There’s a false narrative out there that as president, Trump can do whatever he wants with the executive branch. False! Congress has passed laws creating agencies, appropriating funds, and crafting procedures. Constitution requires President to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

At the center of legal challenges against Trump's executive actions is whether he's telling federal agencies to violate a key legal standard established nearly 80 years ago.
Trump's executive actions are getting challenged as 'arbitrary.' What does that mean?

Opinion | The biggest questions about Trump's new AG pick Pam Bondi
In addition to being “learned in the law,” as the Judiciary Act of 1789 provides, an attorney general is expected to execute a president’s priorities while protecting the rule of law.

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

The new $9 toll is too low, but is set to increase to the original & more strategic $15 charge by 2031 (too slow). The funds are badly needed to finance smart transit infrastructure.
