"Zero of those people have been killed by e-bikes or e-scooters,” said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. “Yet here we are at a hearing [on] 21 bills aimed at regulating e-bikes and e-scooters. None are about regulating dangerous driving and only two are about infrastructure.”

Our opponents—a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires—are already highly organized, spending hundreds of millions of dollars to lobby state governments and the White House, form PACs like Leading the Future, gather voter data, and circulate candidate questionnaires before races begin.

Trump allies himself w/Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship w/Kim Jong Un, I am not happy that the US has agreed to Joint Military Exercises…I recently asked the President of SK if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of Iran, & they said, ‘No thanks!’”

Trump allies himself with totalitarian dictator Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful … While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’”

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month.
