“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

The D.C. National Guard has spread a lot of mulch - over 380 cubic tons - and picked up trash in Washington, D.C., amid the Trump administration's push to combat crime in the capital.
Troops are mostly staying in hotels and have access to hot meals around the clock, officials said. The administration said it's not tallying the cost of all this yet and has no idea how much it will cost the federal government. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/ODUt_e

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land. What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!

In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents. I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
NEW: Homeland Security Investigations & U.S. Secret Service served a criminal search warrant in an upscale Irvine neighborhood this morning, targeting the suspect they believe was responsible for posting fliers w/ the names, photos, phone numbers, & locations of ICE agents in SoCal in February. The target wasn’t home, and an arrest wasn’t made.

We are told he lives at home with his parents, and was previously arrested at UC Irvine during an on-campus Pro-Palestinian protest.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons was on scene for the operation, telling me he took it personally that someone would try to put a target on his agents in an effort to interfere with them and put them at risk. Says person responsible will be held accountable.

We will not be identifying the target unless an arrest is made.

PHOTOS: Underneath are four splashy media photos from the operation.

Picture of the flier, which has photos of four people, along with their names and phone numbers for some of them (which Fox News redacted), which a message in Spanish saying that these individuals are working in Southern California to carry out immigration arrests, accusing them of terrorizing local communities and kidnapping residents, and saying many people have died while in jails, prisons, and detention centers.
