Holy smokes: Residents of Washington County, Utah, who voted for Trump by 52 points(!) in 2024, believe that water conservation, transportation, and environmental protection are three of the top four priorities for local government.
That's as complete a repudiation of Welcome PAC as you can find

This report has two fundamental contradictions:
1. None of the policies the authors advocate for can happen if Trump can issue pocket rescissions, rule by law via SCOTUS, and maintain his own paramilitaries

It took me exactly eight minutes from taking that photo to getting *off* the bus bridge at Garnett Station. This was a smoother experience than any of the MBTA shuttles I've done (which was a lot)
The new Greyhound station is a massive upgrade over the old one, with clear windows and clean floors
