Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.
The Supreme Court:
i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals
The number of doors I knocked in my district who told me they were going to vote for Trump because he would get us - and keep us out of wars cannot be understated.
More housing = lower rents for everyone
The only way out of the #CThousingcrisis is to build our ass off. The goal should be to 5x our current building rate, we are short 250,000 homes in Connecticut alone
Building at present 5k homes per year = a perpetual simmering crisis
Toured a couple of awesome Biotech companies. Unfortunately, Trump has kneecapped this industry. Connecticut has an opportunity here.
Turns out, acting to solve the housing crisis is extremely popular. The discomfort of being yelled at by 7 people on a Tuesday night <> political liability

"While anti-housing politics can win in public meetings where land-use decisions are made by a small group of similarly minded people, state-level policymakers who reform this system have maintained & gained popularity by representing a broader... constituency."

Because Republicans don't actually care about addiction. They just needed an excuse to deport hard-working, law-abiding immigrants

First slide is a “Governor Breaking News” graphic showing an outlined image of Governor Jared Polis speaking over a collage background of housing and a Pew Charitable Trust article clipping. White text reads: “Governor Polis, State Legislators: Housing Analysis Showing More Housing Built Increases Options and Saves Coloradans Money.” The Colorado Governor’s “C” logo appears in the bottom right corner.
Article clipping from the Pew Charitable Trust with text next to it reading, “findings from an analysis done by the Pew Charitable Trust found that not allowing for more homes to be built pushes up rent prices across the board and increases hardships on low-income residents and neighborhoods.”
White text on a black background reading: “The analysis stated the U.S. faces a shortage of 4 million to 7 million homes due to restrictive zoning ordinances.” Below the text is an image of affordable houses tinted in purple and green, with the Colorado Governor’s “C” logo in the corner.
White text on black background reads: “Colorado is lowering housing costs and removing government barriers. Governor Polis signed landmark laws to allow more housing near transit, cut red tape, and expand options like ADUs, transit-oriented communities, starter condos, and smart-stair apartments, while ending discriminatory occupancy limits and costly parking requirements.
A new @pewtrusts.org analysis shows restrictive zoning drives up rent and worsens hardships. The U.S. is short 4–7M homes. Breaking down barriers—like parking mandates and outdated zoning—can lower costs and help more Coloradans achieve homeownership.

An Afghan interpreter came to Connecticut last year because he feared the Taliban, @blumenthal.senate.gov said Tuesday.
Now he faces possible deportation back to Afghanistan. It's an "abhorrent violation of basic decency," Blumenthal said.

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing.
Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.
“I don’t care how much you love working people. They can’t afford a house because all the rules in your state make it prohibitive to build. And zoning prevents multifamily structures because of NIMBY,” [Obama] said. www.cnn.com/2025/07/14/p...
"The Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction—Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination”—had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency."

I grew up with Republicans lying about how Democrats are baby killers and setting up death panels for grandma
Now Republicans are just out here gleefully actually doing that
The next year of local news will be constant state budget fights as the GOP federal budget's draconian cuts hit and state legislatures and Governors determine who to tax more, what programs to cut, and who to let die
What a horrible way to report this. Republicans want to cut food assistance plain and simple. That's how they voted. We're a decade into Trump and we're still reporting what liars say out loud like a bunch of chumps

Red states, blue states and purple states can get housing reform done. Just not in Connecticut.
