I’m at the launch of Oregon’s design competition for sunlight suite buildings - neighborhood-scale mulifamily buildings designed around one central staircase.

“This is one of those innovations whose time has come,” says Gil Kelley of @1000oregon.bsky.social.

Mike Johnson is asked about the delay in swearing in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva: "Bless her heart. She's a representative elect. She doesn't know how it works around here."

Grijalva: "Yesterday, my race was certified, and so that's how things work. Your job is to swear me in."

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs.

By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

Devastating numbers for Trump in Economist/YouGov poll:
➡️Economy is fair/poor (71%), not excellent/good (27%)
➡️Economy is getting worse (54%), not better (23%)
➡️Trump (57%), not Biden (22%), is more responsible for it.
➡️62% disapprove of his handling of inflation/prices, 55% on jobs/the economy.

this polling data on the importance of college education is a pretty massive shift in 10 years. by all demographic groups

the implications could be pretty huge
Wow, it’s not just that people think a college education is significantly less important than just 12 years ago - but that change in attitudes is broad, across all groups

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Charlie Kirk in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment."

He was wrong. No child, no moviegoer and no conservative commentator should have to die to maintain this perverted notion of the 2nd Amendment.

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…
