1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

What a massive victory for democracy. Democrats are beating the GOP at their own game, doing so by asking the voters rather than by fiat, all in pursuit of a nationwide gerrymandering ban. The fight isn’t over, but this is a good night.

In three months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies -Cracked down on bad landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

Happy birthday to the Washington Metro, which opened 50 years ago today with service on 4.6 mi of Red Line between Rhode Is. Ave & Farragut N. System now serves 130 mi. The DC Metro shows that, with good planning & enough investment, the public sector can succeed & build something extraordinary.

DC government seemingly is allowing federal government to eliminate an extremely well-used bike lane along a street that's not even heavily trafficked by cars (I know it well! I use it almost daily!). 15th St corridor is DC's most important north-south bike route. This move would be amputating it.

I commuted on the 15th St bike lane every day for 2 years. It is always packed with bikes, provided the sole safe bikeway between Ward 1 and downtown, and rarely caused any serious congestion on 15th St. This move is simply foolish and flagrantly anti-bike.

I worked on this project as ANC Commissioner. We told planners how critical safe bikeways would be. @ddotdc.bsky.social has a tough job here with the tight ROW, and bus lanes should remain the priority. But unless other new east-west bikeways are built soon, this would be a HUGE missed opportunity.

Because DDOT’s Columbia Heights Crosstown Bus Priority Project operates under the Bus Priority Plan, it excludes parking management and bikeway design. This is a profound, if predictable, disappointme...

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

In an interview with The Dispatch on Thursday, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who previously spoke out in favor of restricting TikTok's access in the U.S., said he had moved from supporting regulating the social media platform to an outright ban since the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel due to its ability to "drive this narrative" of "hateful speech" among young people.
"The way that TikTok is talking about Gaza is designed to divide Americans from each other," he told the digital news outlet. He added that he now thinks it was
"probably time to say that we shouldn't have a Chinese-owned social media company force-feeding divisive information to our kids."

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

There seems to be a virtuous circle.
Segregated bike lanes increase safety, which leads to more riders, which in turn makes cycling even safer.
And if you know someone who cycles, it becomes much more normal for you to try it as well.

Duffy is a completely unserious person who is focusing on this because he has undone all the Airline Passenger Rights enacted under Biden and Buttigieg and he doesn't want people to focus on that. Ironic, of course, because if you're delayed you're going to want some comfy clothes and shoes.
