sorry but leftists are coping just as hard as libs rn. Kamala didn’t lose bc of Palestine. wasn’t close enough to be that. voters want trump. Regardless of why. the left NEEDS to recognize we’re currently marginal and unorganized not pretend we already have a huge base.

Q: What specific legislation will you commit to to make child care affordable? Trump: Well, I would do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because the child care is, child care couldn't, you know, there's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it... I want to stay with child care… So we'll take care of it. Thank you

Dallas, if you're confused by the provenance of the three charter amendments that will be on the ballot, let me spell it out for you: 🧵 1. A board member of a wealthy Republican donor's company created an organization called Dallas HERO to collect signatures for the proposals

Project 2025 calls to eliminate a program that offers universal school lunch in low income districts. Why would conservatives want to repeal a program that resulted in: • Higher math scores • Better attendance • Less stigma • Improved diet quality • Lower cost per meal

As a former geography teacher and self-proclaimed GIS nerd, I’m thrilled to proclaim today as Geographic Information Systems Day. Here in Minnesota, we are using GIS to make state government more effective - whether we’re replacing lead pipes or expanding homeownership.

AOC: "I have stood up in rooms with all of these people and I have said, 'game out your actual plan for me.' What are the risks of this going to the Supreme Court? And no one had an answer for me...I'm talking about the lawyers. I'm talking about the legislators."

Don’t worry, the Project 2025 folks want to change the definition of “public transit” to just…whatever modes the public uses to travel
If you assign the term "public transit" to every virtuous form of transport, it will no longer be possible to talk clearly about actual public transit.

👏👏Thanks, Council! “Most people are stunned to hear this isn’t already an ordinance,” Meltzer told DRC. “It defies common decency in a region increasingly facing 100+degree days not to provide or allow for working AC. It’s a matter of health & safety.” dentonrc.com/news/denton/den…

LP bars are basically bars run by Korean music nerds who’ve turned their Record collections (mostly 60s/70s rock) into a way to make a living, spinning disks and selling whiskey and beer

There's no reason why we should go the battery route over the trolleybus route for electrification. Modern trolleybuses can go off track for significant distances, they are a proven technology. The battery buses have not been a good experience for us. inquirer.com/transportation/…
