I joined @markey.senate.gov in introducing the All Aboard Act to invest in high-speed rail, expand passenger rail service, and grow the rail workforce across America. We need to invest in 21st century infrastructure, and Western PA's gotta be part of that network. www.axios.com/local/pittsb...

Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic. This is devastating

I’d like my money safe and to know that financial services are subject to oversight to protect Americans from scams and frauds

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Congressmembers who back this should have to drink exclusively from the lead pipes and guzzle TCE water - themselves AND their entire families - for a 1 year period before the change can go into effect. Don’t let them hide from what they push in the rest of us

Turns out it was pretty easy to replace our Amazon subscribe and save list at Costco. And, there’s pizza and sundaes at the end of the Costco line 🙃

Seriously, let’s skip paying taxes this year. Why pay taxes if the government isn’t planning to provide any services? Looks like it’s all being shuttered so no service, no pay

This is how you do it. It’s very simple. Not required to comply with poorly assembled legally non binding EOs? Don’t. Done.

Eww 🤮 this is an entire article about how people want to see him as a daddy, and I fear we’re no longer the same species. There’s no bridging this chasm

Should go without saying but the point of diversity in hiring is to find _better_-qualified candidates outside of stagnant social networks that don't reward merit, like the kind of network that would put an MTV personality with a marketing degree in charge of the Department of Transportation

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Politico posted an OMB memo with the full list of programs impacted by the (halted, for now) freeze. Yes, the freeze is frozen. US leadership is a joke.

In no way does the EO apply to private businesses. These companies are weak sheep.

I had this exact discussion yesterday. There is a lot of uncertainty in the EO, as written, that does not rule out breach of contract and Trump’s history shows a pattern of not honoring contracts. Places local government in position of massive instability and risk

As cities work to balance population growth with sustainability goals, the economic argument for health-oriented urban planning is gaining attention.

I don’t use TikTok but I’d like presidential executive orders to address critical national policy. How to define that? How about… not promote a foreign company by name. Not a high bar to start with

“Looking at dollars and cents, highways are a poor economic investment. They occupy nearly 25% of U.S. urban land—an area equivalent to West Virginia and valued at $4.1 trillion—yet their supposed benefits don’t justify these enormous costs.”
