real ones know there is only one correct way to travel from NYC to DC (Amtrak northeast regional cafe car)
Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?
MAMDANI: I will use every form of transit and I want to make sure they are all affordable in NYC
TRUMP: That's a lot quicker too, in all fairness. I'll stick up for you.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Trump regime is working on eliminating NOAA Fisheries, either eliminating its mission responsibilities or moving them to Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service.
Short version: we will drive whales and other endangered species to extinction and our fisheries will collapse.

The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world.
That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.
And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

Still wondering why Murphy hasn't replaced Schumer as Senate Minority Leader
Chris Murphy: "The fact of the matter is if you don't put constraints on Donald Trump's illegality, this democracy isn't going to be here next November. It isn't going to be here in 2028. So Democrats, yes, have to draw firm moral lines in the sand right now."

According to Brady, concealed carry is proven to increase gun violence by as much as 15%. Does the US need more #gunviolence?
Take it from a combat veteran himself: a nationwide concealed carry mandate would be a deadly "nightmare" for civilians and law enforcement alike.
Congress could vote on this bill as soon as the shutdown ends.

Why a federal concealed carry gun bill must be stopped - The Boston Globe
The law would force all states to recognize concealed carry permissions from anywhere else in the country, and would be highly dangerous for civilians and law enforcement.
