Climate tech and all it encompasses. Fan of the Chicago Red Stars and the USWNT, getting increasingly into tennis. Walkable cities and public transit are my true loves

Outer-foot through balls in the half-spaces? Lofted passes over the defensive line into the wingers' stride? A deft pass that takes the ball off an opponent's foot? Check. Check. Check. A fantastic first USWNT start for the 17-year-old.

Basic stats but that was a great freakin game from the USWNT midfield

Just to be clear, congestion pricing isn’t dead.

MTA response on congestion pricing

US Department of Transportation put out a statement saying it rescinded approval for #NYC congestion pricing

So we’re at 10 resignations over #NYC Mayor Eric Adams?

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

A grim scene this afternoon as Emil Bove faced down lawyers from DOJ’s Public Integrity Section. One said it was “not anything any of us ever expected to see in America.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

The biggest US bank, which has financed nearly $400 billion in fossil-fuel projects since the Paris Agreement, launches an important and credible climate advisory note for clients, who apparently have been clamoring for such a thing. 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fewer cars in lower Manhattan, but more people. And as reminder, it's people that make cities what they are

UPDATE: The White House defended its decision to block The Associated Press from covering two official events on Tuesday because it did not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Latest payout data for Hurricane Helene from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) shows >96% of the $4.4B in "to-date" losses coming from Florida. Despite catastrophic inland flood damage, limited NFIP policy coverage means North Carolina accounts for just 3% of the event payout.

I can’t take this any way other than Mayor Adams is willing to sacrifice our immigrant communities to cover up his misconduct. Even if he didn’t break the law (not my area of expertise), his behavior makes him unfit to stay in office.

“Per my last email.”

Official US transit ridership data is now out for all of 2024, so here's a quick breakdown DC's WMATA had the fastest ridership growth of any major US transit agency in 2024, followed by Chicago's CTA & SF's Muni SF's BART, Boston's MBTA, and NYC's MTA lagged behind. (1/3)🧵

“Transgender people are exactly that, people — not tools to be wielded in a climb up the political ladder.” Becky Sauerbrunn, forever my captain

Irving is so good, and I am may be crying over a man with too big a heart for his own good #severance

U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

We protect our athletes by making sure their rights are protected. By making sure they have safe workplaces. We owe all the players who came forward so much.

NWSLPA Pres Tori Huster with a banger: "It wasn't leadership who fixed this. It was players who refused to accept silence as an answer. This $5 million Restitution Fund is not a gift, nor is it justice... this fund is an acknowledgement of the league's failures and the harm suffered by players."

want a real voice in this year's NYC elections? make sure you've switched parties ***by Feb. 14*** if you want to vote in the primaries in June (this is ESPECIALLY true for independent/unaffiliated/'blank' voters and third parties like WFP and Conservative)

Hot, dry, lots of fuel, little rain. How climate change made the LA fires more likely, by @eroston.bsky.social [gift link]

is gotham ok? it really does seem like players are unhappy there, which is a shame after how much they focused on building up a successful team in the past two seasons

Rain in LA brings some much needed good news

Another step closer to the MTA's goal of 100% zero-emission bus purchases by 2029. Buses are great for electrification because their consistent routes make it easier to plan when to charge

I knew Bad Bunny didn’t stand a chance (PR food is delicious but has no heat to it). But as @kendrawrites.com said, women are tougher
