Clean air is now a “burden.” Trump’s EPA announced it will reconsider smog-control requirements for parts of Texas after Gov. Greg Abbott pushed for relief. This comes as Abbott declared a diesel price “disaster” and separately requested waivers for cleaner diesel standards.

Then maybe we should imitate European nations like Norway, who have lots more police per capita and much less emotion-triggered violence overall. And stop wasting $$ on prisons- FYI I’ve volunteered in our prisons & they are a prime case of waste & abuse

The foreign assets of Lukoil, the Russian energy giant, are being sold off at fire sale prices because U.S. sanctions have made them nearly worthless for investors in Russia. The corrupt deal involves gas stations in the United States, refineries in Eastern Europe and oil fields around the world.

And that's without gun control in the way that you and I mean it? Not even talking about guns.” The upshot : we need to spend less on prisons & MORE on police so they can do these effective interventions!

Cause that's what it is. It's just these endless cycles of retaliation and revenge. And so they have these meetings every week where they go through names of people. Billy's friend just got shot. Can someone go see Billy?…. So effective policing…Not just with police, with community leaders.

where they…can identify, looking at police records and doing network maps, the portion of the community at any given time that's at risk for being shot or shooting. It's relatively small…1% [of the] population.

June Hussein Taylor @utahcornell.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Why? Because a homicide is a function of two things. It's how lethal your wounds were and also how quickly you got to the hospital…. what you need to talk about is how many times do people shoot each other? That's what you should be talking about. Don't talk about homicide.

Tweets from Steve Kastenbaum

Mayor Mamdani was the only senior elected official who stayed at the 9/11 memorial ceremony at the WTC until the end. It started at 8:40 AM, and concluded close to 12:30 PM. Most of the other current electeds left at various times. Former Mayors Bloomberg & Giuliani stayed.

Mamdani stayed until the end of the memorial ceremony at which point he was seen talking with 9/11 victims' family members. All of the other senior elected officials left the 9/11 Memorial before the reading of the names concluded.

The source tells me that V.P. Vance was the first to leave the VIP area, and other elected officials began "schmoozing." At some point, Mayor Giuliani's people started "bringing people over to talk with him." CORRECTION:I used photos in a previous similar post that were from 2025
