"I keep seeing ppl say "Carney spent “$13B for 4,000 homes.. 3.25M/house!!" This is disingenuous.
That’s not what’s happening.
The $13B is seed money to launch the new fed housing agency. Which will run projects over yrs. And one of those 1st projects happens to be 4K homes."

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

Yes, Fox News, I have definitely texted the wrong person before. In fact, I've done it numerous times. The difference here is that my erroneous texts revolved around lunch details or sending an article to a friend -- not outlining attack plans that put our troops in grave danger. Hope this helps.

In 2020, I authored a paper "A Band-Aid Stops the Bleeding," highlighting the vital role of safe injection sites amid rising drug poisonings and overdoses. While temporary, SIS address urgent needs where comprehensive treatment options lack. I'm proud to have always advocated for addiction issues
