check out my new piece on turning @wmata into megaregional social housing authority
Our decisionmakers should take up the mantle of regional megaprojects in the public interest once again, and apply the Great Society feeling that the region successfully stirred up for mid-century transportation planning to today’s housing crisis: ggwash.org/view/98570/after-…

huge catastrophe for Democrats, who may now have to do something
Hakeem Jeffries: “This is not a partisan moment. This is a patriotic moment. This is not a blue moment or a red moment. It’s a red, white and blue moment because American has won tonight."

Of all the people the DSA could have chosen to host its official election night livestream, it chose Hasan Piker, someone who proudly expresses support for terrorist organizations and traffics in antisemitism. Let that sink in. The DSA isn't distancing itself from this kind of rhetoric. It's elevating it. When someone tells you who they are, believe them: adl.org/resources/article/ha…

If God is in charge, why did he let our country get taken over by Muslims and communists? Something for people to think about.

shameless, honestly. just zero sense of shame
It's been good for fundraising and media attention, but next week Republicans are going to realize that it was a mistake to center their attacks on El-Sayed so heavily on Israel where public opinion has become very left-wing rather than just talk about energy & crime & taxes.

El-Sayed hasn't even won yet but he's gotten Trump to start pretending to be against Israel aid. This shows the potency of Israel/Palestine as a wedge issue against GOP.
President Trump on U.S. aid to Israel: "We were giving them $4 billion. We are. But it gets cut off at the end of the year. Why? Because they don't need it. "Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don't need it? It's a bad talking point."

So @JeffreyGoldberg blocked me after I posted the tweet below. No discussion. No apology. No acknowledgment that some of his @TheAtlantic writers are peddling textbook Islamophobia as it surges, helping to endanger millions of Americans. A thin-skinned coward enabling bigotry.
Come on, @JeffreyGoldberg. This is just open, unalloyed Islamophobia by your @TheAtlantic staff. Have you no journalistic integrity or common decency?

Interesting civil war going on rn between liberal zionists who (1) think they should openly break to the GOP and become explicit racists and (2) media brokers like Goldberg whose job is polishing the Israel polity turd for liberals who view themselves as humane and sophisticated

Turns out it's "fake news" that Fannie/Freddie will pause loans due to NYC rent freeze, per @pulte, FHFA director. But the reporting gave the anti-regulation set a day of smug frenzy about the perils of the freeze...
This is Fake News as Fannie and Freddie are continuing to lend. What nonsense.

Replying to @AshleySchapitl
We don’t disagree on that. Our current “pragmatic,” moderate Mayor terribly mismanaged our budget and I’m excited for some good “DSA-type” governance to end patronage and corruption, make our services more effective, and make sure our tax dollars go further.
