<6ft ceilings in $1.25 million house
Beautiful house. Unfortunately, the finished basement's celling, which has a bedroom, kitchen, and full bath, is under 6ft tall, which makes it unusable for many, and at this price range is wild.

A D.C. Community Park Story
Hi all!
Thought I’d share something joyful in the middle of all the difficult news our city has been dealing with lately.
Several years ago, our community decided enough was enough with the state of our alley. What was once filled with abandoned cars, trash, illicit activity, overgrown weeds, mud, and potholes has been transformed through thousands of volunteer hours and generous financial support from neighbors and local nonprofits.
Together, we turned a neglected space into a community space with swings and toys for kids, a Little Free Library, native plant gardens, space for events like the annual Alleyween, and more.
It’s been incredibly heartwarming to see new faces every week enjoying the space and the sense of community that’s grown around it.
Enjoy and Happy Friday!
Rally organized by Michigan Families for Fair Care outside a gas station in Macomb County which is represented by Rep. John James who is supporting the war in Iran. Last year he cut Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy tax credits to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Healthcare, utilities, rent, groceries, everything is getting more expensive.
Does anyone else find it gross how Tom Tiffany is trying to rebrand as moderate when he’s obviously still MAGA? Scott Pressler is a Stop the Steal activist.
- MAGA-endorsed Tom Tiffany is trying to rebrand as a mainstream Republican in his bid for governor, all while he continues to court the far-right fringe. Tiffany appeared on “TheQuartering,” a podcast hosted by Jeremy Hambly, an internet personality with a documented history of antisemitic rhetoric and online harassment controversies.
- During the interview, Hambly offered to mobilize campaign support for Tiffany alongside Scott Presler, a prominent “Stop the Steal” activist.
- Presler was a key figure in efforts to overturn the 2020 election and has helped amplify conspiracy-driven movements, including QAnon-aligned networks.
- One of the lawmakers is Rep. Jen Kiggans, a former Navy helicopter pilot who represents a coastal district in Virginia where an $11.5 billion wind farm is expected to create 1,000 jobs. Her support for an initiative targeted by Trump shows the scrambled politics of clean energy in an election year where Republicans are at risk of losing the House.
- For now, the Virginia project is back on track, along with the other four, because of federal court rulings. But Elaine Luria, a former congresswoman who is seeking the Democratic nomination in the 2nd Congressional District represented by Kiggans, said the incumbent’s efforts have been futile in the face of Trump’s onslaught. “Her advocacy did nothing,” Luria said. Kiggans did not respond to requests for comment.
- Kiggans voted in favor of Republican legislation to gut clean energy tax credits as part of Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill even though she has long portrayed herself as a champion of renewable energy. Democrats have turned the issue into campaign advertisements, and Luria said it undermines Kiggans’ attempt to “sell herself as if she’s a moderate.”
