There’s more than one way for Democrats to connect with voters.
@SarahLongwell25 joins @AsteadWH and points to four Democrats — Jon Ossoff, Pete Buttigieg, Zohran Mamdani, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who are getting it right. Ossoff, Buttigieg, and AOC may or may not run in 2028 (Mamdani isn't eligible to run), but they show how different politics and styles can still deliver a compelling message.

“People accuse us of wanting people to live in undignified housing, but they just struggle to understand that it can be a perfectly fine option for many people at different points in their life.”

Cities spent decades banning cheap rooms for rent. Now a possible Supreme Court case and 'Golden Girls' bills are trying to bring them back.
I wrote about who's behind the push, from conservative legal orgs to progressive YIMBYs and the @AARP.

1) Flock is helping police departments do mass license-plate surveillance. This has led to abuses and calls for banning Flock-type cameras (a.k.a. automatic license-plate readers).
To clarify this debate, I dug into two questions:

*Can we prevent cops from using license-plate readers to stalk exes and dissidents by tightly regulating the technology?
My answers to both are: Quite possibly.
I go through the evidence in the piece. But will thread a couple points below:
