Plans for 8,400 new homes at San Ramon’s Bishop Ranch is an ambitious pivot that reflects a broader reckoning with the struggles of the suburban American office park in the remote work era.

I am a great believer in St. Teresa's warning that more tears are shed over answered prayers
Sometime we take the paths we choose and other times the paths were given and we'll never know which one is better til we get there. 🙇
Many paths I've be given have taken me places I certainly didn't mind being! 😊

So, Michele is my friend and we argue this all the time. But gonna say this again: "They control a media ecosystem and are better at messaging" is not enough. Complaining about the other guy's strengths isn't a strategy. You must counter those strengths./1
No, but "ignoring the huge imbalance in the info space and hoping no Dem councilman in San Franciso never says anything that Fox and Twitter can run with"
isn't a strategy, either.
I haven't seen ANY strategy opinion pieces that tackle the "much bigger megaphone" problem. That's the one we need.

But not every issue is of equal importance. Dems are like a parliamentary coalition constantly terrified of losing their smallest partners. The GOP has long been better at enforcing party discipline among its base because they explain the stakes - yes, sure, sometimes lying - in plain language.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.
The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

A government that operates in fear of exposure—that kills citizens it finds politically inconvenient—is no government at all. It betrays 250 years of American blood spilled in service of the ideals it seeks to destroy.

We are likely to see $6,000 in 2026, though I expect the climb to be a lot more volatile from here for the reasons cited in earlier posts.

I have something coming about today and the military shortly. Stand by.
Under these conditions I don’t think the military would follow these orders. The National Guard certainly won’t.

It seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

At this point, has America ever had a more embarrassing moment on the global stage in our history? I certainly can’t think of one.
