"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

New: Judge Perry's ruling against Texas troops in Chicago is a banger.

1. Invokes Hamilton
2. Rips into ICE for lying
3. Says "law enforcement officers who go into an event expecting 'a shitshow' are much more likely to experience one than those who go into the event prepared to de-escalate it.

There is nothing Trump will not sell to line his pockets, including America. After accepting a $400 million jet and getting permission to build a golf course in Qatar, Trump is now welcoming the former terrorist state's air force where pilots will train to fly F-15s in Idaho. 👇
