👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers.
That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value.
It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

BREAKING: I’m hearing the great Donald Shoup has passed away.
Few urbanists can really be called game-changers, but Shoup powerfully changed how we see parking rules and their huge affect on cities.
The recent revolution in parking standards was inspired by his unique work.
Thank you Donald. #RIP

I'm glad that I have folding #bike to bring on #bus because Lower Keys Shuttle's bike racks are full. I love living & working in place where bike racks are full. I finally saw Florida Keys this weekend by riding #transit between Key West and Florida City. #foldingbike #bikerack #FloridaKeys #KeyWest
