i do not think that intentionally creating a devastating recession in the city where every political reporter gets their vibes from will work, necessarily, to the trump administration's benefit

I think it’s actually quite cruel to celebrate the firing of hundreds of thousands of workers on a stage with a chainsaw.

“western civilization is saved” i say, while i smash its high cultural artifacts, abandon its ideological mandate, and dismantle its institutional entrenchments

Congestion pricing is already speeding up buses and increasing ridership. Now we need new protected bus lanes to build on those gains and accommodate all those new riders!

1. The subway is safe 2. Wild that making them safer isn't an option but pushing people to drive, the thing that actually kills new yorkers, is 🤡 #fuckcars

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

Elon’s dream come true

UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Everyone warned me about the subway before I moved here even though I worked in transit, lived in dtla, and rode LA metro everyday. They simply can’t help themselves.

Crazy that we’re so starved for dem leaders who listen to what Trump says he’ll do and then prepare a response for when he does it that Kathy Hochul is getting a positive news cycle

MTA suggesting that you'd need to go through NEPA to shut down congestion pricing is lol, dare I say it, L M A O storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s still very funny that Hochul delayed congestion pricing for bullshit political reasons and then started it so Trump wouldn’t kill it for bullshit political reasons

you love to see it. gov hochul comes out strong.

On congestion pricing, the correct framing isn't that the Trump admin killed it, it's that the Trump admin announced that they're going to TRY to kill it. This is going to court, and there's no guarantee Trump is going to win there.

My king of knowing which pitches to swing at 🙏

Absolutely lol'ing at the notion the toll was set to fund the MTA's capital budget and not reduce traffic when the enacted toll is just 60% of the revenue target toll and has produced a sharp reduction in traffic. ANYWAYS

in his statement "cancelling" congestion pricing, sean duffy calls people who ride the subway "an elite few" and i just feel as a communication professional that they gotta decide if they're going with that or crime-ridden drug den homeless shelter

i really wish the media took the online world seriously because these people are all fucking nazis

Elon Musk is involved in government because he is bad at business. He is removing these consumer safeguards because otherwise his terrible businesses will never have a shot at bringing products to market.

Over my mostly private-sector career, I’ve heard the suggestion that government is incompetent and the private sector is efficient and effective. Many times I’ve seen the opposite, with the private sector often shockingly incompetent but largely un-scrutinized like the public sector is. Until now.

When you’ve never had a real job:

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

This is probably the most accurate take.

2017: Don’t worry, responsible Republicans will check him and he’ll get absorbed into the system. 2025: The Senate votes 52-48 on party lines to replace all firemen with pedophiles.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Trying to explain to 2012 Larissa what DOGE means now & why Grimes’ kid is picking his nose in the Oval Office & telling the president to shush

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

they're gonna continue stealing money from blue cities and states because they believe causing problems for places run by democrats makes democrats look bad and increases power for Republicans. Big contrast to how Dems are always crowing about sending $$$ to red rural areas!

We’re in for weeks of this on end. One of Musk’s tween haxx0rz stumbles into a complicated system they don’t understand, thinks they’ve discovered something earthshattering the veteran dunces never noticed, relays to Musk who also doesn’t understand, and broadcasts it to millions of followers.

Make Tesla worth nothing.
