If you’re in Charlotte and/or you care about public transportation, sustainable growth, or affordable housing, you should check out Wil Russell’s campaign for District 4 on the City Council. Early voting starts Aug. 21st and the primary election is Sept. 9! #CLTPol #NCPol #cltcc
Mandela Barnes and Cheri Beasley should’ve been there :/
Senate Democrats stand together 💪
“Who was president in which year?” is one of the central questions of American politics. Epstein aside, much of conservative politics hinges on the idea that Obama was responsible for the economic collapse of 2008 while Joe Biden caused the many problems of 2020.
Mullin: "In 2009 there was sweetheart plea deal that was made under the Obama administration with Epstein." Tapper: "No, that's not right. It was 2008. The U.S. Attorney at the time was Alex Acosta. He was a Bush appointee He went on to become President Trump's Secretary of…
CBS becomes the first major US broadcaster to be controlled by the US government. Putinisation continues apace.
Trump's FCC Chair says he will put a "bias monitor" in place who will "report directly" to Trump as part of the deal for Sky Dance to acquire CBS
Former Gov. Roy Cooper at tonight’s NC Dems Unity Dinner: “If you are running for office, please stand up.” *applause* “As you may notice, I’m not sitting down* *enormous, rapturous applause* Let’s do this 💪
This is a national crisis. If Congress doesn’t act, health insurance premiums will skyrocket next year because of the GOP tax bill. In some cases, they’ll double overnight. Congress must pass the Health Care Affordability Act ASAP.
Good Lord. Those poor souls
Awful: 6 killed, 1 injured in crash that closed section of I-485, officials say wsoctv.com/news/local/fat…
With Roy Cooper running for Senate I think it’s worth pointing out how much the country has changed on the one issue that single handily won him the governorship nearly 10 years ago
Why did Ohio fire Sherrod Brown. He’s pro worker He’s pro union He’s anti Wall Street…… He check every box you progressives like. Is he’s a centrist now?

Shapiro is not why septa is facing a crisis, and his insistence on it is probably why the state budget is overdue. He came to septa’s aid last year by flexing highway funding, and of the three main budget negotiators he’s the one with the least blame for cuts. That said, GSD Gov
Zohran Mamdani would fund the MTA unlike Josh Shapiro who is allowing SEPTA funding to be cut.
We really need a nationwide effort to bring back the main streets of small towns all across the country.
Livingston, Montana, tonight.
It's the Mason Dixon line, literally that's where the south starts.
Personally I think the South starts where the DC suburbs end.
This is what 6 months of woke can do to you

One of the most under-talked about issues in NJ politics is the fact that Jersey City is guaranteed to replace a YIMBY Mayor with… something else. That will put significant pressures on the rest of Hudson County and, frankly, Northern NJ to meet demand. Jersey City’s growth has…
I want to talk about the state of the Jersey City mayoral race, mostly with respect to housing/urban issues, and why some of my friends are feeling discouraged.
just deeply disappointing to see More Perfect Union blatantly lying that building more market rate housing *causes* homelessness instead of preventing it. Austin is one of the few places in America where rents actually *fell* because it built so much housing!
Billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are trying to destroy affordable housing in Austin and replace it with luxury condos. In a city where evictions are at record highs and homelessness is skyrocketing, residents have had enough. Now, they're fighting back.
