest man in the world, whom no one elected to any government position...seems hell-bent on cutting off as much funding as possible for the programs that matter to the rest of us.”

Opinion | There are several reasons Musk wants to control Treasury payments. None of them are good.
An unelected and unaccountable billionaire wants to dictate what working families can and cannot afford.
