Trump Wreck Vacation

USDOT is proposing to prioritize areas with high marriage & birth rates for funding. Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this approach would produce a massive redistribution of transportation funding to rich, car-dependent, high white population areas. www.urban.org/urban-wire/d...

Republicans again want to destroy DC home rule because they're concerned about crime in the city. Fun fact: Violent crime hit a 30-year low in 2024.

Here is United States law regarding the President's attempts to close our development assistance agency in secret over the weekend. It is illegal. No ambiguity. Americans decide with their actions, today, if the US is a country of laws or—something else. —> crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...

Ever think about how most all the big political actors and dictators of the 20th century personally experienced the horrors of war and bloodshed? Meanwhile, we’re watching a U.S. coup carried out by men who have lived lives softer than that of your average inbred French Bulldog in a sweater.
