Take Canada: in 2018, Trump tore up NAFTA - the deal that Bush Sr and Clinton crammed down Mexico and Canada's throats - and replaced it with USMCA, a trade treaty that was even more advantageous to America. 10/

Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files. Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why. We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.
LET’S DEBATE!!! Maine’s US Senate race is not settled and appears to be tightening. ME’s primary election is next week and there’s still time. The cancelling of the 5 prior debates cut short important policy discussions and shortchanged ME voters. So, LET’s DEBATE costelloforsenate.com #MEpolitics
Why should we not legally require bike helmets for adults? Don’t bike helmets make you safer? Are you an idiot if you don’t wear one? Well, let’s see. How about an analogy? Using masks?
I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.
Proud to have the backing of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in my campaign for City Council District 3! Together we will work to deliver the affordability agenda that New Yorkers have demanded.
The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...
It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News
We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

EV drivers face massive charger funding cuts in blue states
The White House is moving to cut $943 million in electric vehicle charging money in states that voted against President Donald Trump.

One close observer of the Fed thought Powell missed his opportunity to stand up for agency independence when Trump’s pets at DOJ first brought a bogus mortgage fraud against Governor Lisa Cook. I think @nathantankus.bsky.social might have had a point. bsky.app/profile/nath...

The Republicans will NEVER let Jack Smith and the massive amount of evidence against Trump in a public hearing, they can’t because the evidence against Trump is incontrovertible. Dems should hold an alt hearing somewhere other than at the Capitol.
Everyone is looking for someone to blame for the DC National Guard shooting. Instead of that wasted energy, we should be asking the question nobody is asking, how did the shooter get his guns? What can we do as a country to make gun violence less likely?
The @nytimes.com @wsj.com @apnews.com all have stories that fail to mention this!! Madness! He’s playing them all for fools.
I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
Drivers: I know you think you’re doing cyclists a favour by stopping & waving us through an intersection while you’ve got right of way, but you really aren’t. You’re being unpredictable and screwing up the flow of traffic for everyone and just causing further delays for us to safely cross. Stop it.
Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.
Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.
"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”
I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.
Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

"allow more room for loading" because giving cyclists 8ft of the street is too much when we can squeeze them to 6ft. Also, I'm pretty sure that photo on the left is actually a 3' buffer misleadingly labeled as 5'
Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.

New Yorkers who have never been abused are seeing what it is like to have a monster in your life relentlessly try to bury you. Other New Yorkers, survivors, have been living with this truth from the beginning. Cuomo is just a perfect manifestation of such monsters in our era.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
