America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.
President Trump will issue a plan next week for letting Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment on a home, a senior White House official said Friday.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

To put this in clearer perspective, when Bowser took office in 2015, there were 26 road fatalities the previous year. Last year there were 25 fatalities. In ten years of holding office, Bowser hasn’t meaningfully improved the road fatality rate.
In 2025, DC had the lowest number of roadway fatalities since 2014.
Big picture:
1. Roadway fatalities: -52%
2. Major roadway injuries: -29%
3. Driver fatalities: -67%
Our strategies to improve traffic safety are working.

I grew up as a hippie-loathing, cynical Gen X music fan.
In my late 30s I faced the abyss of depression — and found the Dead.
Thank you Bob Weir, for helping me hop on the bus. My life's better for it.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Grateful Dead
I was once repulsed by the band’s music, fans, and hippie iconography—but at the lowest point of my life, I got on the bus and never looked back.

A friend of mine is a cop who was once run over by a suspect’s car. I texted him and asked him to tell me that story again and if he’d mind sharing what he thought about the killing of Renee Good. He gave me permission to share with you what he texted back.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

I know there’s a lot going on in the world right now. But this spectacular fallout between Saudi and UAE is going to reshape the region and impact events beyond.
It’s hard to overstate the Saudi anger at the UAE that’s expressed by revealing step-by-step details + officer names in the UAE operation
