The Hamilton agenda:
End Iran war
Rollback tariffs
Bipartisan health care reform
Unspecified immigration reform
Shore up Social Security trust fund
Reduce national debt
NEW: I spoke with Methodist-megapastor-turned-Senator-elect Adam Hamilton about how his win and his plans for his time in Congress.
He talked about immigration and health care reform, as well as “via media,” the theological concept of a middle way. religionnews.com/2026/11/11/…

The gaps here are not all that large in the scheme of things but people who can’t tell the truth about it aren’t good people to entrust with power over complicated policy questions or political strategy.

If you ever feel braindead, just remember that 70% of "Medicare for All" supporters believe they will keep their current health insurance plan.

This is an insane choice. The vote was 106-73.
Between Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and minority leader Jim Jordan, one does not get the sense the GOP learned literally anything at all.

Turning Point is a group designed to attract people who think politics began in 2016.

Got this text unprompted from a friend who's a liberal influencer.
Anti-BAAJA groups are offering tens of thousands of dollars to moderately-sized accounts to spread anti-BAAJA talking points. I've almost never seen anything like this.

"a certain kind of environmentalist will tell you we have ten years to decarbonize and then defend a review process that uses seven of them."

Asshole local governments are retaliating against the voters for approving Amendment 3 by threatening to cut important projects.
Cut your damn staff and salaries and cut the waste at the sheriff’s offices.
Myriad examples have been given over the last six months.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
When you cut taxes, you have less money to spend on services. That’s how budgets work. Prop 3 will result in a recurring $12 billion loss for local governments.

BREAKING: Reindustrialization goes nuclear. America approves its first advanced nuclear facility at an industrial site, a major Dow chemical manufacturing plant in Texas.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved a construction permit for four X-energy Xe-100 reactors, designed to supply both electricity and high-temperature steam to Dow’s chemical manufacturing operations. Chemical production is traditionally a very energy-intensive process, requiring large amounts of electricity and heat.
This marks the first U.S. construction permit for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nearly 60 years.

This data center nonsense is just the modern day nuclear power debate: a bunch of alarmists are gonna set us back 30 years because they fell for misinformation, again!

It's interesting that many people who love sharing this chart are also skeptical of hedonic quality adjustments to the CPI

Trump doesn't get it... Once BAAJA passes into law approvals won't be up to him anymore!
That's the whole point of the Certainty Title
He can complain about wind all he wants --> If the abuse continues developers will just take agencies to court and win

This is also one of the two biggest reasons I hate the modern Republican Party. This is so underdiscussed.

I’m Susana Mendoza and I’m running for Mayor of Chicago.
I want to make Chicago more affordable by:
• Building more housing, faster.
• Leaning into innovative industries and creating more jobs for Chicagoans.
• Training Chicagoans for those jobs.
• And partnering with local communities to kickstart local business growth.
How do I know I can do it? Because I have the trifecta of experience as State Rep, City Clerk, and State Comptroller.
I’m ALL IN, Chicago!

NIMBYs don't want environmental reviews that arrive at an answer quickly because raising the timeline and cost of a project is the whole point. But if you believe in bringing investment into the city, then getting to yes/no as quickly as possible is crucial.

This is the best reason to pass BAAJA: we can’t possibly decarbonize by the 2040s years if building a single electric transmission line takes 20 years
