I would love to see this work at keeping housing costs down. Hope they follow it with a study to see effects.
Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.

The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.

Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.
With new ordinance, Santa Fe becomes first city to tie minimum wage to rental costs
SANTA FE — The Santa Fe City Council voted on Wednesday to raise its minimum wage from $15 an hour to $17.50 in 2027, eliciting praise from workers’ rights advocates

I have been saying this for decades. Health care should not be for profit and basic human rights of any kind should not be part of the capitalist machinery.

Epstein’s key conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 and charged with crimes of enticement of minors and trafficking of underage girls.

Additional charges were added later including perjury, which required a separate trial.

She filed numerous appeals challenging her arrest

Grifters going to grift. And when it's on this scale, they will make sure they don't face real consequences for it.
For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

@sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us I find it disgraceful that you capitulated to the GOP with no guarantees on health care. You defeated the whole purpose of a united Democrate front. Yet again you prove yourself far more republican than democrate and I won't be voting for you again.

@senjackyrosen.govpeeps.us I am extremely angry that you capitulated to the GOP with no actual agreement on health care. I expected this kind of weakness from Senator Cortez-Masto, but you I expected so much more from. Neither of you will be getting my vote again.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

BREAKING: new racist Republican groupchat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Ingrassia’s texts include vile pro-Nazi & racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.

The White House is part of the National Park Service & protected by Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

Don't get me wrong: I do not care about the building. I care that this act states he is above the law & the people. It has the same message as his AI fighter jet shitpost.
I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
