It's insane how congestion pricing in NYC has been just about the most unambiguously successful new policy implemented in my lifetime and still all the dumbest people in government want to get rid of it

This, sadly, is true. The United States government is in the hands of morally depraved and morally corrupted people who are enabled by moral cowards and the morally apathetic.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Trump took his tariff insider trading scheme to Congress and made Marjorie Taylor Greene an offer she couldn’t refuse. MTG is now a gleeful participant in Trump’s crime spree.

There is a Republican war against women & democracy itself. The House just passed the #SAVEAct that makes those who changed their name when they married purchase a $165 passport. MAGA doesn't care that people don't have an extra $165 lying around to get a passport. They don't want women to vote.

SHAMEFUL! The so-called SAVE Act was passed in the House today. It MUST be stopped in the Senate! This bill deliberately threatens the voter rights of MILLIONS of women, low-income, minority, & naturalized Americans. Why? Because the more 🇺🇸 voters engage in elections, the more Republicans LOSE!

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Trump: "The reason we're not talking about tariffs with Russia is because we're not doing business essentially with Russia". US-Russia trade totalled $3.5 billion in 2024. US-Lesotho trade totalled $240 million in 2024, yet Trump imposed a 50% tariff on the impoverished country.

I hope everyone who is upset about "cancel culture" will find it similarly alarming that companies are too terrified of government retaliation to say anything critical about a policy that's seriously harming them. Seems maybe also bad?

Trump: Make America 1870 again. When we had no roads, no public schools, no clean water, no hospitals, no public services, but we did have 7 day/16 hour work weeks, child labor, horrific segregation and racism, cholera epidemics, and cow shit in our meat.
