Morning LA, we are in Union Station at the surprise press event about California High Speed Rail. The area seems to be blocked off but I will attempt to live-tweet as things happen.

When the US ruling class says that something poses a threat to the "American way of life", what they actually mean is it poses a threat to the interests of US capital accumulation.

It’s easy to criticize the LA City government, but we should also recognize when it’s working well (video from Transit Hunter on TikTok)

After 11 years, my time at HuffPost is coming to an end tomorrow. Last week, I learned HuffPost would be ending its dedicated coverage of energy and climate change. So, I took a buyout.

Musk, routinely attacks individual federal employees, as do many in the MAGA movement. He and Trump officials have threatened legal action towards anyone revealing information about DOGE employees who are engaged in massive and potentially illegal actions. I wonder why?

A man who refused to say “no” when asked if he supports forcing homeless people into government-run detention camps has now been confirmed as HUD Secretary. Read that again.

Nothing says "literal dictator" more than... Last month, Trump said he wanted to replace former archivist Colleen Shogan ... The president believes the National Archives provided information to the Department of Justice on the classified documents case against him." #uspol

Only makes sense that the actual professionals are leaving after RFKs appointment. Essentially making a joke out of the critcal work these people have done for public health in years prior. I would be leaving too. #uspol #CDC #RFK

"The fact that none of the DOGE people actually understand how government functions is a feature, not a bug. If you understand the workings of the federal bureaucracy you are almost certainly part of the problem, not the solution."

Rather than urge the legislature to turbocharge new infill housing in climate-safe areas, LA County elected officials are focused on ensuring no one can add ADUs or skimp on replacement parking. All in the name of "retaining community character." We are so screwed.

The best summary of DOGE I have come across by a new U-M faculty member! @donmoyn.bsky.social s experience studying public administration and service delivery shines through in this piece. Please give it a read!

I introduced new legislation to expedite delivery of public transit, bike & pedestrian safety projects. It takes way too long to deliver these projects critical for our future. SB 71 makes permanent a CEQA exemption I legislated in 2020 & expands it to include more types of transit infrastructure.🧵

Incredible how thoroughly Democrats got played here. Spent four years following through on a Trump executive order, pissed away any shot at building a real youth coalition for 2024 by alienating literally every teenager in America, lost the election, and now Trump gets to "save" TikTok. Clown shit.

I am generally against the mass, unfettered adoption of AI, but tools like this that allow human data annotation, and model tuning with that data, seem like a promising way to see AI processes adopted/evaluated in mission critical sectors. But I want to hear other perspectives. humansignal.com #AI
