These articles always frame this on people beating the subway fare. According to this article fare evasion is~1/3rd of the MTA's $1B loss. Subway scofflaws aren't the majority of that 1/3.
Meanwhile, what about the ~2/3 of a $B lost to drivers who cover their license plates to not pay tolls?

Firing "lenient judges" and establishing is own system for overwriting laws is what the Nazis did in 1936
BREAKING NYT:
The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.
All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

When will Brett Kavanaugh be confronted with the countless abuses of US Citizens' personal safety and freedom that he so breezily dismissed in his written ruling?
Stop this lawless gov't agency! End the daily human rights abuse against all the humans in this country! And get this man off the bench!

Absolutely horrific. ICE detained and abducted a minor—a high school student—who the family identified as a US citizen.
ICE is terrorizing our communities—I’m fighting for answers and accountability. This is just wrong.

Rep. Nydia Velazquez was my Congresswoman for decades. I'm grateful for everything she did, and congratulate her on her retirement after such a remarkable tenure in the House!

Right, this is true, but the OVERWHELMING evidence of the past 100 years of American life is that vastly more people want expensive brand-new shoes, than buying used ones at a thrift store. This is why the suburban shoestore population has grown relentlessly for the entire 20th and 21st century
Right, this is true, but the OVERWHELMING evidence of the past 100 years of American life is that vastly more people want space and a car than a smaller unit and a car-free lifestyle. This is mostly why the suburban share of US population has grown relentlessly for the entire 20th and 21st century
Some people put a premium on space in my experience, others put a premium on not having to have a car and not being isolated out in the suburbs

Kavanaugh was so disturbed by being (his words) "unduly harassed" by protestors at a restaurant, he shared his trauma publicly.
Imagine how he'd feel, a US Citizen, having his infant driven away by thugs in body-armor.

Our analysis of EPA air monitoring data shows that companies have far underestimated the pollution caused by their facilities.
At a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh, monitors found benzene levels 37 times higher than estimated emissions.
