I am an advocate in the United States for infrastructure & transportation improvements which will save lives, for not just for the drivers of motor vehicles, but also the most vulnerable road users such as bicyclists, pedestrians and the disabled.

Cities are you listening?
Many city halls are deep in budget-time. Some are pushing austerity ideologies, and are ignoring the difference between costs and cost-savers/value creators. Citizens, PAY ATTENTION, and never forget that the TRUTH about a city’s REAL aspirations isn’t found in its visions. It’s found in its budget.

Rubia Garcia ll, how soon we forget..

TRUMP LAST YEAR:
Starting on day one, we will end inflation and Make America Affordable Again.

TRUMP NOW:
I don't want to hear anything about the affordability.

Apparently, Trump has not looked into a mirror recently.

I agree...
Most kids don’t need another iPad. They need a bike lane so they don’t have relay on racing in a virtual environment but can cycle alongside each other.

I agree with Coach Walz!
We will not let Minnesotans go hungry.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

I agree with Amy!
The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.

It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.

"...roughly one in eight families that receive SNAP still may be at risk of hunger and financial hardship. The Trump administration opted against using other funds to sustain the program, meaning it may have enough money to provide only about half of eligible households’ ... benefits in November."

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Another reason why I would not ride in a Tesla.

"A driver and passenger traveling in a Tesla died after they crashed into the rear of a tractor-trailer that was parked at a rest stop along Interstate 75 in Florida, according to authorities."

For most, it has gotten worse!
Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.
