Will the GOP-controlled Congress ever do its duty? MAGA needs to be excised to the government can revert to its Constitutionally created function.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City campaigned on a promise of “fast and free buses.” One influential planning group is trying to change his mind with an even bigger moonshot plan: to expand the city’s century-old subway system.
Free Buses? How About Expanding the Subway by 41 Miles Instead?
Some transit advocates are wary of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan to subsidize bus fares and argue the money would be better spent on a major subway expansion.

They were expected to address the administration’s attacks on voting and elections. Matt Cohen, who was on site, dives into the spectacle👇
Trump admin officials promised to address state election leaders. They bailed.
“Noem, Bondi, and Gabbard are cowards for not showing up today and answering the questions from election officials from across the country about this administration's abuses of power,” Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said.
