Somehow, gas price politics returned
“Trump calls affordability a hoax while you literally pay the price of him sending your children to fight a pointless war he promised he’d never start”
He really has been spoonfeeding midterm messages for Ds
Vermontification is when a resort area gets an influx of crunchy white liberal transplants to pull it left: western NC, Hudson Valley NY, Traverse City MI, etc. sure. fine. I'd like to talk about a similar phenomenon
NYT confirms MS NOW:
The Epstein files released by the Trump Justice Department failed to include some key materials — FBI memos summarizing interviews — related to a woman who said she had been sexually assaulted by both Trump and Epstein decades earlier, when she was a minor.
God doesn't mike the monday mta board meetings. It got targeted with snow storms two months in a row
These 3-yr drops are stunning. Absolutely stunning.
New Orleans: -55%
Baltimore: -60%
Philly: -60%
Chicago: -40%
Buffalo: -55%
Pittsburgh: -50%
Albuquerque: -40%
Newark: -40%
San Antonio: -55%
Portland: -45%
The media coverage of these staggering drops, tho, is staggering in its relative silence.
It's a "whole new era at Amtrak," @amtrak.com President Roger Harris said Tuesday.
Its new Airo trains will debut on the Cascades this summer and East Coast in 2027, becoming the workhorse of Amtrak's fleet by replacing Amfleets that date to the 1970s.

trump creating the incentive and permission structure for democrats to do insane 2010-era gerrymandering of their own may turn out to be one of the biggest self-owns of all time. dems are now pretty likely to emerge with an advantage from the 2025-26 redistricting wars
Kind of a crazy early/e-day vote split in #NJ11 so far:
Essex Early: Malinowski- 33%, Mejia- 23.3%
Essex E-Day: Mejia- 37.8%, Malinowski- 22.2%
Morris Early: Malinowski- 43.5%, Mejia- 17%
Morris E-Day: Mejia- 37.9%, Malinowski- 21.4%
Malinowski has definitely not won yet

TLDR; The Transit Costs Project should have been more transparent by stating clearly in the body of the report and to the New York Times that reforming subway costs is an inherent assumption to their forecast.
To get 41 miles of subway, **reforms matter almost as much as the money**
This might be the most cataclysmic special election we’ve ever seen
Today, 4 days before Election Day, we rallied in Astoria with @aoc.bsky.social @socialists.nyc & our incredible State Socialists in Office @sengonzalezny.bsky.social @juliasalazar.bsky.social @emilyassembly.bsky.social.
It's an honor to be part of this movement. 🌹
I wanted to shout "Yes" and "Amen" at virtually every line of this @volts.wtf and @michaelhobbes.bsky.social discussion. I flagged one particularly important section, but the whole thing is essential. www.volts.wtf/p/all-about-...
Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.
“I am not running as an individual. I am running as part of a movement, and it is that kind of organized coalition of a multiracial working-class base that brought Mayor Mamdani into City Hall.”
Enjoyed speaking with QNS.com about our campaign!

We really need to build more housing in NY. Every NYer that leave to NJ is a policy failure.
The federal money for the Second Avenue subway is also still frozen, and the MTA will be unable to award the next project if the money isn’t flowing by March nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/28/t...
Funding has been off since October. This should be a complete national scandal on top of all other national scandals. The administration is holding our money hostage while they make up new rules.
The G train has 50,000 more daily riders than it did in 2010—when the MTA cut service between Long Island City and Forest Hills.
@emilyassembly.bsky.social has led on this for years. I’m with her: bring it back. Read @johnsurico.bsky.social's s op-ed at @nyc.streetsblog.org.
1 week until Election Day, Tue, Feb. 3
This is it: ONE WEEK until our Election Day!
We've built a campaign of hundreds of volunteers to knock 10k doors. We've raised $192k from 1k donors, with an average donation of just $58.
Our coalition of labor unions, elected officials, and progressive organizations will bring us to Albany.
I keep thinking about this quote from Amos Lawrence about the 1854 Boston Slave Riot - “We went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
