This is a wild overreach. The feds regulate vehicles, but states regulate drivers, which is what these systems are. Most AV regulation on the books just requires insurance, and maybe some minimal reporting. If anything they tend to be wildly under-enforced. This will end up in court if it passes.

So now the line from the admin is that this is all biden's fault because "he was in the US illegally" but like....his work permit expired at the end of march. Maybe if you weren't so obsessed with deporting moms and students the past few months you'd have some resources to catch extremists!

i think Joni Ernst, specifically, is a lot closer to the line than she's acting like she is. she only won by 6 in 2020! Iowa is probably a top-10 tariff-damaged state!

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Uber sent push notifications yesterday to its users in Illinois telling them to call their state reps and oppose transit funding. The bill then stalled in the House so now CTA is on track to close 4/8 'L' lines and discontinue 74/127 bus routes, absent emergency action from the legislature.

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.
