Here’s what we really need to focus a lot more discussion on — you don’t need to hate cars in order to want people to have the CHOICE to walk, bike and take public transit in your city. Better cities provide more choices, and work better for EVERYONE. Bad cities offer only dependency. #CarDependency

Yet another reason to run on oversight and accountability. Those are promises they can actually keep.
Paul Waldman@paulwaldman.bsky.social · yesterdayNot to be a party pooper but a Democratic Congress is absolutely not going to lower costs; it just won't be in their power no matter how much they'd like to.

Trump’s illegal war may be happening over there, but we're paying the price right here. My TV ad on rising prices is premiering during the Vikings game today. I hope you’ll tune in.
I am far from the first person to observe this, but Yuds stuff is classic auto-didact shit. Part of why we send smart kids off to college is so that they can meet a bunch of people smarter than they are and come to the painful realization that they aren't hot shit. Certainly worked for me.

The Democratic leaders in power while Congress was being targeted for kidnapping or murder decided that this was only an irresponsible rabble and not anything systematically connected to their dear, honored, treasured friends on the other side of the aisle, who by 1/7/21 had _learned their lesson_.
