hey Square, shutting off a block of the primary N-S bike commute path, just as hundreds of parents are bringing their kids home after school, with zero indication of alternate routes, is a shitty thing to do and a great way to piss off thousands of people! @sfmta.com : just keep the bike lanes open

Probably the most successful piece of legislation in US history, measured by social benefit generated per dollar spent. Also wildly popular, across demographics.
Without any public discussion or consultation of Congress, the Trump administration has effectively killed it.

The Trump administration has “virtually stopped enforcing the Clean Air Act,” lodging just one consent decree in a relatively small case since Trump’s inauguration, compared with 26 in the first year of Trump's first term, & 22 in Biden’s first year. peer.org/under-epas-z... 1/

MIller’s enthusiasm for maximum cruelty and racism are hurting Trump. But since it helped him on the way to/back to power (and because Trump has always been deeply racist), it’ll be hard for Trump to be persuaded to dump him.

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"
