Vingegaard may never win another Tour if Pogacar keeps this up. Unreal.

14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome. I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck.
Today that same company -- now called Vox Media -- sold Polygon to Valnet.

It's insane how congestion pricing in NYC has been just about *the* most unambiguously successful new policy implemented in my lifetime and still all the dumbest people in government want to get rid of it
Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing:
- Complaints about car-honking are down 70%
- The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48%
- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.
One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.

It still blows my mind that we had ranked voting last mayoral election and there were multiple, highly qualified, better choices for NYC and somehow people ranked Adams in their top 3

Adams absolutely, undoubtedly, cannot serve another year. He should not be in office, he should not be in any primaries, and NYC must move on from him immediately.
Gov. Hochul calls a meeting in Manhattan for tomorrow, saying “the alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the last two weeks is troubling and cannot be ignored.”

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
