Lukewarm take: It's OK to criticize Democrats when they do or say something really stupid or corrupt.

It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population.

This clown is the GOP chair in Tarrant County, Texas, the third largest county in the state.

Nineteen spots in the Top 25 poll have new teams in a major shuffling a month before the College Football Playoff matchups are set.

The top five were unchanged, led by No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana, which held off Penn State 27-24.

New York completely rejected left-NIMBYism today. we elected a socialist pro-housing mayor, and passed pro-housing ballot measures with a diverse coalition that was strongest in the Bronx, winning every borough by double digits (except the MAGA NIMBYs Staten Island)

Charlotte's transport referendum has won.

1% sales tax increase is expected to generate $19 billion/20 years, funding:
—Transit (40%): Red Line commuter rail, Silver Line light rail, Gold Line extension, Blue Line extension
—Road projects (40%)
—Bus improvements, creating frequent bus network (20%)
Just with early vote reporting, Charlotte's transportation sales tax referendum is currently up 55–45%. But I caution this is just the early vote!

The parade passing these iconic LA landmarks makes me so happy. Music Center is my *favorite* spot in LA tied with Dodger Stadium with a cotton candy sky. This is such a blessing for the city 💙🩷🩵
