In case y'all missed it, in Texas it's now legal for eligible people to openly carry a gun without a license, background check, or safety training. Taken together with the abortion laws, this is what a return to vigilante politics looks like. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

OpenTable reservations began to fall in D.C. days before Bowser's order to close in-restaurant dining, and reservations fell faster in D.C. than they did nationally. Via @FullerInstitute:

The most insane driving behavior I occasionally see is when I stop for a pedestrian at a crosswalk and the driver behind me doesn't see them, so they cross into the opposing lane to drive around me
Have you tried our signature flat white at Dolan Coffee yet? It's a creamy and delicious drink that's a customer favorite. 😍 📍3518 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington DC #clevelandpark #dmvcoffee #halal #illycoffee #cleparkmainstdc #espresso #italiancoffee #dolanuyghurcoffee
I dare you to tell me things are healthy and normal with American democracy when Reps and Senators are deciding how to vote based on the credible fear that their own party's extremists might murder their families if they vote the wrong way (from the Romney bio)
@JustinWolfers @greg_ip I'm more sophisticated than the typical normie but my immediate reaction every time I'm in the supermarket is to be shocked at the prices. I know that is mostly (but not entirely) wrong but takes a conscious effort to remind myself of that.
An economist looks at this and says hey, grocery prices aren't adding to inflation any longer. A normie looks at this and says hey groceries still are 17% more expensive than 2 years ago. Why aren't they going down?
Reminder: at current rates it will take longer for DC to build bike lanes on Connecticut Ave NW than it did for the US to land astronauts on the Moon.
"Save our businesses! They need customer parking," a demonstrator shouted into a bull horn as others held up signs toward the passing traffic. wtop.com/dc/2023/09/bik…

The #ChildTaxCredit helped working families afford all the extra costs of raising kids. It made their hard work pay off a little more, allowing them to afford child care, clothing, & basic necessities. We need to restore this tax cut for families. npr.org/2023/09/12/119…
Such very sad news out of Alaska this morning. Thinking of Congresswoman Peltola and her family as they morn the loss of Mary’s husband, Eugene Peltola.
@NCPSSM @kathleenromig @HarkinAtDrake @CenterOnBudget Raise the cap to increase revenue!
New @uscensusbureau data show the largest one-year increase in history in overall poverty & child poverty in 2022, driven by the expiration of pandemic relief including the expanded #ChildTaxCredit. These data have important implications for #SNAP policy. cbpp.org/blog/analyzing…
The fight for marriage equality isn't over according to disability advocates. Disabled people who rely on programs like SSI face steep penalties if they choose to tie the knot. I wrote about it @19thnews. 19thnews.org/2023/09/disabi…
Many in the GOP want to raise the #SocialSecurity retirement age because "people are living longer." But @kathleenromig told the #HarkinRSS23 in DC today that while higher earners are living longer, most everyone else isn't. @HarkinAtDrake @CenterOnBudget
It’s been very encouraging to see—after policymakers forgot SSI existed for 30 years—an emerging bipartisan effort to make the means-testing (or really asset testing) less stringent. A $2000 asset limit is truly absurd
Today, we announced our plan to reform the SSI program so that disabled Americans do not have to choose between a better job & losing their safety net. A NOLA resident, Andrew Schlesinger, helped inspire this bill. This will help him & so many other Americans.
The limit should be repealed entirely, but going from $2k to $10k would be a massive step for recipients and it costs very little. And it would do all the things conservatives say they like: encourage saving, reduce marriage penalties, allow families to support each other
Very few people seem to know how insane the SSI limits are
Real question for a story I'm working on: Are women less likely to wear high heels these days?
This is absolutely a problem. I've been on these programs waiting for lung transplant and it's impossible to live under such constricting limits without support.
