The secretary of transportation literally goes on tv every day to talk about how pants-pissing terrified he is of public transportation
Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."

What are your top 3 places you want to travel to that you've never travelled to before?
I think for me (in no particular order) it's:
(sorry I have 4)
1. Petra, Jordan
2. Spain and/or Italy
3. More places in Northern India
4. Drive as far north as possible (to edge of Arctic Ocean)

Reagan gutted the federal bureaucracy in the early 1980s and, an half century later, our nation’s capacity to function never recovered. That, not some imaginary red tape, is why NEPA never works for expediting projects.
What’s happening now is much worse and will last much longer.

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"
It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017
This is what America looked like before the EPA cleaned it up
A snapshot from America before the impact of the EPA and the effects of rules regulating clean water and air were felt.

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans.
Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/
