NY's Penn Station is clogged by trains. Thankfully, there's a solution that does not involve costly reconstruction: through-running. In a newly public report, ETA illustrates how the region can use Metro-North Penn Access to build a truly regional rail network.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium.

Note to Democrats: Stop punching left. The left is fighting mad and the words we use are "Fuck ICE" and "IMPEACH" and "SHUT IT ALL DOWN." Maybe you'd get somewhere if you used those words, too.

Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.

Don’t debate with liars. Liars love debating because they count on not being fact-checked, and know that those of us burdened with integrity and telling the truth won’t be able to keep up with their lies. If you have to debate them, don’t say they’re “wrong,” tell the truth and say they’re lying.

A sudden 10 day closure of airspace in a major US city like El Paso should be THE STORY, with nothing else getting any air time until at minimum someone within the US government says what’s happening and why. It barely even registers on CNN’s site. It’s literally the last item before the page ends.

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”
