when republican leaders who opt out of these funds argue that it’s too expensive to administer the program what they mean is that it will be harder for businesses to exploit the labor of workers desperate to feed their families. they fundamentally oppose lifting all boats to benefit those at the top

Joe is gone. the man served his country and earned his place in US history. but this is horrifying to read and the charade has to end. Democrats will unite behind his replacement. let him step aside for his own sake and the good of the nation.

This 4th of July, take a little time to think about how the Left can try to reclaim patriotism from conservatives. Seems like the story of a country that cast off a king and fought a civil war to free the slaves is fertile ground given our present moment.

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

Higher interest rates are reducing multi-family and existing sales and construction, while incentivizing new greenfield home sales. Developers buy down rates on new builds that existing homes can't. So, high rates likely lead to more sprawl and driving, at the cost of where we want more housing.

"The Parks Department is getting $20 million less funding than last year even as the city budget grew by $5 billion."

As a candidate, Eric Adams promised that at least 1% of the city’s overall budget would go to the city’s parks. But in a $112.4 billion budget, the department will receive 0.55%, the lowest share of funding set forth in an adopted budget in a decade. www.thecity.nyc/2024/07/01/p...

noticing a lot of coordinated cope around Biden’s senility coalescing behind the idea that simply believing one’s own eyes can damage our chances. this way when voters decide it’s too much for them to stomach the hyperintellectuals can blame it on anyone who chose to speak up before it was too late.

a phased ramp-up of the congestion fee, to an eventual $15, with alternative funding sources to make up the deficit in the meantime, would be acceptable. implementable compromise is favorable to a drawn out court battle that stretches into a second Trump term where the pending program dies forever.

new jersey democrats are manufacturing a transit death spiral for the region. first they came for congestion pricing in the courts (still pending) and now they’re hoping to put the nail in the coffin for NJ transit commuters. stop electing politicians who are bought and paid for by big automobile.

it’s casual Friday. no need to come at Hochul with policy arguments or facts. just call her office and let them know you’re pissed off.

besides revealing how out of touch she is with the city this is a totally dishonest argument against congestion pricing. call the governor and give her a slice of your mind 518-474-8390

Every day that congestion pricing remains "paused" is a day I remain pissed off. Because it is a daily reminder that democracy is meaningless
