When I set out to do a podcast, it was exactly episodes like this one I was thinking about that made me want to do it.

Listen to the intro for my confession about my feelings about housing policy. (How’s that for a tease!)
Here's the thing: Americans are *obsessed* with real estate and yet know *nothing* about housing policy. But it's housing policy that creates the neighborhoods we live in.
More than any other single policy; it was housing policy that created our modern version of segregation, the racial wealth gap and concentrated areas of "inner city" poverty. What we think of as "cities" and "suburbs", "good areas" and "bad neighborhoods"
Segregation, gentrification, high rises, projects, luxury condos, etc... It's all built atop an intensely engineered set of policies and subsidies and government incentives and restrictions.
By and large those structures are *invisible* to most people, which is a big part of why they are so powerful.

We talk about all of it here:

Serious question: is there actuall proposed legislative language about what "The Wall" is and/or what the 5.6 billion would go towards that the WH has drafted? Like, what does the bill text for that appropriation look like?
OK, so here's the legislative language from the House version. HR 695 SEC 141, ready for this?
"Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, there is appropriated for ‘U.S. Customs and Border Protection—Procurement, Construction, and Improvements’ $5,710,357,000 for fiscal year 2019, to remain available until September 30, 2023."

And freshmen members @XochforCongress and @JoeNeguse (who are both fascinating figures from very different districts)

Here watching the ceremonial swearing in in House. What’s *really* striking is the diversity of the new class, and how it contrasts with the other party. It’s this constant, clear, visceral reminder of the state of the two coalitions.
And then there's this:
And this stat:

In 1987, there were 11 GOP women in Congress.
In 2019, there are 13

Let me explain the former #Republican Congressman Curt Weldon whom I explained to @MuellerSheWrote that Special Counsel Mueller is now investigating as part of the #TrumpRussia probe as the author of the "back channel peace plan."

#Listen: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mue…
FYI: The New York Times broke the story about a secret, back-channel peace plan from Ukrainian lawmaker Andrii Artemenko to Felix Sater to Michael Cohen and thereon being delivered to Gen. Flynn the NSA at the White House early in the Trump Administration

nytimes.com/2017/02/19/us/…
Curt Weldon wrote that Ukrainian-Russian "peace plan" with a Manafort-connected Ukrainian oligarch Alexander Rovt, for the war in which Putin is an aggressor in Feb. 2016 and @patrickLSimpson published it as a byproduct of our #GrandOldPutinParty series. thesternfacts.com/curt-weldon-ae…

@drbarnard I have been investigating these apps for a year and reported them to @Apple but they haven't taken any actions so far, letting this scammers making hundreds of thousands of dollars. Please take a careful look at the list below:
1/ Adult Chat (200k est. revenue for Sept 2018 by sensortower)
itunes.apple.com/US/app/id11788…
- this app is filled with fake profile and bots. After you sign up the bots will message you with provocative things, and when you try to reply the in-app purchase tab appears with prices like:
Primary VIP 1 coin $19.99
Senior VIP 1 coin $29.99
Senior VIP 12 coins $69.99
Senior VIP 3 coins $49.99
Normal VIP 3 coins $39.99
Normal VIP 12 coins $59.99

ps: these in-app purchases are consumable not subscriptions (it makes it harder to get a refund from Apple)

One of the cultural things I love most are Podcasts- I pretty much alternate between Podcasts & Music in my ears every free minute. I'm always up for a recommendation- so I'll throw out a few I love & I'd love to hear what you're into!
First of all, @SecondCaptains, those guys are like FAMILY to me man. I sat on a long car trip recently playing their podcasts to a dude who may have been politely humoring me while I looked at him for reaction. Anyway, Great Irish Sport insights- check it:

“If we are pursuing change wrong, then what needs to be changed to pursue it better?”

@ezraklein made me sweat. He is a model for us all, interrogating from many viewpoints, including ones he doesn’t share but does want represented in the dialogue.

itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Afterward, I had two contradictory thoughts: I hope all my book interviews aren’t like that! And I wish every interview in America were like that.
Every time @ezraklein seemed to find himself agreeing with me, I saw an instinct well up in him. He realized that was the moment to step out of himself and represent someone who wasn’t in the booth and ask what they would ask. That spirit could go a long way to rescuing America.

Some notes on the coming home to Jamaica booklet:

- it was funded by British high commission in Jamaica, through the aid budget

- it is handed out to deported persons on arrival, many of who are disoriented
- it is part written by deported persons, many who spent most of their lives in the US.

- this doesn’t validate it. It might make it more insidious, but we should recognise that the advice is based on experience
- That experience is people get robbed, extorted, excluded and stigmatised. If you think Jamaica is paradise go and speak to the urban poor

- this is not lawlessness (don’t be racist) but it is about social insecurity and absence of state (all legacies of British colonialism)

Ok ya'll, give me like 30 more minutes (tonight's #MusicSermon took a bit of organizing), and we'll get started with tonight's service.
If the ushers will please start seating, and the praise & worship team come...
⛪️
*Steps into pulpit*
*Adjusts mic*
*Sips water*
*Opens texts*

I apologize for the lateness in the hour, and ya'll might as well get prepared, saints, cause I think this is gonna be a kind of long one, but I gotta get it out how I feel it, amen?
We all know by now (I hope) that #MusicSermon is a B2K (before 2000) centered ministry. However, I promised that at some point, I would heavily relax those restrictions for a specific sermon topic, and I believe the time has come…
