San Diego has 2x the population of Helsinki and about 270 people died in traffic related fatalities in 2024
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

He's right, we should welcome her. It's not like Majorie Taylor Greene has ever done anything that would make an establishment Democrat uncomfortable, like, you know, being elected Mayor of NYC by a huge margin. She's sort of against Trump, so she's cool.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Moment that will live in my head forever:
Hearing Harris give a speech over the radio on the bus talking about how ruthless she will be on immigration and an old man shouted over top of it "I don't care what she says, she's going to let in illegals and ruin this country!"
Conservatives "don't care"

New: A site licensing Trump's name is selling merch with the presidential seal — including a $20 beer-pong set with “Presidential themed balls.”
Federal law says you can’t manufacture or sell likenesses of the seal without authorization.

Need to see full plans for both of these goals from any serious candidate.
the Democratic Party should have 2 major goals for the next time it holds power: (1) completely rebuild the destroyed federal government capacity, and (2) crush the GOP, which enabled so much corruption and immiseration. destroy their funding, jail their leaders, make it so a new party has to emerge

Appreciate this-I really could not remember when he became widely known.
"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

Whenever Ken Starr returns to the news, it's fun to remember that one deputy investigating Bill Clinton (and Vice Foster) was ... Brett Kavanaugh!
Extra fun to remember that GWBush FL Recount team in 2000 included Brett K, J Roberts, AC Barrett.
Plus help from FL gov Jeb Bush. Good times!

As the Trump administration ramps up its crackdown on illegal immigration, it has turned to Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, to try to increase deportations. On "The Daily," our reporter spoke with Bovino about why his militaristic approach may be here to stay.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.
