Democrats in Congress picked Connolly to serve as the ranking member of the Oversight Committee in December, rejecting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s bid to serve as the party’s leader on the powerful panel. Ocasio-Cortez, 35, was one of multiple younger Democrats seeking generational change among the party’s top ranks.

Dreeshen (author of the letter) previously worked on the Trump campaign, though lately he seems not to want to talk about that....

Even worse:

Fiore, who does not have a law degree, was appointed as a judge in deep-red Nye County in 2022 shortly after she lost her campaign for state treasurer.

Actually, the law does just say "above 85db" is not allowed. Doesn't matter if the car is stock or not.

As Daisy was laid to rest alongside Kayley in a modest Mennonite churchyard, her father hopes her story sparks reflection — if not on vaccines, then on care, compassion, and the urgent need to protect the vulnerable.

'She was my little girl,' he says softly. 'And they let her down.'

No, you let her down.

I'm guessing most Federal workers aren't stupid enough to believe Trump would actually pay the buyout amount. Especially after Presidential "advisor" Elon failed to pay Twitter severance.

Commenters here are missing the reason police are issuing court summons:

Some advocates for delivery workers say that the increased scrutiny of cyclists weighs especially heavily on an already vulnerable group. Many people who ride electric bikes in New York are undocumented migrants working for restaurants and food delivery apps, said Ligia Guallpa, the executive director of Los Deliveristas Unidos, which represents delivery workers. The crackdown on electric bikes and scooters comes in the midst of the Trump administration’s aggressive enforcement of immigration law.

Sal Cohen is among the immigrants who received a pink court summons connected to the increased enforcement effort. Originally from Turkey, and in the United States on a conditional green card, Mr. Cohen had not heard about the push when he rolled through a red light at the intersection of Grand Street and Union Avenue in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood on his way home from the gym this month.

A squad car pulled up alongside him and he was issued a summons.

A week and a half later, Mr. Cohen, 28, stood in line outside Courtroom No. 3, on the 16th floor of the municipal building, worried that ICE agents might appear.

“I’m here legally, but you never know,” he said. “I’m nervous.”

Not mentioned in the article is that these systems are still illegal in the US.

The people signing this petition are also opposed to road redesigns, particularly ones involving road diets.

Slap a sticker on it (this one is from Lake Tahoe):

Trump should focus on Ohio instead:

No, it's gotten worse over the past 30 years.

"Trump administration Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins recently addressed rising prices, suggesting that Americans should begin maintaining backyard coops and produce their own eggs."

Having to grow your own food is peak dystopia.

This has nothing to do with historic preservation. Berkeley has even gone so far as declaring a parking lot as historic to block construction of an apartment building.

Despite what the headline says, no execs went to jail. The two who were punished with jail terms were middle management.

Martin Winterkorn, the CEO, will probably avoid any serious consequences.

To clarify: the eBike "hit" the car because the driver pulled out into traffic without looking, so the eBike rider was another victim.

The e-bike rider had the right-of-way. "Local police have confirmed e-bike riders were in the traffic lane and the driver pulled in front of them instead of yielding to oncoming traffic."

The portrait was originally removed by Act of Congress. Military staff who reinstated the portrait are following an illegal order.

For those interested in this topic, there are better sources of info than a NJB youtube video. In my experience, NJB is more interested in clicks than accuracy, and this video is no exception.

In particular, the complaints about oversized firetrucks is a bit overblown because any halfway competent bike planner can work around that when designing bike facilities. When cities say they can't do a bike project because of FD concerns, it usually means they just don't want to do an otherwise popular project, and are using flimsy FD excuses as a convenient way to kill a project.

LOL 'Cities making the switch more possible than ever'. Maybe in Europe but definitely not US or Canada.

Also, a guy with really severe back pain is totally going to ride a Citibike on NYC potholed streets.
