One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

Lower Treasury rates are generally better for the economy, but (1) this is a confession they have no "affordability" plan at all, and (2) they haven't made much progress on rates anyway, 10-year still >4%.
Republicans' real "affordability" plan is to blow up the data agencies then lie about it.

Here’s a great example of Homeland Security and Tricia McLaughlin propaganda not being true. They’re going around claiming credit for Chicago experiencing the fewest summer murders since 1965. That was true and reported locally before Midway Blitz even began.

Josh’s post is worth reading in its entirety. The points:
1) kill the filibuster
2) court reform
3) DC/PR statehood
4) clean up laws on presidential power
5) outlaw extreme gerrymandering
These strike me as a really good starting point of foundational necessities.
