Opinion: CT still needs a regional approach to housing "Towns leading the way" is precisely what got us to where we are now -- at least 110,000 homes short of the need.

⚠️ 17.6 million fewer vehicles entered Manhattan
⚠️ Crashes are down 14%
⚠️ Traffic injuries down 15%
✅ Subway ridership up 9%

The $9 fee goes to funding mass transit capital improvements.

Unpopular POV: When ppl wear eyeglasses you notice before they arrive it makes me take them less seriously.

The land of "live free or die," New Hampshire, has state-run liquor stores (where it's so much cheaper ppl travel from other states to buy from them) but Zohran Mamdani is a "communist" for suggesting a pilot program of City-run grocery stores. Make it make sense.

I suppose if you grew up on violent video games, #Superman2025 seems like a movie and not how I experienced it - a visual and aural assault on my eyes and ears. I tapped out at 30 minutes. (David Corenswet is not, however, a visual assault.)

Please explain to me how a talk show (host, band, sidekick, and writers, working on a basic set, with a constant stream of movie stars, celebrities, musicians, authors and politicians, eager to appear for free to flog their latest movie, book, album, etc) is a MONEY LOSER?! #stephencolbert

YouTube video by Working Dog Productions How to Fix Traffic Congestion In Australia | Utopia

IMPORTANT: If you can watch only ONE video about why more & wider roads won’t solve traffic congestion no matter how many billions you spend, watch THIS one. Then share it with EVERYONE.

Jevons Paradox isn’t a rock band.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

I'm sure it won't be consequential in the long run.

I've paid all my cards in full every mo for 25 years, haven't had a mtg in 15 years, a car loan since the 1980s. I put $2500 in new appliances on a card they downgrade me. I don't need a credit rating cuz I can pay for everything in cash. But this is economic terrorism of ppl who can't. Honestly, FU

This is the affect of a person who does not believe she should be questioned in any way, about anything. What a disgrace.

You handled it like a real professional journalist. Your colleagues should take notes.

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How’s the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And Trump’s big Medicaid cuts are only for Black people, right?

The GOP just collectively voted to add $4 Trillion to the deficit.

Why do #Republicans hate Americans so much? #bigbeautifulbill

Their urge to impose pain on people is stronger than any strategic impulses they might have.

It's getting to be really absurd at this point

Trump Voters Rage After Being Betrayed by Trump They just found out he lies.

“I trusted you. I’m done with MAGA and all your bullshit. My son is a sitting duck on a fucking destroyer you stupid asshole.”

BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE

Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

It would be great if they would use those resources to make their website and phone app functional.

Much of the white working class (which I come from and moved to the professional class, as was once The American Dream) in 2025 would rather live in poverty than see one Black or brown person get one bit of their tax dollars back in any sort of govt benefit. The Dems cannot win these ppl.

People are "glitter-bombing" ICE agents not in uniform so they can be identified. Forgive me this little bit of pride during #lgbtq Pride Month, but I really don't think str8 ppl would have thought up glitter-bombing all by themselves. You're welcome.

I know what you are doing Visa and Mastercard by sending paper statements on legal length paper so they can't be put into 3 ring binders. I don't care. I am still not opting out of paper statements. #CreditCardTips

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

Is anyone else noticing a pattern here? #Trump tears up a diplomatic or trade agreement saying it's stupid, or they're ripping us off, or whatever. Then, he agrees to essentially the same thing and claims he's a great negotiator, yada yada. World leaders are laughing their asses off at this Goober.

The Purpose of Trump's Terror What Trump Really Wants In Los Angeles Is Blood

The Purpose of Trump's Terror: What Trump Wants In LA Is Blood

"The goal isn’t to scare off a few undocumented gardeners and housekeepers or terrify asylum-seeking mothers. It’s to normalize the idea that active-duty troops can be used on American streets against American citizens."

They need to spend more time on their own GD marriages. Good grief.

If you want to implement an authoritarian regime you have to make the population uneducated, isolated, and poor. It all makes sense.
