@warren.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov The ROAD to Housing Act could be a really great bill! But you need to change the 7-year disposition rule on build to rent, so you don't unintentionally *reduce* the number of new homes built!

That thread was wild.

East Central IL has been classified as being in Extreme Drought for months. We're actually getting some rain this week (although not enough to make up for our huge precipitation deficit), and I love listening to the rain and the thunder. I really missed this!
In the modern era, no American president has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. None.
She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point
Absolutely GOAT tweet.

Successful psychopaths are very good at imitating normal emotional responses, which they learn over decades of observing normal people. But when facing a novel situation, they have no such learning to rely on, and their jarringly cold responses reveal their hollow interiors.
