EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

The Great Khan endorses the Senate push to block Israeli arms sales. To give a sense of how monumental this is: Pritzker isn’t just a prominent Jewish politician, he was an AIPAC board member. This is a real act of political courage.
Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.

Donald Trump and Republicans are pushing illegal maps that violate the Voting Rights Act.
Instead, Congress should pass fair, independent maps nationwide. Without that, Democratic states must consider all the options to protect our constitutional republic.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Put another way, when there are lots of vacant apartments, landlords have to compete with each other to attract tenants. When there are few vacant apartments, tenants compete for them.
It'd be pretty extraordinary if this relationship did *not* generally hold.

Rent growth is inversely correlated to vacancy rates. You see it everywhere, all the time.

A YIMBY Theory of Power
Pro-housing advocates offer an analysis of class relations that is more sophisticated and has more explanatory power than the one held by many critics of the “abundance agenda.”

it is, effectively, a view that nothing should be done to solve any problem if there might be a trade-off somewhere for someone who you could code as “marginalized.” it is just anti-government conservatism with a different aesthetic!
