Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Urban busways quietly manufacture land value, because they dramatically expand the person-capacity of city streets. Cities can move 10x more people per hour in a busway, expanding employers' talent pool and thus attracting investment. The math is simple

The Strait of Hormuz is closed & gas prices are going to go up, our country is broke & the war costs $1 billion dollars a day, the president has lost his marbles & there's no clear strategy for the war in Iran. And centrist Democratic Senators are going to fund this boondoggle why??

Two nights ago it was federal agents coming to detain me and others. Last night it was Trump cancelling the midterms. Whether or not any of that is even possible, it’s so stressful to have this infiltrate my sleep. I wake up more tired than when I fell asleep.

For most of the history of cars, turning right on red was illegal due to its obvious danger, since drivers looking to their left for oncoming vehicles can't see pedestrians in the crosswalk on their right. It should be again.
