Disappointing campaign announcement email from Conway: “I’m running for office and I’ll figure out why my district wants me to run later”
Mark Conway campaign announcement email with a a paragraph that says:

I'm ready for this new beginning, but more importantly, I'm ready to fight for Baltimore. I won't let our city be pushed around-- not by criminals, not by corruption, and certainly not by Donald Trump and his administration. I'll be boots on the ground here at home learning what our city needs and on Capitol Hill, ready to hold leaders accountable and lead District 7 into a
future we can be proud of.
That’s called a Baltimore stop
Would the people with standing be contractors who might not get paid because the money is being spent elsewhere, or is it some other group?
To paraphrase a little bit, I think one of the biggest problems is the gap between what was intended and what was designed

Like it’s great that Congress is supposed to make laws, but the math of the design makes it impossible for Congress to keep up with the demands of running a country
I’d like to shout out my timex running watch that’s still going with the same battery from when I got it ten years ago
Okay, but you have to admit it’s funny that the url is “Kirk shot sauce”
Obviously doesn’t work if you have celiacs, but at least gluten gets sold as a food (and is therefore regulated) instead of as an unregulated supplement
It does feel particularly fitting that Trump’s version of the statue is not solid marble but rather marble bits and resin
From there, the fragments were shipped to the family's art studio in Centreville, where Tilghman's son, Will Hemsley, used 3-D scans to digitally piece them back together like a puzzle.
From that, a mold was made to shape a precise replica made of crushed marble and mixed resin.
I think one other path (although maybe not plausible) would be to use control of Congress to make more blue states. If you split CA and NY in two and add DC + PR if they want to join, the Republican Party would have to shift left to be electorally viable
Even if people discount the opposition of enslaved Black people, (some of) his fellow white politicians knew what he was doing was wrong and tried to free the people he enslaved
Similar deal with Washington, who deliberately forced the people he enslaved across the Pennsylvania border on a six-month schedule so that they wouldn’t become free according to PA state law
I’m confused—it looks like that says that cyclist and pedestrian head injuries are much more common per kilometer than driver head injuries. Did you write it backwards?
I don’t see anything about a per-mile basis in that study.
This chart has no units. Can you post actual data showing a per-mile basis?
Do you actually have evidence for that? Also, I don’t see how “you should wear a helmet while driving” would mean that you shouldn’t wear a helmet while biking.
I already said I don’t. Why are you asking the same question again?

Also, what’s your source for your claim that motoring helmets would save more lives, and why would that be an argument against wearing helmets while biking?
No, my car has crumple zones and airbags and doesn’t fall over if I hit a bump wrong

That also has nothing to do with my comment
I’ve fallen off a bike with zero cars around, and I’m forever grateful that I was wearing a helmet because it saved me from getting a TBI
Feel like there’s a difference between “you should wear a helmet” (which was what they said) and “cops should punish you if you don’t have a helmet on” (which is what a helmet mandate is)
And straight into everyone’s lungs, for that matter
With how unpopular Trump is, you could “test” it to tie police funding to Trump and try to build consensus that it should be cut
Looking forward to finding out how waterproof my bike lights really are
