Wow... NYC's congestion pricing has led to big drops in PM2.5 and real improvements in local air quality.

The most infuriating part of this multibillion dollar boondoggle is that none of these outcomes are unexpected. Every single transit advocate has been shouting from the rooftops for years that these issues would happen, and they were all ignored
Holy shit. Brutal bunching and the ??first ever?? Short turn on a light rail line?

Toronto just opened the 10km Finch W tram today. The total cost of the project with 30-year Ops & Maintenance is 3.7 billion CAD. Assuming 30-year O&M is 1 billion CAD, the project costs 230 million INT$/km to build. That's the same per km unit cost France or China builds an underground urban metro.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Stop me if you've heard this before:
If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF???
They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Not saying that MAGA are a bunch of reptilian monsters devoid of empathy and intent on destroying your country, but if they were, how would it be different from this?

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.
