This is nuts. @murray.senate.gov: “Tying funding for transit projects to marriage rates and how many babies a woman has is the sort of bizarre and dystopian idea you’d expect in a TV show, not actual policy put forth by the U.S. government — yet here we are."

Trump administration unveils plan to tie high birth and marriage rates to transit funding
The federal government is seeking to revamp a national program that supports rail and bus rapid transit.

Did the Houston Astros cheat at baseball? Sadly we will never know, because nobody ever wants to talk about it or brings it up ever.

being in the DSA is fun because you get to spend most of your time helping people with social anxiety canvass for democratic school board candidates and then go online to see people with blue wave emojis in their bios compare you to pol pot

New transit payment systems in NYC & around the country, run by a company with ex-military contractor executives & a partnership with Palantir, collect data on movements of riders and haven't explained what they do with it, including whether they give it to ICE. prospect.org/2026/07/06/t...

How quickly things change… 8 years ago, running for AG, Weiser *was* the establishment pick and very narrowly won his first primary against an anti-establishment leftist. It’s been funny seeing him lumped in coverage with folks like Kiros and Gonzales this year, because he is very much not that.

Will just reiterate that in the many years I covered Polis closely, he never showed particular interest in the topic of over-sentencing, nor in criminal justice reform generally. This decision would read a lot differently if Polis had any sort of record as an advocate for clemency.

rare in north america do you get a rapid transit project does all of this: -replaces one of the busiest existing bus routes in a city (wilshire is the 2nd busiest) -is 2-3x faster than the bus (7 min vs 22-30 min) -and way faster than driving (18 min+) los angeles did it. grade-separated rail wins
google map showing travel options between la cienega and western on wilshire. car is 18 min, subway os 10 min, bus is 29 min

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

It seems to me that Democrats are hot to put more money into the Administration's hands that they can use contrary to the law. In their pursuit of a bipartisan transportation bill, they are willing to reward the most extreme partisanship. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/05/07/t...

Congress should refuse to negotiate the bill that will dictate America's transportation future until the White House stops holding our transportation present hostage.

some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

Jonathan Karl tweet: This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls:

“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”

“It’s a beautiful thing”
