I am an advocate in the United States for infrastructure & transportation improvements which will save lives, for not just for the drivers of motor vehicles, but also the most vulnerable road users such as bicyclists, pedestrians and the disabled.

Great Job by hard workina Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS. DISABILITY. TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!! President DONALD J TRUMP

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE America Act reaches his desk and meets his demands.

It isn't any clearer this is how a dictator (or a young child) operates.

Cycling advocates: The mayor endorsed us. Now he advocates against us. In 2023, Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed our bike grid plan. Now, he advocates against us and our right to safe infrastructure.

Chicago should drop opposition to HB2454, which makes bicyclists the β€œintended users” of all city roads. Bill would allow cyclists to hold the city accountable for road conditions the same way drivers hold it accountable. Op-ed @nikhunder.com #CharnaAlbert. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/06/o...

Will Trump be sending his son Barron to fight his war in Iran? How about Don Junior and Eric? Will Trump risk their lives to support his illegal invasion? What about the 30% of MAGA's who support Trump's war? Will they be enlisting to go fight on the front lines?

Having lost one daughter, Robyn, and nearly the other, Rachel, three weeks later to unsafe bicycle infrastructure, I know this to be true.

The average nationwide ticked up to $2.94 a gallon on Monday, per data from GasBuddy, and is headed toward, and then past, the $3-a-gallon mark, with the war in the Middle East that Trump launched over the weekend, without congressional approval.

Halifax Cycling Coalition asks HRM to prioritize bike projects amid rising cyclist injuries David Trueman's message as co-chair of the Halifax Cycling Coalition was simple and largely ignored on Thursday.

New: With over 100 cyclists injuries last year, not to mention 67 vehicle-cyclist collisions between 2024-2025, the Halifax Cycling Coalition addressed the city's transportation standing committee this week.

They were met with silence.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
