For a preview of what's to come from AVs, look to San Francisco. As ex-SFMTA CEO @jeffreytumlin.bsky.social explained here, affluent people love Waymos. But they muck up transport networks by blocking streets and obstructing transit. What’s good for individual riders may not be good for the city.

yeah I mean it’s genuinely sad that the “reasonable old school” Republican (who Dems eagerly and unanimously voted to confirm) is out here doing pressers blatantly geeked out coke and it’s not subtle

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

One of the most blatantly authoritarian threats in a Trump term full of them

This is a wild ass story - both the details of the pentagon official and fact that pentagon seemed to coordinate w pizzagate guy to stop them form publishing. Should be treated as a serious threat to freedom of press

This is the gentleman who directed the National Security Council on China under Biden ⬇️

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Americans are paying higher costs in the Trump/GOP affordability crisis brought on by Trump/GOP’s tariffs (taxes on American consumers & businesses)! Bills continue piling up with increased costs for electricity, groceries, health care etc.! You pay more $ all so Trump/GOP & billionaires get more $!

Polish Foreign Minister replies to Musk: 🇵🇱

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

@borowitzreport.bsky.social nails it!

-Bust up monopolies -Boost unions -$20/hr fed minimum wage -Ban Wall Street from buying homes -Pass M4A -Universal childcare -Get rid of Trump’s tariffs -Enact UBI -Tax the rich These are crucial steps to making America affordable again. Every Democrat must fight for this.

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Instead of working to lower costs or protect your health care, Republicans spent this week pushing racist and xenophobic bills that will hurt our communities. @capac.house.gov Chair Meng and I broke down exactly how these bills burden teachers and harm our children.

"Does this feel like or look like a well-run competent administration? It took them 10 months to discover that the United States doesn't grow bananas and that therefore if we tariff bananas that that's not going to bring banana factories on shore."

While everyone’s sharing their Spotify wrapped today, here’s my “Congress Wrapped” for 2025!

While serving as Acting US Attorney, Bill Essayli allegedly engaged in a pattern of misconduct and abuse of power to target Trump’s political critics. This is unacceptable and wrong. That’s why I am leading an effort to hold Essayli accountable.

📌This cabinet is a grotesque collection of anti-vaxxers, stone-cold bigots, and crooks, whose treachery, incompetence, and disregard for facts is stunning in its odious audacity. It is a mountain of garbage threatening our safety and well-being, and would have been impossible to imagine 10 yrs ago.

"During World War II, Ms. Oba’s grandparents were among the more than 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forced by the federal government to live for years in remote, hastily constructed internment camps across the West."

The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

The MAGAs who suddenly pretend to care about African Christians being killed in Nigeria are the same ones who openly ridicule Black Christians being murdered by police in America & celebrate Latino Christians being rounded up, tortured, & deported from America So let's talk Facts on Nigeria: 1/3

The DoE has reclassified numerous health professional and other degrees, limiting access to federal student loan programs eligible for the higher OBBBA loan caps from thousands to a few hundred. As ALWAYS, this is about $$. We're about to become REALLY "great"... shorturl.fm/xs7gY

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Scott Bessant says beef prices are high—not because Trump killed our beef trade with tariffs, not because Trump gave Argentina $40B, not because China is now buying Argentinian beef instead of American beef—but because migrants are illegally crossing the border & bringing their cows with them.😑
