The problem I see here is that if the media is flooded with fake videos of reporters getting detained, then people will no longer believe real video evidence of reporters being detained.

I have never been to Providence but I would like to check it out!!
As for this one, I can’t believe anybody would get it. It’s technically not even a city!!

I once came through here on Memorial Day and there were a bunch of women in uniform gathered eating sandwiches out here. I couldn’t help but think that military women probaly deserve a better monument…

The famous “Maryland Women In Military Service Monument”. Literally a landscape feature out the back of a rest area on 95…

So wait are they not gonna cancel the trolleys? I heard they were going to be bustituted because of the funding crisis?

I might try and use it, just for the lolz. Probably won't work...

At least Capital Bikeshare still exists...

I think I have probably missed my chance to use this free 24-hour membership for DC's Capital Bikeshare, with its 114 stations...

I think SEPTA is about to cancel the Girard Ave Trolley, after spending 5 years refurbishing the 100-year-old PCC cars that are used on it.

They fired Mulshine, for better or worse, but, yeah.

Very hard for a moderate R to win the primary. The GOP is just crazy people now. Or you could even argue that they did pick the moderate, by canning Spadea.

I think they probably would entertain such ideas, and in fact A-4/S-50, which they helped write, included incentives for smart growth. More drastic change may be desirable, but there is so much bad faith on the NIMBY side.

Can't believe he gave out that A rating. What a chump.

I think Sherrill should also have called Jack C a "fucking asshole". It isn't particularly clever, but, it would be true! I kinda like it if she is ready to fight dirty.

We've got JD regularly calling Chuck Schumer a "Palestinian", which is also clearly untrue, so maybe this is what it's going to look like when Democrats take the gloves off? I don't love it, but it is what it is...

I'm not sure what to make of Mikie Sherrill accusing Jack C of causing "tens of thousands of opioid deaths". It's pretty clearly untrue, but it has broken through and it seems that voters don't really care much about truth in 2025, so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯? www.nj.com/politics/202...

The nastiest race in N.J. gov history just got uglier. Here’s why Sherrill’s cheap shot worked.

How low can it go?

Yep, that's the one! I would be pretty embarrassed to call that my 'Main Street'.
