Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit
These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

“They’re gonna admit Kansas as a Free State and they’re gonna admit Colorado as a Free State… Now if we do what I’m saying, we’ll most likely never lose our Peculiar Institution.”
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

LSU does not have a full-time president, athletic director or head football coach, and the governor is sticking himself into the whole process.
It simply does not get more dysfunctional than this. www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

This is a huge test of our democracy. What happens next will set the tone for 2028. We have arrived at the moment that everyone has been warning us about. We are about to learn if the few guardrails remaining will prevail and if a man who has done so much damage will leave office peacefully.

Leaving aside the question of why someone would be nostalgic for *walmart* at all, the reason these things don’t exist there anymore is because the company had squeeze every living cent out of its workers and customers. Punch samples and live lobsters aren’t profitable. As usual it’s Capital’s fault
This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.
