NRDC, farmers, and our partners are suing the Agriculture Department for censoring vital data that could protect their livelihoods. These tools help farms adapt to climate change and without this critical information, farmers won’t be able to make informed decisions for the future.

From my colleague Muhammed: “Whether or not you have asthma or a preexisting condition, even if you don’t have someone in your family that does, you benefit every time you walk outside and there’s not soot, [nitrogen oxides], ozone, contaminating your breathing.” chicagoreader.com/news/illinoi...

America's second-busiest passenger rail line runs on a single track along crumbling Del Mar bluffs. When these cliffs erode and trains slow down, it cuts off San Diego's only rail connection to the rest of the nation. This affects everyone from commuters to cargo. 🧵1/4

If someone tried to do in France or Italy what Trump and Musk are doing now to federal workers, this would trigger a general strike, and the streets would be burning (especially in France).

Just 9% fewer cars led to 20% - 50% faster commutes. It is an expensive and fruitless mistake to prioritize more driving when less driving overall is better for everyone!

Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations is reporting that the US DOT has paused the approvals of changes to regional short-term transportation plans (STIPs). Unclear why DOT is requiring general counsel review of STIP amendments. This could delay investment in projects nationwide.

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

For highway projects, states only pay 20% and federal government pays the rest, but for California High Speed Rail the ratio is flipped around - 80% comes from state government.

A majority of Californians support High Speed Rail. A majority of CA's High Speed Rail funding has come from our state, not the feds. We are going to build High Speed Rail, no matter what Trump and Musk say. ktla.com/news/califor...

Trump is on a roll. The day after trying to kill Congestion Pricing in NYC, he’s going to try and kill CA High Speed Rail. Why don’t we just go back to leaded gasoline, get rid of air bags and seat belts, and double deck our freeways while we’re at it?

American planes are crashing on a seemingly daily basis right now, but sure, go pretend you have the authority to do anything definitive on a project mandated by California voters, and still has majority public support.
