Out here, minimum wage is $14; monthly pass is $80. For a 40hr/week worker, that's about 3.6% of monthly income going to transit costs. Or, to put it another way, getting rid of it would be equivalent to a $0.50/hr raise.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

The scene inside 26 Federal Plaza—where Comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social was just arrested for defending an immigrant neighbor—is terrifying. Lines of masked officers waiting to wrongfully arrest people (without a signed judicial warrant) for simply attending their immigration hearings.

As rents continue to rise across the country, they're falling by ~12% to 16% in Jersey City. Why? The city spent 2019 to 2024 on an absolute building tear. Building more housing works. jerseydigs.com/jersey-city-...

Powerful words from J. Sotomayor dissenting today in #Skrmetti: "By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Sotomayor: "The majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."

WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill would lead to a larger-than-expected $2.8 trillion increase in the federal deficit over the decade, despite a boost to U.S. economic output, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected on Tuesday.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, there’s a tomb for Alma House, an African American girl who was just 16 years old — and nine months pregnant — when she was lynched by a white mob. Trump wants us to forget about girls like Alma. Here's how ⤵️

Former ABC senior correspondent Terry Moran was fired after calling Trump aide Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Moran says ABC made a business decision, fearing the truth was “bad for business.” He stands by his words—and won’t apologize for calling out hate. www.rawstory.com/stephen-mill...

🦋 Terry Moran eviscerates Stephen Miller in post-ABC interview You see him all the time spitting venom & lies into our debate, degrading our public discourse, debasing it & using the power of the White House & what he's been given to grind us down in all that bile. Speaking the way MSM should be 🦋

This is why I was so upset when they expanded so-called conscience protections, b/c if one group doesn't have the right to get healthcare b/c a Dr has certain feelings, you won't have a right to healthcare in the near future. #Momvocate

The current wave of federal immigration raids began in January with a “rogue” operation in California’s Central Valley. My new study finds these raids increased school absences by 22%—a leading indicator of the resulting family stress & lost learning opportunities👇 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...
