There are few things legislators take *more* seriously than “wait, we got HOW many calls?”
This user has never worked in a leg office. It doesn’t take much to freak out electeds I promise.

Very eerie feeling like we’re on the edge of a cataclysmic meltdown but only a tiny slice of people and media seem to understand what’s happening. Real July 1914 vibes right now.

As someone who thinks "The Boys" — the show about psychopathic superheroes — captures our current political moment better than any other, I feel a weird sense of satisfaction that the biggest villain in all of this is turning out to be named "Vought"

I first made this prediction back in November, but I think commercial airline crashes may be a major crisis in Trump’s presidency. We haven’t had a plane go down in almost 20 years, but the close calls are rising. Americans aren’t prepared for them to start happening again
Did you vote for less airplane safety? Because that’s what Trump’s busy doing.

Not retroactive (yet), but this would invalidate the citizenship of much of the country. Most Americans likely trace their citizenship back — eventually — to birthright citizenship.
Some media characterizing Trump's order to end birthright citizenship as being about children born to undocumented immigrants. That understates how extreme this EO is. It also denies citizenship to kids born of immigrants here *legally* (on H1Bs, student visas, etc)

Yellow: housing-ready parcels (often entitled) where the only obstacle is financing. Blue: existing and planned rail transit. Red: existing and planned amenities. 3 major sports stadiums. 4 concert venues. Museums. Convention center. 1000x more livable than east Solano
