The draconian cuts in spending supposedly eliminate wasted money. Sorry, spending money to save lives is NEVER a waste.

… and ashamed of my fellow Americans who voted for him despite all the clues, warnings and rhetoric that indicated what his second term would be.

Good morning Karen!

U.S. Threatens to Cut Off M.T.A. Funds Over Subway Safety Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, demanded a long list of details about crime in the subway and on buses in New York.

The Trump admin is threatening to pull back funding from the MTA, if it doesn’t crack down on crime. But crime *is* down on the subway, and it’s unclear what the letter intends to accomplish. The timing is noteworthy: Trump wants congestion pricing to end this Friday www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/n...

Thank you 60 Minutes - this segment was at times frightening and at times exhilarating.
