MPD doesn't need another $38 million for yet another new building. Plowing sidewalks and traffic calming much better use of this money and will actually keep people safe.
🏆 Council Member Robin Wonsley has earned the Transportation Budget MVP award for amendments funding sidewalk snow clearance pilots, $2.3m for ADA ramp construction, $2.5m for traffic safety improvements, & $700k for protected bikeways.

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

Akposé fired the entire public policy team, a reckless move ahead of 2026 when Georgia will consider a total abortion ban and Ossoff seeks reelection.
The board recently said allegations against leadership or the board were without merit—but announced that national would hire a GA state director 👀

Given their vulnerability to falls, you’d think the city’s senior residents would enthusiastically support municipal sidewalk plowing (but my conversations with legacy members of the DFL Senior Caucus prove otherwise)
I appreciate the councilmembers who are promoting walkability for all

On Friday, City Council voted to undo Mayor Frey’s cuts to our sidewalk plowing pilots because the return of winter shouldn’t mean risking slips and falls on icy sidewalks every time it snows. Safely getting around our city should be a basic function of our government.

The issue with Neoliberalism isn't that it doesn't work, it's that it only works once. You can sell the family silver once, you can strip the copper out of the walls once, you can burn the furniture to keep warm once. But then you have to come up with something else!

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”
