We can turn “before” streets into “designed for people” streets.
The South Boulevard Safe Street project just broke ground—a huge step toward a safer, more accessible connection between neighborhoods in southeast Atlanta. Your support helps us push for more projects just like this across the city.

With Trump declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization, it bears remembering that he once told us that the MAGA January 6 insurrectionists were ANTIFA.

"We really want to fund those projects that are important for the nation, for our economy...and we don’t want to see distracting social-justice requirements"
This is the future we're in for: anti-woke infrastructure spending. It looks a lot like the past.

Feds Send Billions to States for Highways. Locals Want a Bigger Share.
Cities and counties are asking Congress to include more direct funding for local projects in the next transportation bill. States are fighting to protect existing formulas.

JUST IN: President Trump says he's firing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, after a Trump ally accused Cook of making false statements on a mortgage application. The president's authority to remove a Fed governor may be challenged in court.

Also, and not for nothing (and also, I am not a lawyer — was rejected by *every law school I applied to) that Fed carve-out in Wilcox was thin to begin with. We’ll see what happens now…
It’s hard to overstate how big a deal this is - for the economy (ours and globally), for the rule of law, and for the proper and efficient function of government.

President Trump said he was removing Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's board of governors, an extraordinary step that could undermine the central bank's independence and seeks to oust the first Black woman to serve on the board. Legally, a president may only dismiss a governor “for cause.”
Trump Says He Is Firing Lisa Cook From Fed Board of Governors
“I have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position,” Mr. Trump said in a letter. Her dismissal threatened to touch off a landmark legal battle over the Fed’s independence.
