From the Yale Youth Poll - note how much more young people care about housing. It's issue #3 in importance for them! (And since housing is most people's biggest expense, "affordability" is really another way of talking about housing.)

"In response to Trump's order, attorneys general in 21 states sued the administration.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire

they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is

nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”
🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

Before Trump started his 2nd term, incoming vp JD Vance said of the J6ers,
“Obviously, you should not be pardoned.”

But then President Tump reportedly lost patience during the review process
and said,
“Fuck it: release ’em all.”
Trump has granted clemency to more than 1,800 people – and some have been arrested again
President did not follow the usual review process, experts say, making it more likely they would commit other crimes

I have many complaints about Dem leadership but near the top of the list is their continual and unending embrace of Henry Cuellar, a guy who sucks and has always sucked

Pelosi went to the mat for this guy in primaries! he's awful! cut him loose!
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"
