Good reporting on the ground in southern WV — “‘Enough devastation:’ Mingo, Logan residents worry about proposed power plants, data centers in West Virginia” From Caity westvirginiawatch.com/2025/09/02/eno…

.Governor Patrick Morrisey doesnt care but WV Nat'l Guard could be helping at home instead of this field trip to DC: Like reclaiming strip mines abandoned by Senator Jim Justice. Setting up clinics in rural counties losing their hospital. Or grocery distribution in food deserts like McDowell Co.

Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.

For those who dont know, violent crime is at a 50 year low in #Baltimore. No thanks to #Trump who cut federal contributions to the local strategies that have been working.

The irrationality & hypocracy of the Baltimore County #URDL: Why is an area just 15 min drive to job centers & walkable to ES, 2 grocery stores, bank & restaurants outside the URDL red line? Or conversely why is luxury housing on septic & commercial permitted? redf.in/Y8hEF0

" Live authentically." What is this nonsense from realtors pitching luxury McMansions on septic outside the Baltimore County #URDL development boundary to the top 10%? Are the rest of County residents within the #URDL not living authentically? redf.in/muGOxo

Building 1BR apartments … but not 3BRs is a *literal* chicken/egg problem It’s both cause & effect of declining fertility

8/ So here's how it would work. Nexstar/Sinclair pledge loyalty to Trump. He gives them control over America's local TV. And they act as his political enforcers, silencing his critics. But if we see the scheme, we can stop it. By mobilizing and speaking out.

Here's your regular reminder that they could guarantee SS for all by simply removing the income cap. Choosing to raise the retirement age instead is class war.

Hi. Big one here. Here is a list of what Donald Trump has spent (or committed to spend) in just 8 short months on ONLY vanity projects: •White House ballroom: $200,000,000 •Qatar plane retrofit: $400,000,000 •Rename Dept. of Defense to “Dept. of War”: $3,000,000,000 (could

If you're upset about Jimmy Kimmel being "canceled," I'm sure you were just as furious when you heard about Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross or Amber Ruffin or Karen Attiah or Jemele Hill Because Kimmel might still have a job if you were dlvr.it/TNB1tC

Rust Belt urbanist Pete Saunders hits on critique of insular coastal urbanists, YIMBYs & Abundance bros. Summed up by post by leading SF YIMBY: "I just want housing for me & my friends." Poor places & people, inequality & segregation get ignored yet at root of urban QoL issues

NEW: Kremlin insider statements continue to indicate that 1) Putin remains committed to his strategy that Russian forces will be able to win a war of attrition against Ukraine and the West, and 2) that the West has thus far failed to convince Putin to reevaluate his strategy.

Tom Homan indicated to FBI agents posing as businessmen he could help them win contracts if appointed to a position in the Trump administration. DOJ officials shut down the investigation in early 2025.

99% of Boston’s residential parcels could not be rebuilt today under our modern regulatory framework. This holds true across many Northeast cities and towns. Our regulations prevent the very places we cherish today.

This is just an objectively crazy thing to say

Miller plagiarized from two Goebbles speeches: 1930 funeral of Horst Wessel and 1932’s A Storm is Coming. Not new for Miller. He’s cribbed lines from propagandist Goebbles numerous times.

Fresh after gushing over Trump in a fan boy performance that would make even John Harbaugh blush, Scottie Scheffler is 0-4 after Day 2 of Ryder Cup. Everthing Trump touches dies.

It's funny, but we ~basically ran a survey of thousands of Americans to show something that we ALL intuitively knew was true: Younger families (and even just people who are open to having kids!) want homes with more bedrooms, even if they're smaller.

Must read thread on ignored aspect of housing crisis--lack of housing for families. Almost all new market rate & affordable units are studio/1BR. Yet evidence clear that safe, stable, affordable housing in healthy n-hoods is critical to sound child development & life long health,
