The Kushner brand is basically: I'm hear to offer peace deals and get money, and I'm all out of peace deals

The world would be a better place if journalists and lawmakers can distinguish an ebike from an electric motorcycle.

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.

If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Province's internal documents reveal province knows Bill 212 not in the public interest

Publicly, the Ontario government wants you to believe that ripping out bike lanes will solve traffic congestion. Privately, cabinet briefing documents and internal expert reports all say it won’t work.

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviourβ€”it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form.

If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure.

SUV drivers could face extra charges for driving in London TfL are also poised to increase 20mph zones and cut speed limits on the capital’s fastest roads later this year

β€œThe mayor has asked Transport for London to undertake detailed analysis of the safety risks posed by large SUVs and their wider impact on London’s roads. This could then inform any future policy proposals in London or recommendations to government or the sector.”

St. Paul: Make the Marshall Avenue bus lane permanent? Take the survey The three-block extension of a permanent bus lane was installed from Cretin Avenue to Wilder Street in 2023 as a temporary measure

Please take this survey and tell Metro Transit to keep the bus /bike lane (and not let a Highland realtor drive the narrative). This is the precise spot where I was nearly killed by a red pickup truck driver. www.twincities.com/2026/03/06/s...

Please read and share. The β€œgrassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Senator Murphy: "You cannot bomb a nation into submission. You cannot impose regime change from the air. Bombing elementary schools hardens resolve. Trump learned nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan."

Murphy is right, you cannot impose regime change from the air. They can make another Afghanistan

Bernie Sanders just said the quiet part out loud:

"A lot of US Middle East policy is dictated by Israel. It was Israel who decided they wanted to go to war."

He exposes how Netanyahu has manipulated America into wars for 40 years, from Iraq to Iran.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.
