Trump has *already* spent the last 9.5 months impounding appropriated funds & via OBBA working with Republicans on the Hill to cut Medicaid (& more). Aspirationally, Trump's proposed HUD budget (e.g.) would cut even deeper. None of this is contingent on whom the voters elect to state/local office.
Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.
Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

During the first quarter, I wasn’t yet convinced that Game 7 of the World Series would end up being a more compelling watch than Wizards-Magic, but when facts change, opinions change. Hard to say how much of that shift to attribute to the Zards’ collapse as opposed to the merits of this game.

Worthwhile thread
I support proposals 2-4 on the NYC ballot, which would make it moderately easier adjust zoning for higher-density housing development. I have to say, seeing how controversial this is among people I know is giving me some new sympathy for the angry YIMBYs online.

My (fake) small sample size overreaction is that we now need to be worried about losing the pick because Kyshawn George has made the leap from below-replacement to top-15 player in the league.
Seriously though, he looks fantastic (but obviously is not a top-15 player in the league).
