Cincinnati / Federal Politics. Pragmatic Progressive. Abundance Lib. YIMBY. Urbanist. Housing is good, actually. Maybe Twitter is real life?
It is fucking insane that the Secretary of Defense is at the beck and call of Libs of TikTok. When there is a major national defense emergency, remember this is what they spent their time doing.
All over it.
Where’s the lie?
WATCH: “Can you imagine if my dad did any of those things? Where the f*ck is @jaketapper?” Hunter Biden points to a few of the constant drumbeat of Trump gaffes that would’ve been treated as massive scandals had President Biden done them.
more democrats need to openly call Trump a pedophile
In this rant, Swollen Ankles says gas prices in California are "$8" Maybe he's talking about private jet fuel? He’s an expert on that … after all those flights with Jeffrey on the Lolita Express.
Banana republic
Simpson: Yes, we renamed the opera house at the Kennedy Center for the First Lady… an excellent way to recognize her support and commitment to promoting the arts
Here is my simple compromise for property tax relief for seniors: any proposal must include statewide zoning reform to make it legal to build dense housing How many seniors who advocate for another tax cut would be for this and how many would start talking about property values?
Next Democratic administration is going to have to be brave about rolling back these insane tax cuts Who is paying taxes at this point?? It’s so irresponsible.
NEW -- Trump says he is thinking about eliminating tax on capital gains on home sales.
Odds high they’re gonna trade leniency for a child sex trafficker in exchange for her false testimony exonerating Trump.
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
What are they hiding?
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
Biden arrogantly dropped out of the race
It's good to see that Hunter has taken some time to process the election, look inward, and hold himself accountable for how his family's insular, dare I say arrogant at times, approach to politics led to this catastrophic outcome we're all now living with.
This is an important step - the data backs up the importance of police visibility in preventing crime I would also love to see traffic enforcement downtown particularly on central parkway
Cincinnati police officers have begun their new patrol in Over-the-Rhine. Officers are asked to be visible on Vine and Main streets from Central Parkway to Liberty Street every day. Learn more about the details here: bit.ly/3GVkB78
Hi @nytimes I was led to believe this was the most important issue facing the country
Price of a pound ground beef 🟢 2022 - $4.50 🟤 2025 - $6.12 (New record) FRED
I disagree with Mehdi on a lot, but he deserves kudos for debating actual conservatives who disagree with him on *everything* rather than getting into circular firing squad debates with people who agree with him on 95 percent of issues More progressives (& libs) should do this
I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Below are some brief highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full eye-opening 'debate': youtube.com/watch?v=2S-WJN…
While I think it is terrifying that we live in a panopticon that can find you, beam your most embarrassing moment to hundreds of millions, & forget about you in the span of a week - this is fine CEO is one of those jobs where you have to be above reproach or really really good
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned following Coldplay concert incident.
Just an absolutely laughable move from the city that has had zero impact on safety and only inconvenienced law abiding citizens
The overnight weekend restriction of Red Bike & rental e-scooter use in OTR & downtown will continue thru the end of Aug. Their usage will be suspended every Friday & Saturday in these areas from 8pm-6am. Thank you to our partners for their commitment to a safe Cincinnati.
As I've chatted informally with people in the urban core about the annual summer crime spike, I keep hearing that they feel like they used to observe cops walking a beat, and now they do not.
If the markets are rational they will respond accordingly to the Fed chair being subject to a nakedly partisan witch hunt on the orders of the President, who has ended all pretensions of an independent DOJ
I am criminally referring Jerome Powell to the DOJ to investigate perjury regarding his crazy $2.5BN building.
Big Epstein news from Status: WSJ is working on new details about Trump’s relationship with Epstein, and Trump badly wants to stop it from being published. He reportedly called WSJ’s editor in chief to try and kill the story. (Paywall) status.news/p/wall-street-…
I am open to an explanation of how down zoning the city, and enhancing neighborhood level veto powers is going to result in more housing.
The developers I have spoken with view this as regressive thinking and its sad because I remember when the Charter Commitee embraced bold ideas. Charter supported a 1% sales tax increase that would of went to transit. Far cry from the stuff they talk about now.
