Let's break this down.
The median 1st time home buyer is now 40 yrs old.
Trump's brilliant idea means they won't own the home until they're 90, if they live that long.
Meanwhile, they're paying hundreds of thousands more interest to the bank, who keeps it if they die early. 1/

"It's not greedy to need food," cribbed from @lastweektonight.com, should be a rallying cry.
Tax free private jets is greed. Public tax levies on private sports stadiums is greed. Paying bribes to build a gold plated ballroom is greed.
Needing to eat to stay alive is not greed.

The thing about Prop 50 is I sincerely hope it gets repealed.
But only after Dems have used it, and in other states, to break the GOP's gerrymander, pass real reform, and implement indepent redistricting panels nationwide.
Onky then will it be time to retire it. Fight fire with fire.

In 1945, German prisoners of war at Camp Butner in NC were shown films of the atrocities the Nazis committed.
Many reacted in shame and disgust.
1000 of them burned their uniforms afterwards.
There will come a time when Republicans will have to face the atrocities they are sanctioning here.

Garden pepper harvest. Peppers are a fickle fruit. Last year our habaneros underperformed while the Carolina Reapers went crazy. This year, the exact opposite.

The country we fought our independence against because of their oppressive monarchy has done a better, more public, dare I say more noble job of holding a former prince accountable for Epstein connections than we have our own *president.
We traded their king for a worse one.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.
