Well, the regressive policies march on for this admin. RAISE grants turned back to BUILD grants. Eliminated criteria - 1. walkability, 2. Electrification 3. Union engagement. Maybe I do agree with the premise that agencies have too much autonomy. 😮💨

Never accept this as normal and don't let Fetterman and the other Dems reaching out to Trump try and normalize it. He is unfit for office. §3 of 14th Ammendment
For those keeping score, Trump should’ve been prosecuted by DOJ in 2017 for his crimes with Russia to become president in 2016, convicted by the Senate in Impeachment #1 for extorting Zelensky and in Impeachment #2 for trying to overturn the 2020 election, and prosecuted sooner by Garland’s DOJ.

Jeff Speck, Charles Montgomery, et al have written on this ... nice to see some finally leveraging this.
Seattle has figured out the incredibly simple recipe for growing transit ridership: run frequent, reliable transit service to the places people want to go.
Seattle's Sound Transit light rail system carried 106,000 riders on the average weekday in October, reaching a monthly record of more than 3 million trips www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us...
Ridership has been powered by extensions to Northgate (2021), Lynnwood (2024) & Bellevue (2024).
