Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

I'm amazed that PATCO website is roughly 50 minutes behind and clearly not aware that not a single train moved in about 2 hours...

Duffy's "transit is dangerous" claim is wrong on multiple levels.

"What Trump and Duffy aren't talking about at all ...is that safety isn't just about crime; it's also the likelihood of being hurt or killed in a crash, If you really want to be safe don't get inside a big SUV -- get inside a bus."

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

The winning entry in today’s #PatcoDelayPool would be ‘PSEG surge.’

Unfortunately there are no winners.

I agree with the decision, but it *is* easier to change the manager than the rest of the team, sir.

Today we honor the all Indigenous peoples whose wisdom, land, and spirit continue to guide us. May we walk with respect, gratitude, and humility remembering that every step we take is on sacred ground. And may we never forget the injustice done
