This is correct and if it wasn't for Biden insisting on clinging to power for the sake of his own ego, the Democrats might have been able to win against Trump, even in an incredibly unfavorable environment.

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

New litmus test - if you endorse an illegal action by the Trump/Musk administration because it leads to an outcome you like, you are a Quisling and should be kicked out of the party.

NYT op-ed: As legal scholars, we really think if you consider these quotes from Blackstone and Coke and this AG opinion and trace the English common law history, there's a colorable argument Trump isn't breaking the law. Trump, same day: I AM BOUND BY NO LAWS!

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

President Trump promised voters that he would enact policies to bring prices down on “Day 1.” Inflation figures released on Wednesday showed that consumer prices ticked up unexpectedly, with the cost of food at home, primarily eggs, as one of the biggest factors fueling the increase. nyti.ms/4hBg4nu

If they succeed in breaking USAID, Trump and Musk will likely kill millions of people. If you think that’s hyperbole, you don’t know what USAID does.

A lot of the world was willing to think of the first Trump term as an aberration and cut the US some slack. The damage to our standing and reputation this time will be generational at a minimum.

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.

I think a big problem a lot of the tech and AI people is that they just don't seem to enjoy ... being alive? Like, the things about human nature and experience that have been fundamental to our species just seems totally lost on them.

Genuinely the group of people Congestion Pricing helps MOST - even more than transit riders - is people like Maurice who need to drive. When time is money, shorter commutes mean more earnings (and more time at home). Can’t wait for people to see this in action!

I am honestly shocked this is actually happening. I first wrote about congestion pricing in NYC 17 years ago, and I’ve spent much of the last few years simply holding my breath we would get here. What a journey. Here’s to a new era in trying to manage NYC streets and funding transit. 🍻
