Dad, gadfly, housing abundance and safe streets. Your neighbor from Kew Gardens, Queens.
So funny story but except for a lucky gate change mid-flight I would have had to arrive at LGA at 4pm today. Instead, I got in at 1015 am.

1) You can't gerrymander away how "Party of Trump" will play in November. 2) More fodder to have Cassidy and the other GOP senators not comfy with this position to caucus with Dems.

I am begging anyone capping for the LIRR unions to understand that they are up there with the police unions as coordinated grifts stealing from the local population.

Who is going to be forced to re-open the Strait? Iran, who through our sanction regime is pretty insulated from the global economy? Trump and co, who would view any sort of capitulation as damaging to the manly manness?

There is a massive scandal brewing around Trump's pardon of a far-right Honduran authoritarian and convicted drug trafficker in order to reinstall him in power in Honduras, then undermine left leaning governments across Latin America. Seriously, read this:

Hondurasgate Looks Worse than Watergate and Iran-Contra Combined
Hondurasgate is far more than Trump's pardon of cocaine trafficker and former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández.

So 485x (the NYS's 421a replacement) has ended up restricting the number of units, and making the ones built more expensive? Sounds about right.

“Both Russian and pro-Trump U.S. actors are amplifying and spreading misinformation about Alberta separatism in the hope of fraying Canadian unity and sowing distrust.” An overt attack on Canadian sovereignty, meant specifically to manipulate Canadians. That’s what’s fuelling Alberta separation.

Fine. ROGUE ONE is a horribly flawed movie: basically a bunch of strong supporting characters and some decent set pieces holding together a film with a weak main character and atrocious pacing. ANDOR is miles ahead of it, and the original trilogy understands how movies have to breathe.

When Chinese EVs become available here it will mean the end of Detroit, in no small part bc Trump's tariffs have put them on life support and his fossil-centric policies will ensure we're decades behind them. "I did it."

If this were really about the cars being a sleeper threat from China, they could pull aTikTok solution. But it's really about protectionism, bc actual competition would completely gut Detroit.
