A block in Fishtown didn’t qualify for a speed bump so neighbors tried installing their own Parents were concerned about traffic on a block that has 20 children under age 18.

Seems like getting safety improvements is a big hurdle but having them removed? Easy

I've seen a lot of chatter about how important it is to run for election workers/committee people in Philly, but I am begging everyone to get involved in your RCO too. RCOs have a surprising amount of power and a lot of influence with local officials and sometimes they aren't making good decisions!

He’s trying to make everyone β€” press & otherwise β€” think twice before criticizing him, for fear of a lawsuit or criminal prosecution, however frivolous.

This gets more dangerous by the hour.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.

Opinion | There Is a Liberal Answer to Elon Musk (Gift Article) Right-wing populism thrives on scarcity. The answer is abundance. But a politics of abundance will work only if Democrats confront where their approach has failed.

One thing about Andrew Cuomo running for mayor is that he's not even bothering to present a rationale about why it makes sense for him to be mayor besides "this is the open political position that would help me, Andrew Cuomo, regain power the easiest"

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Why Write About the Illegality of What Trump and Musk are Doing? By Samuel Bagenstos NYU Law professor Noah Rosenblum posted on Bluesky yesterday that β€œ[t]here has never been a larger gap in my (admittedly quite short)...

There has never been a larger gap in my (admittedly quite short) professional life between how lay folks and law profs are talking about what is happening in government right now. So much of what Trump is doing is just blatantly illegal β€” often in several ways at once.

A question I’d really like to see reporters start asking members of Congressβ€”of *both* parties:

If the Trump administration starts openly defying court orders, what (if anything) are you going to do about it?

I know "the Resistance" was cringe but personally I think it was healthy that swathes of the public, civil society, and Democrats behaved as if there was still a country worth saving back in 2017. The alternative, it turns out, is much worse.
