Did this from Locust Point to Fells Point last week (before biking over to Camden Yards). It was great - can’t beat the views on the water.

The Trump administration is wasting no time in implementing the big, ugly budget bill’s worst provisions. From gutting clean energy to propping up the coal industry, here are some of the harmful changes the Department of the Interior is making: earthjusticeaction.org/news/trumps-...

For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views.

Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

Thanks for your coverage as always. Tough night in Nashville for the few of us who made the journey. Changes have to be made.

Trump administration may close Maryland refuge popular with birders Patuxent Research Refuge’s North Tract in Laurel has cut visiting hours. Could the Trump administration could close it entirely?

What if a forest closed without warning? That's the fear for #Patuxent Research Refuge, where #RachelCarson discovered the harms of DDT. Part of it is opens one day a week. Only five staffers monitor the entire 12,000 acres. #Trumpcuts @sejorg.bsky.social

Ensor Street

Ensor Street

A 58 year old man biking in the 900 block of Ensor St was killed by the driver of a car this evening. If you have any information on this crash, please contact BPD and Bikemore.

Ensor St is a six lane arterial, and was supposed to have a separated bike lane installed by 2021.

Ahead of the House vote on the Nasty Ugly Bill, I rallied my colleagues and advocates to make it clear that we do not work for billionaire bosses, Kristi Noem, or wanna be kings. We are voting HELL NO on a bill that harms children, women, immigrants, and all working people.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill will gut clean energy, jack up energy costs, and kill good jobs -- all to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires.

Our team and partners were on the Hill to support @housedemocrats.bsky.social leading the charge to defend our communities and oppose this bill. #VoteNo

Coal mining made my Navajo community sick for decades. Reviving it hurts us all | Opinion Coal continues to destroy the Navajo Nation's health, land, air and water. The last thing we need is for Trump to revive the industry.

Coal pollution has poisoned the Diné and other Tribal communities for decades. Now the Trump administration and their allies in Congress are pushing a bill that expands mining and short-circuits environmental reviews. This must be stopped.

What Would β€˜Transportation Abundance’ Look Like? Fans of the abundance movement say that adding supply solves big problems in housing and health care. But when it comes to getting around, things get complicated.

I had the same Q and saw David put this out in April www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

β€œFor abundance to be a useful framework for transportation policy…. externalities must be taken into consideration. That doesn’t always happen in abundance discourse, and it shows.” πŸ’―

is this project site worth risking this species' extinction?

While this Court enjoys the power to choose which cases
it will hear, its decision to shuffle this case off our docket
without a full airing is a grievous mistakeβ€”one with consequences that threaten to reverberate for generations. Just
imagine if the government sought to demolish a historic cathedral on so questionable a chain of legal reasoning. I have
no doubt that we would find that case worth our time.
Faced with the government’s plan to destroy an ancient site
of tribal worship, we owe the Apaches no less. They may
live far from Washington, D. C., and their history and religious practices may be unfamiliar to many. But that should
make no difference. β€œPopular religious views are easy
enough to defend. It is in protecting unpopular religious
beliefs that we prove this country’s commitment to . . . religious freedom.” Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado

Gorsuch suggests that the Supreme Court is effectively discriminating against Native faiths and favoring mainstream religions by allowing the government to destroy a sacred Native site. (I certainly agree that SCOTUS tends to favor Christianity over all else!) www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

It was great to spend the afternoon with broadcasting legend Dave Johnson, DC United reps, and a couple dozen Baltimore soccer fanatics talking DCU, 2026 World Cup, and Baltimore soccer history.

What’s a city have to do to get our MLS Next Pro team? We are ready!

It’s week 3 of standing on Capitol Hill and calling out the attacks on our environment, health, and communities in Republicans’ reconciliation bill. This monstrosity of a bill could get a vote TONIGHT.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Baltimore’s top YIMBYs want to erase zoning rules blocking more housing A package of five bills will attempt to make it easier to build and redevelop Baltimore City properties.

Mayor Scott and YIMBY leaders on the City Council introduced bills today that would roll back Baltimore's restrictions on development density, allow people to build closer to their property lines, and do away with requirements for off-street parking www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/ho...

It’s a perfect day to bike to work and call out House Republicans while doing so for passing a bill through the Natural Resources Committee β€” in literally the dead of night β€” to sell off public lands like the Arctic Refuge to the highest bidder.
