The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

If you think Amsterdam managed to avoid being overrun by cars, you’re wrong.

They also surrendered their streets to cars for many decades.

But the people fought back, and forced leaders to see their mistake.

There's nothing magical about #Amsterdam.

They just saw their mistake, and changed it.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Plant a lot more urban trees.

Getting older doesn’t mean losing joy. It means redefining it.

The Netherlands 🇳🇱 and its people showed me how urbanism and active transportation can transform life. When possible, choosing movement, walking or cycling, turns even the most mundane tasks into something enriching.

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

JPMORGAN: “.. Trump seems inclined to impose hefty tariffs .. upending three decades of free trade. .

“.. a nearly 5% tumble in US equity prices in just the past two weeks does not seem to have tempered the administration’s tariff goals. The risk of our ‘extreme US policies’ scenario have risen.” 🇺🇸
