Democrats run some of the wealthiest states in the richest country on earth, but we fail at the most basic task of human society: building enough homes. If we can’t solve this in places we govern, it’s no wonder voters are losing faith in the party.
“Democrats must distinguish ourselves as the party of results by focusing on governing well in the places where we hold power. That will mean reckoning with our past failures.” @scottwiener.bsky.social

We're at the start of a new private equity X venture capital supercyle:
Whether it’s PE funds buying venture backed companies, venture funds launching PE strategies, or startups using PE-like approaches to buy their customers, something big is going on.

‘Everybody Is Drinking Guinness.’ We Know Why.
Guinness, the beer of Irish pubs and Irish men, has endeared itself to chug-happy Americans eager to “split the ‘G.’”

AFAIK the case for presidential pardons is that the justice system is imperfect (sometimes slow, arbitrary, cruel). So the president is a safety valve to spare people in exceptional circumstances from those harms.
That’s a great case for reform and a terrible case for unlimited, unilateral pardons

Absolutely insane that private commercial trash collection happens in the middle of the night (midnight-4am) with ICE trucks stopping and starting. Unbelievable persistent noise nuisance that could easily be solved with EVs.

It’s not literally true but afaik DJF only did the seed round - $500k for crazy idea seems fine. The big black eye of fraud and no DD came later. But also also Tim Draper clearly lent her his name and enabled her. So basically, it’s complicated.
