Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Given the choice of millions not being able to afford healthcare going forward vs a few thousand people being delayed at the airport, it's clear that Ds must cave because the latter inconveniences the rich

Since 2023, ridership increased by one third.

Lost revenue was made up for by €124 million "mobility tax" on payroll, for companies with over 11 employees. (They rely on transit to have workers show up at the office!)

"Incidents" (petty crime) is down by 9 %.

the biggest conclusion out of Mamdani's win is that the New York Times now only exists to make progressives mad, it influences no one who wields effective power

If you're anxious about the NJ election results (reporting starts at 8pm) - follow the Virginia shifts in vote which starts coming in at 7pm. It was pretty predictive in 2021. NYC doesn't report until 9pm and California starts at 11pm (EST) with those results famously taking 72 days to finalize.

According to Priorities USA post-election polling, "Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump — a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines."

Alexandria & Richmond, Virginia have both implemented free bus service, as Mamdani has proposed.

They have also succeeded in increasing ridership—as of latest data, their ridership in 2025 is 31% & 25% higher than in 2019, respectively.

Overall US transit ridership is 20% lower in 2025 than 2019.
Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.
