In Response to Emily No all the J6ers were given fair punishment

The idea that J6ers were treated unfairly is pure cope. They travelled planned and participated in it. They earned what they got

Building permits slow to a trickle for Boston housing construction. Are the city’s policies to blame?

If you believe the City is to blame you can contact Mayors office and council members.

Should federal government help fund NYC and NYS 9/11 related pension obligations?

So this might be controversial but relates to HR 9539
Essentially both NYC and NYS pension funds have obligations that run into billions of dollars relating to 9/11 in particular among first responders who assisted in the Ground Zero Cleanup. At the time the EPA claimed the air was safe and did not provide emergency workers proper protection. This has led to thousands of NYC/NYS workers having to retire early on disability pensions. This hits both funds heavily as disability payouts are higher and workers retiring early are paying into the system for less years. Should the federal government assist in this case especially as EPA at the time told the workers the air was safe in lower Manhattan?

Has anyone mapped presidential approval to midterm results and how they will likely correlate this cycle?

So its pretty safe to assume that the higher the net negative in approval the worse a president’s party does in Midterms. How good of an indicator will this be?

Also barring an insanely competent federal response to a crisis what are odds Trump’s approval goes up by net +5 before midterms?

Where the Epstein files mishandled in this term?

It seems like to me that the Epstein files would have been less of an issue if instead of trying to resit releasing them the files were just released. Ideally over a period of months to retract names of victims but over a few months. The stance taken of trying to hold off on resisting and the whole  Epstein Files Transparency Act seems to have been more of a Stresisand effect around the whole thing.

Pretty interesting to play around with. You can basically project how many senate seats will be won by either party based on national environment of midterm. If national environment is D+10 or above Dems will at minimum get to 50 senate seats and things get uglier fast. Based on recent special elections this seems possible. Curious how Trump's drop in approval along with Dems over performance in special translate to what national vote share becomes.

Channel link if you havent seen it

In general I like the type of content being provided. It brings awareness to a lot of the work MassDOT around the state. With that said I wish he had the budget to file FOIA and investigate the projects as well to see if there are any problems etc.
