SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Madam Comptroller, may I interest you in a three-phase plan to unify Chicagoland transit by creating a regional rail system largely on infrastructure we already have? #BuildTheTunnel

When decency and empathy go, so does our humanity. At some point, it’s not just the hateful voices—it’s the willfully indifferent ones we can no longer afford to keep close. I’m grateful every day for those who choose compassion over cruelty, and remind us there’s still good out there.
Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump: “We’ve lost decency. We’ve lost civility. We’ve lost respect for the rule of law. We’ve normalized verbal abuse. We’ve normalized bullying. Out the window goes character, integrity. He’s everything that’s wrong with not just America but being a human being.”

A Biden-era rule giving free API access to bank data is being scrapped by the CFPB under Trump. JPMorgan’s already warning fintechs like PayPal, Venmo, Robinhood, and Coinbase to get ready to pay.

Another “win” for deregulation, brought to you by Wall Street’s favorite administration.

Zohran Mamdani, who just bested Cuomo in mayoralty primary, wants to bring universal "school-streets" (school-proximate streets closed to cars + trucks) to #NYC.

That's made things a whole lot safer, and healthier, for kids in #Paris and #London, but until now, it's been a non-starter in the US.

China now has 1 terawatt of solar capacity. For reference, the entire US power grid has 1.3TW of capacity.
MAJOR MILESTONE 🏆 China's installed capacity of solar has now reached 1TW☀️

It's an astonishing achievement, and seemingly accelerating. 92GW were commissioned in May 2025 alone 😮 By contrast, total UK solar capacity is just over 20GW.

Just amazing.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

If there are Seven Cycling Wonders of the World, then Beijing’s elevated bike expressway deserves to be near the top of that list: a six-metre wide, 5.4-km long piece of show-stopping infrastructure that is quickly become an important form of transportation and recreation for 12,000 users each day.🧵

Public transit and non-motorized options like biking and walking take up significantly less space than cars. We should prioritize alternative transit options, so those who NEED to drive will face less congestion, while others can enjoy smoother, more comfortable transit through other means.

The SUV that many think of as safe for their kids is actually not safe at all.
