Do my parents need to report income they got in 2025 from the drug prices that were reduced by 500% this year?

#AI helped me improve the design of these guys this year. No joke.

Half the country says the key to making America great is kicking out all the immigrants and the other half says we just need to tax billionaires.

And I'm stuck here in the middle with you.

Seems like this should be a bigger news story.

If the LLM models and tooling continue to improve, I suspect @manifest.ly will increase spending on #AI APIs by 5-10x in 2026.

We increased our spending in 2025 by 9x over 2024.

We increased our spending in 2024 by 8x over 2023.

We first subscribed to the OpenAI API in December of 2022.

Mamdani is making some good moves wrt housing and my pessimism is changing to optimism regarding his ability to lead NYC. And Kate Willett losing her mind is a cherry on top.
Paul’s at the forefront of American housing policy. Tying together YIMBYism, public finance, and public development, he’s building *the model* for American social housing.

Now he’s been appointed to Zohran’s Transition Committee on Housing. We at @publicenterprise.bsky.social couldn’t be prouder!

This is good.
Absolutely screaming with excitement at @annemariegray.bsky.social of @opennewyork.org being named to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's housing transition committee.

So well-earned by Annemarie & such a good sign for the Mamdani administration.
We’re here in Central Park with Mayor-Elect @ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social to announce that our Executive Director @AnnemarieGray.bsky.social will be joining his transition committee on housing!

This is one of Matt's things and maybe his biggest/best/most important. 🏗️🏡
The simple fact is that YIMBY policy needs UI finance reform to succeed.
Me: “This YIMBY policy is very good but changes seem more incremental than transformative”

YIMBYs: “WHY DO YOU HATE YIMBYISM”

Young people in congress can hear the message, the olds don't seem to be hearing it.
There’s this inherent tension between the Pelosi-era Dem view of “Our unity is our strength” and the message from voters that Dems need to change.

I’ve noticed unusually many references to the ‘Epstein resolution’ (just one example ⬇️). Where did that come from? It is a bill, not a resolution.
You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

It's good to see Rep. Perez provide some leadership for the Democrats. My representative @pocan.house.gov failed in his duty to let voters decide elections, not politicians. Pathetic and tone deaf on his part.

Was looking at pickup truck listings and one of them had this.

"Bought thinking it was a 4x4, but it is a 2x4"

I have questions.

These goobers are the absolute dumbest people in congress.
NEW: Progressive Caucus members discussing a retaliatory measure against Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez for her efforts to rebuke Rep. Chuy García, @axios.com has learned.

The measure would accuse MGP of violating her no corporate PAC pledge, sources tell me. www.axios.com/2025/11/18/m...
Scoop: House Democrats' infighting is poised to get even worse

"Meet me in Temecula"
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Hanging in the DR (surfing) and this little Ukranian/Russian shop sells Riga Smoked Sprats Pate and OMG! So good. I must track this stuff down in the states.

I think markets might be a bit more efficient than this.
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet
