I still want to hear more about why Le Pen wanted to *ban* wind turbines and solar panels — American politics is a carnival of weirdos but I think nobody takes that position here?

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

You love to see it. At a time when building materials and labor are in short supply, making regulatory changes that allow for more construction of the most resource-efficient type of housing is more important than ever. https://t.co/gXxQgAZjdr

Joey Politano @JosephPolitano

America is building more multifamily housing than it has in more than 30 years! https://t.co/4r0MPM8QxF

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Yeah this is wrong https://t.co/cEeFfH8ndD

Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin

i'm sorry but this is insane https://t.co/xmmwFKcYds https://t.co/6TNVSY6woE

Timothy B. Lee @binarybits

I wonder about this. I think @AlanMCole is articulating what would have been considered textbook economics a few years ago. Now a lot of people seem to think the Fed raising rates by 0.25 percent every meeting is quite hawkish. I dunno. fullstackeconomics.com/we-still-arent…

America's state capacity is higher than people think

Lara Seligman @laraseligman

The Howitzers POTUS approved to send to Ukraine on Thursday were already showing up in country on Saturday, Austin says - "unimaginable speed"

Jimmy @JimmySecUK

Seeing all these Chinese DJI drones being used by both sides in Ukraine makes it incredibly clear that having a domestic civilian UAV industry is a critical strategic manufacturing capability - in the same way steelworks were a hundred years ago.

Ari Cohn @AriCohn

"Worth" is doing a LOT of work here

Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru

BREAKING: The official Bored Ape Yacht Club Instagram account has been hacked and millions worth of NFTs have reportedly been stolen.

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I don’t think you need to be a hater or even really a Tesla skeptic to think this is odd.

These McConnell quotes on Trump, hours after the Jan. 6 attack 👀

Post Politics @postpolitics

‘Exhilarated’ McConnell said Jan. 6 ‘discredited’ Trump, book says https://t.co/11zJfhngoJ

To be clear, I support developers of all sizes — whether big or small those working to increase the supply of urban infill housing are practicing an honorable trade. https://t.co/qWsGEdAc63

Adam Green @AdamGreen

Today, @jbarro called me an asshole and @mattyglesias picked a fight with me on behalf of big developers -- both arguing for the privatization of public land. Fitting dumpster fire as the keys to Twitter get handed to @elonmusk. How's your day going?
