Recent news articles are stating: "Nancy Pelosi's challenger in California thinks putting the House speaker on blast for supporting congressional stock trading might finally pay dividends for him in his third attempt at unseating the long-term lawmaker."[0]

She is possibly flipping on her decision now to keep her seat. If her husband Paul Pelosi[1] (an investment manager) can continue to trade, this ban will do nothing to her.

New comment by Phillips126 in "DaisyUI – Tailwind CSS Components"

I mentioned it in another comment, but I felt the same way until I figured out there is a solution. Here is an example of a simple CSS file with a reusable button class:

  @tailwind base;
  @tailwind components;
  @tailwind utilities;

  @layer components {
   .button {
     @apply text-2xl p-2 bg-gray-100 text-gray-600 border border-gray-200 cursor-pointer hover:bg-gray-200 hover:border-gray-300;
   }
  }

I can now just give all of my reusable buttons the ".button" class instead of the giant string above. I can even add more styles or overwrite existing styles to give it a different look such as:

> Is the code on the left (with lots of classes) actually what tailwind is like to use in practice?

As a fan of tailwind, I can say that I initially thought this was dumb and it would be hard to read through a huge number of classes applied to each HTML element. Later, I found that for many of my reusable components, I could combine classes into a single class. As an example, my stylesheet may look like this:

  @tailwind base;
  @tailwind components;
  @tailwind utilities;

  @layer components {
   .button {
     @apply text-2xl p-2 bg-gray-100 text-gray-600 border border-gray-200 cursor-pointer hover:bg-gray-200 hover:border-gray-300;
   }
  }

I can now just give all of my reusable buttons the ".button" class instead of the giant string above.

Damn Windows updates...

Getting downvoted so I guess I need to clarify I was being sarcastic. I work in IT and we say this a lot.

I felt the same way when I discovered this element about a year ago. Each time I try to use it I always find it falling short of what I need it to do. It's incredibly limited in what can be styled with CSS, doesn't have the ability to have multiple values and there is no max-height to the dropdown. I've seen the dropdown grow so large it clips out of the browser itself - which might have been a bug that is now resolved.

My understanding is that is the combination of both a standard and
