This is what tariffs were always all about for Trump. Not about revenue, trade, domestic manufacturing, GDP - it’s about giving himself the unilateral power to decide economic winners and losers on a case by case basis, with kings and CEOs coming to him asking forbearance..

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

A move that will escape wide notice but will reduce safety around the National Mall. For no apparent reason (except to favor cars over bikes?). “After the 15th Street bike lanes were constructed, bicycle injury crashes decreased by 91 percent.” 🎁 link wapo.st/4uOy2Kn

After the 15th Street bike lanes were constructed, bicycle injury crashes decreased by 91 percent, according to the District Department of Transportation.

Authoritarians always require both of these things to be true: That The Enemy is weak and easily crushed by the might of The Leader. AND That The Enemy is strong, at or already inside the gates, and that you must sacrifice your freedom to The Leader to increase His might to stop them.

Huge wins for clean energy in Virginia and New Jersey tonight. The Trumpists attacked on electrical costs - and got clobbered. People didn’t like Trump’s braindead effort to take away clean, affordable energy. This ends any talk of retreat on clean energy.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc. Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

It is very exciting to see NJ Transit getting into the game of transit-agency-led development. The agency controls 8000 acres, and it expects it could create up to 20,000 residential units on these. www.njtransit.com/press-releas...

The Phil Murphys and Josh Gottheimers of the world who praised Trump when he tried to cancel congestion pricing were making a fool's bet that he was only doing it because he hated the idea of tolling drivers like they did and not because he hated a place that didn't vote for him.
