“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

Can you imagine YOUR city like this? Why not, more to the point.
All road deaths are a decision made at all levels of Government, within the courts, and to a large extent within the manufacturing of cars and the marketing of them. It doesn't have to be this way.

Wow 😮 A federal magistrate judge overseeing the criminal case against former F.B.I. director James B. Comey just issued a ruling stating that “government misconduct may have tainted the grand jury proceedings” that led to his indictment. We expected this, but here it is.

You just have to wonder, do elected Republicans EVER get tired of Trump threatening them the second they do something he disagrees with? Do they ever feel like soulless cowards when they remain silent while he does it to others? Is holding onto their office worth the debasement?

This is just theater for MAGA. If Trump REALLY wanted the Epstein Files released, he doesn't need Congress. He could just call Pam Bondi and order her to release them. He hasn't. And won't. He and Pam have cooked up a new "ongoing investigation" that she can use as an excuse not to release evidence.
