"Years earlier, [Romney had] bumped into Zach Braff on a flight and the sitcom actor had given him a useful piece of advice: for most not-quite-A-list celebrities, a simple baseball cap and a pair of reading glasses were usually enough to avoid being spotted in public."
One of the countless gems from @mckaycoppins' ROMNEY: A RECKONING
sometimes think about how after losing the 2012 presidential election Mitt Romney went to Costco to shop incognito.

My piece on this talked about how some of the ill will directed toward Raman from the council is because she won't follow councilmember discretion on housing/land use decisions where Bass will politico.com/news/2026/10/20…

Padilla is the one you might remember from her bragging to @jonlovett about getting an affordable housing project reduced from 6 stories to 3
CM Padilla goes out of her way to repeatedly turn directly to CM Raman and speak of “betrayal…evil…ingratitude…and arrogance” in City Hall.

I suggest watching this Rick Steves visit to a goose farm before deciding this is such a horrible agricultural activity. piped.video/oq8f2Hg32ho?t=621&s…

Is this list well-tailored for Maine in a way that’s not obvious to me? It seems to me like Maine voters might even favor tariffs on paper products since they’re a major producer.
Trump is making tariff changes to shore up a Senate race -- Maine Senator Susan Collins, among the most endangered GOP senators in this cycle, announces that nine categories of products will be exempted from Trump's tariffs on Canada.

The ad has something for everyone: tennis haters can laugh about the hating on tennis, and guys who were ranked juniors get an opportunity to say they were ranked juniors
Lmaooooo what the fuck is up with all the sensitive tennis players in the comments. I am a lifelong tennis player and was a ranked junior and know it’s an ELITIST sport and always has been.

This is strange. I was told the foreign countries pay the tariffs, so why would this help in the election?
The U.S. is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections wsj.com/politics/policy/trum… via @WSJ

One of the fall back defenses people have made about @VivekGRamaswamy's ad attacking Acton is that Acton's mother just said she lied about living in a tent.

lol: Common Cause, a government "accountability" group, opposes Mayor Mamadani's proposal to let New York City issue sidewalk cafe permits without first holding public hearings, publishing notices, and surviving a City Council veto. cityandstateny.com/politics/…

Love these "Sunbelt developer comes to the coasts" stories
In Mamdani's NYC, DOB enforcement is tough but fair, clearing a stop work order after fixing violations w/in 24hrs
In Karen Bass' LA, they look for any unfair reason to stop housing & make it hard to do business
Clay Grubb is the rare Sun Belt-based apartment developer betting big on coastal cities like New York and Los Angeles and Oakland.
But building in coastal cities is nothing like building in the Sun Belt, as Clay explains in this week's episode.

it's interesting how this ad really leans into the douchebag visuals
#OHGov: Ohioans for Lower Costs is up on TV with this spot hitting R candidate Vivek Ramaswamy --
Nick Schatzki voiceover:
"He spent more than $1 million flying on private jets. His favorite sport is tennis. And he can't swing a bat for… well you get the idea. Vivek Ramaswamy, a con man"

The Hawaii version of the Fulton-Elliot Chelsea public housing demolition + rebuild looks amazing:
Brand new homes for Section 9 tenants currently in dilapidated units, plus massively expanding the number of low-income units, plus adding mixed-income rentals & market condos
2,400 homes, 10 towers: Ground broke today on Hawaiʻi's largest public housing redevelopment. What's planned for Mayor Wright Homes and when the first building opens ⬇️
