We could provide a home for every homeless American, and have money left over.

Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.

UHC is the absolute worst, but BCBS is my personal nemesis.

And the way that we set that agenda is to start local! Join your local Club, run for precinct delegate, go to your State nominating convention, town halls & coffee hours. Talk to state senate, AG & local university board of regents candidates. Local is where you have leverage to start pushing.

I appreciate the Gibraltar City Council listening to residents concerns and taking this action. We should never be in a rush to build something that will have such a huge effect on our land, waterway, and community standard of living.

Incredibly disappointed in Michigan, and the absolute cowardice the administration has displayed over the last year.

100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money? Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

Anderson Cooper: β€œSo it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”

Answer: β€œYes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

We gotta give this one to the grassroots activists. I heard about data centers in some of my local town groups long before I ever heard it from an elected or candidate. (Shout out to Judy for being on this from the beginning!)

This is a Substack link, so don’t click through!!

But I wanted to highlight this polling, especially the last two slides that show that party strength and candidate strength is a big driver of voting.

Michiganders: MDOT signed a deal with CBP to let them install automated license plate readers on state land. This technology allows real-time tracking of people’s movements and whereabouts. It’s a disaster for our immigrant neighbors, and for our rights. Call and register your opposition. 1/2

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.
