Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

This is why I introduced a bill to ban stock trading across all three branches of government.   No one should get a free pass when they’ve been trusted to work in the best interest of the people they serve.   Especially not the President.

Trump won only 18 months ago, for the second time. Yes, he’s unpopular now, but the idea that most people have simply shaken the scales from their eyes and finally figured out that he’s bad - well, we have some recent history that might urge us to be cautious about that.

As soon as Trump said he was “de-escalating” in Minneapolis the press took it at face value and rolled back its coverage even though ICE continued to rampage the city. Now, because Susan Collins said they weren’t going to conduct operations in Maine, the same is happening there.
