Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

So, I purchased the center and the land it sits on — the best $2 million I can imagine spending.

I am a product of food stamps/SNAP.
They helped my family make the most basic of ends meet.
It allowed both my mom and me to level up in the world.
I can hardly think of a program more essential to fulfilling the American dream and to common human decency than this.

For every $1 spent on SNAP, the economy gets back $1.60 because of the “multiplier effect”.
But since I was a kid on food stamps, I have an even wilder number: for every $1 spent on a *kid* in SNAP (1-5yo), the economy gets back $62. That is a shockingly GOOD investment.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution.
But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe.
Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

Yesterday, I passed this small patch that had somehow escaped the ubiquitous ryegrass and sheep/cattle treatment.
It stood out like a flashing neon light, thronged with wildflowers,native trees, flying insects, and birds. Nature's only way of crying out to just be given a chance.

They cleaned subways during Covid. Now, they’ll get millions in back pay.
So proud of our team in the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social’s Bureau of Labor Law who won this $3 million settlement on behalf of 450 mostly immigrant workers who risked their safety for ours.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out
