Exclusive 1m ago The Trump administration will receive a $10 billion fee for brokering the deal that kept TikTok alive in the U.S.
JFC.
Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.
Senator Tuberville on x writing a response to the @endwokeness account Original tweet from @EndWokeness - “less than 25 years apart” Image 1 - the twin towers as they are hit by a the planes on 9/11/2001 Image 2 - Mayor Mamdani sitting on a prayer rug while hosting an Iftar at city hall Quote tweet from Senator Tuberville - “the enemy is inside the gates.”
Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
Media & police commonly report that “speed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much.
But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.
Thanks. I missed that part of the story. I'll reread, thank you!
Anyone know if getting rid of the tail tracks at the junction would lead to operational issues?
Just to put a finer point on this: the Senate majority leader switched from being a "yes" on the estate tax reduction to a "no" after a left-leaning challenger jumped into his race for reelection this year.
I got on the "metro train in New York City" at 7 p.m. the other night, and I had to shove myself into a crush-loaded 6 train and couldn't get a seat for the whole ride between Manhattan and Brooklyn. What huge big wet diaper babies these Republicans are, afraid of their own shadows.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
Inject this into my veins. I love it.
Americans will fly to Europe, walk places, enjoy the tranquil patio dining, and soak up the human-scaled charm of the urban streets.
They will then fly back home and absolutely foam at the mouth over any proposal to make our streets safer, more equitable, and calmer by limiting cars for everything.
"European cities were just built differently, that won't work here!"
(Cue photos of Amsterdam choked with car traffic in the 1970s)
It's a structural problem at the city that we fund so many basics with levies. I don't know the exact solution, but I do know that our libraries should be able to hire people as needed and do regular necessary maintenance without having to ask the voters for more money every 7 years.
Not a slam on Wilson, but it is completely insane that we fund BASIC LIBRARY OPERATIONS, including staff and security guards, with a levy that depends on regular voter approval. Non-capital library expenses are a basic city function that shouldn't be at regular risk of cancelation.
And I just got a text poll about the library levy. Someone's not messing around.
That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.
Consolation for the Nobel
I mean will they though? If you follow Rep. Reed you know she posts about these Marathon amendment sessions every single year. Dems haven't limited them before, why start now? (I think they should I'm just saying).

Democratic leaders could limit the debate and amendments like they do in other states. Why don't they?
And it’s not just his haters—you see this attitude most pronounced and perhaps most dangerously so among our “elite” class of experts and leaders and pundits who still act confused when the dumbest guy in charge ever does more of the same dumb stuff he always does
Even among his haters there’s a kind of mythology around Trump that unfortunately still makes him seem more impressive than he actually is. I think it’s understandably hard to grasp just how stupid this is
I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
This is vibes-only but...single-stair just feels safer. Instead of a single wall of windows and a long hallway, like you find in a double-loaded corridor building, a single-stair building has the stairs right outside your unit. And you've got windows on 2 or 3 sides, not just 1.

If Biden had hosted a WH event on the frivolous topic of college sports while bombing Iran, legacy media reporters would have ripped him a new one. Reporters clearly are more pro-Trump than the average American. I think it’s because it’s easier to cover Trump’s spectacles than policy reporting.
He’s spent more time on his golf course than the White House. Why was he incensed when Biden went home to Delaware? And he’s supposed to be managing a “war.”
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
My lord this is how I feel! I've seen otherwise really smart people who for example are pro vaccines that rag on antivaxxers turn around and disregard this science.
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
