Disinflation as policy: by-right environmental review and permitting of nuclear, solar, wind, transmission lines, and desalination on federal land. Do it.
They’re really out here telling a 10 year old to look at the benefit of having her rapist’s baby. https://t.co/Vih0iwRFsR

I think I'm very much on board with @perrybaconjr's idea that Democrats need their own contract with America, but not really because I think it will help tremendously with voters. The party just needs to figure out a set of things it actually agrees on, other than Trump bad.
I disagree with Manchin’s actions here.
But the framing of this as “one senator” holding up these ideas is profoundly misleading, the issue is that it’s Manchin *and fifty republicans* most of whom represent states less conservative than West Virginia.

Kudos to @Josh_Koehn at the @sfstandard for this deep dive into the San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ real estate and stock holdings. Interesting that those most opposed to market rate housing development own the most of it. sfstandard.com/politics/prope…
This is exactly right. Trump was the biggest threat to Japanese (and US) interests in Asia in my living memory. Abe was singularly skilled in managing his ego, unpredictability, and long-standing anti-Japanese bias.
