The Justice Dept and the court system failed to uphold the principle that no one is above the law.
DOJ by neglecting to promptly investigate the events of Jan 6, and the courts by willfully delaying progress of the case and providing immunity.
The public deserved better.

Thrilled for this but also heartbroken that @MayorBowser lost her courage & on Connecticut Avenue which is wider & has better public transit we can't have the same.

I need every Democratic elected official in America to read this paragraph by @ezraklein

Fourth, the subtext to so many of the criticisms of cycling is that it's expensive and elite. But the obvious counterfactual is rarely considered: cars are much more expensive, and no, not everyone in D.C. has one or can afford one.
Winning is the most important thing if we want to improve the lives of the people we claim to care about nytimes.com/2024/11/16/opini…
My suggestion is let’s just do whatever Latino democrats who got elected in competitive districts tell us to do washingtonpost.com/politics/…

All the news isn't grim. In 2023 I got to bike with this wonderful group of people on San Francisco's Great Highway. It was one of the best times I've ever had riding.
On election day voters passed Proposition K there, so it will now be permanent! @StreetsblogSF @LukeBornheimer
Disturbing to see the shift in voting in cities but maybe it will spur better governance, most people want reliable services & clean, safe public spaces vitalcitynyc.org/articles/th…

Great afternoon cutting the ribbon on the newly renovated Caroline Freeland Park w/ @MontgomeryParks, @mitifig @mkorman, @SarahSWolek & a huge community turnout! Named for a trailblazing champion of urban parks & design, it’s a much needed activated open space for the downtown.

As a Brit, I've been watching the American election results with sorrow for my American friends. Some are comparing it to the Brexit vote here, imagining if we'd voted for Brexit twice. But here's the thing... in a sense, we did. And here are some lessons from it. 🧵

I have said this before, but it's weird when you realize that what you thought was rock bottom was actually somewhere around rock middle

In the coming days there's gonna be a lot of opining about what the Harris campaign did wrong, but this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America.

THREE KEY ELECTION SCENARIOS TO WATCH FOR TONIGHT:
1. Things go great and I get drunk
2. Things go terribly and I get drunk
3. It's a nailbiter and I get drunk

Liz Cheney: “One of the real fallacies in this election is that somehow Donald Trump is going to be an ally of the state of Israel, an ally of the Jewish people…The antisemitism that the Republican Party is now excusing and accommodating is despicable.”
