Duffy on the New York City subway: "It's dangerous. It's dirty ... they don't want you to drive your car. They want you to take a train. If you want me to take a train, make the train safe, make it clean. But if you won't do that, we're gonna pull money."

Does QAnon know that Trump is literally importing pedophiles and sex traffickers?

From @wildstein.bsky.social on Twitter:
Scoop: a Judge has dismissed indictments against Democratic powerbroker George E. Norcross III and others.

The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I play Wordle first, in order to feel smart and capable, and then I play Connections to remind me that the universe is a baffling, capricious “fuck you”

"Trump also revealed...that he wants to use his power to remove one of the biggest contributing factors to traffic congestion in the first place — bike lanes. 'They should get rid of the bike lanes and the sidewalks in the middle of the street,' he said. 'They’re so bad. They’re dangerous.'" (NYP)

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

As I noted to Bloomberg: This decision is a disaster for New York City; it will increase pollution and traffic, it will reduce quality of life, and it will make improving the subways all the more difficult. I guess the US royal family doesn't care.

I want to thank President Trump and Secretary Duffy for their efforts to halt the current congestion pricing program.

While I have consistently expressed openness to a form of congestion pricing, the current program lines the MTA’s pockets at the expense of New Jerseyans.
