Rep. Larsen, the ranking Dem member of the House transport committee, said: “Where do these harebrained ideas come from? Millions of people travel everyday using transit… Transit investments create and support jobs. Need I go on? These heavy-handed, top-down, egghead think tank ideas need to die.”
Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit
These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

POLITICO Pro: Trump administration proposals seek to eliminate transit funding

Many races on the King County ballot, including for the mayor of Seattle, are within one percentage point of each other. Please verify that your ballot was counted, and if not, you can “cure” your ballot to ensure that it counts.
You have to send this link to everyone you know who voted I Seattle: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... It takes like 30 seconds to make sure your vote was counted. Folks on here have all seen this probably, but your friends and family might not have!

Asking the Supreme Court to sign off on letting you starve scores of millions of Americans is an extremely wild and cruel policy choice.
BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month.
The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments.
DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.
