people still talking about how Democrats need to do more for the working class of middle America have to contend with the fact that we did exactly that and it did not work

Biden spent all of his political capital on bipartisan infrastructure and manufacturing bills and got nothing in return

After leaving WHO, Trump officials propose more expensive replacement to duplicate it HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

Exclusive: After pulling out of WHO, the Trump administration is proposing spending $2 billion a year to replicate the global disease surveillance and outbreak functions the United States once helped build, which will cost about three times as much.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Wealthy New Yorkers Who Take Th... 17h

Why make buses free for poor and working class New Yorkers when you could instead earmark it for projects that will never happen, that might come online twenty years from now? Big brained urbanists! (not to mention the figures in the article are fantastical)

@sam_d_1995•1d
free buses are a nice perk but we should think bigger about how a billion dollars a year in new transit funding could truly transform the fabric of the city
Paris is already doing it with the "Grand Paris Express", no reason we can't do it here in NYC too x.com/ericgoldwyn/st...

it’s kind of remarkable that we’ve reached a point where free buses (a tweak that will provide a marginal value to our overall transit network) is viewed as more progressive than a sustained investment in expanding mass transit in underserved areas across the city

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

i will never get over this rebecca tiffany quote: the goal of yimbyism is a world where "every trans eighteen-year-old who is stuck living with unsupportive family [is] able to afford an apartment in a vibrant urban space with transit on a minimum wage job."

the "the myth of consensual sex" meme where it's a couple saying they consent but then jesus is off to the side saying he does't, but it's been changed so it says
"the myth of consensual urban transit planning"
And the couple is labeled "city dwellers"
the man is saying "we should make it easier to not drive here"
The woman is saying "like building bike lanes or adding bus routs."
And Jesus has been replaced with clip art of a farmer, labeled "someone who lives 1000 miles away and has no involvement whatsoever." and is saying "Stop trying to take my car away I will kill you"
text at the bottom still says "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"

any discussion of city transit improvement online ever
