We heard COUNTLESS bullshit coverage that Biden was ignoring North Carolina when the administration was doing everything in it's power to help. Trump openly does it, crickets.

Trump suggests FEMAâs future is in doubt: âIt gets in the wayâ
The new president doesnât appear interested in overhauling or reforming FEMA, only in eliminating the agency altogether.

On Martin Luther King Day itâs important to not just remember the man, his message, and his work; but to carry on that legacy and remove inequalities, to remove barriers, to remove injustice and build a better world where more people can thrive. Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone

I am so proud of my husband for serving Annapolis and now potentially serving our state as a Delegate. His deep empathy and sense of justice are what drew me to him years ago and what I continue to admire about him. Brooks is someone who runs for office for the right reason: to help others.

Few things are as pretty as Annapolis in the snow! But be sure to drive a little slower tonight and bundle up! Travel times are not at this moment significantly impacted but road conditions are wet and a little slippery.

"With housing, demand is largely invisible, while supply is not just visibleâit appears to be all around us. This makes the reality that demand is greater than supply counterintuitive."

1 in 5 people spend all of the income in rent. All of it. 100%. This is why more people have nowhere to live but outside, not because people choose to be homeless or because cities don't have enough laws or police to punish homeless folks. Data via new @Redfin report.

I'm sorry but as a relatively new (coming up on three years) townhome owner I simply cannot imagine turning around and making it a personal goal to keep other people from owning townhomes too.

Being an Alderman is interesting because sometimes youâre in a three hour meeting about land use and other times youâre getting an 8:30 pm call about a broken water line in 35 degree weather.

Let's have an arc on zoning. Darth Vader, head in his hands: Go over this for me one more time. Why can't we just put the coffee shop next to the barracks? Low-level Imperial Bureaucrat, sweating: My Lord, it would ruin the character of the hallway!

The reason people are driving and not taking transit is the transit service quality â particularly frequency. If you want to get people shifting to transit, the highest leverage spending is on making the service better

The right-wing attack dogs have filed to sink their teeth into Gov. Tim Walz, despite several different attempts. What is it that bugs them so much about him, to the point where theyâd rather go after him than Kamala Harris? I explore this in my piece today, link in the replies.
