The @rdu_newliberals are hosting an Abundance in the Triangle event on August 10th from 2-4pm at the Workhub at DBCO.

Just installed the iOS 26 beta. Fairly certain at least 25% of the update is just “border-radius: 50%”

Worth remembering that in any other administration, a 15% tariff on our largest trade partner & some of our closest allies would be considered the worst trade war in more than a generation

Democrats won’t win battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin by promising “free everything.” That may work for democratic socialists like Zohran Mamdani in New York, but as Tim Ryan makes clear, victory requires a pragmatic agenda that rewards hard work.

While a 15% tariff is better than a 30% one, it still means a 15% higher cost on everything we buy from Europe, and it makes products made and grown in America less competitive overseas, hurting job growth here.

It takes a village to get a 9-ft chainsaw across the country. But it’s worth it to show D.C. our pride in hard work, the trades, and our timber heritage. Stevenson High is giving shop class the prestige it deserves – and this wouldn’t have been possible w/o help from some truly

trump today:

For Los Angeles to thrive, it must be committed to growth. For Los Angeles to grow, it must start learning to say “yes.” For Los Angeles to start saying “yes,” it must reckon with courage and optimism, not fear and hand-wringing.

Cat update since it’s been a while

I swear to god, all I want is a train to the United gates. Is that really too much to ask for Dulles Airport (IAD)?

We're hiring a fellow to work with our team in DC this fall! If you're interested in getting more involved with CNL, or center-left politics in general, this is a great opportunity for hands-on experience with advocacy, research, event planning and more. Link to apply is below!

Wild that there’s a significant portion of the urban left that would rather praise anti-urban conservatives for embracing Hokou, than build more housing

Is it that week already? Yes it is! Join us for our conversation with reason’s Christian Britschgi this Thursday at 7 p.m PST on Zoom. Be sure to also check out this week’s Rent Free in which Christian covers One Big Beautiful Housing Supply Bill.

When they were in DuPont, it genuinely took a minimum of 20 minutes for them to make orders during lunch time. Between that, and the ridiculous prices, it’s absolutely not worth it.

It is kinda funny how some people act like it’s some sort of devious trick to run a young insurgent campaign against an incumbent from the center rather than from the left. Like the Left has intellectual property rights over jump cuts and being young somehow

The mayor is stripping Palisades homeowners affected by the fires of their property rights, and being cheered on for doing it by a bunch of far right conspiritards who think the Palisades fire was a government-planned disaster to steal people's property. Huh!

Fresh research confirming new Class A residential housing supply exhibits the same "chain-of-address filtering" phenomenon we see in "flight to quality" Class A office supply: New Class A supply cuts rents in *old buildings* the most—not other Class A buildings!

Congratulations to the abundance movement for meeting Matt Stoller today
