Very disappointed none of you told me that Lewis Mumford made a 1963 film about car dependency, and it's available on YouTube.
"The motor car inflates our private ego, proclaims our social status, and provides us with the illusion of freedom and power."

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

I don't have all the answers, but Speaker Jeffries is being an idiot of the "wrestle in the pigstye" variety. Everyone gets dirty, but some enjoy it, and politically importantly, *look like they enjoy it* more.
Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.
They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.
Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

Yes, but we are already there.
The reason why the IRS has been deputized in the illegal immigrant hunt is that very often they do pay taxes.
The IRS and the Census Bureau's data have always been sacrosanct. And we have made a promise to those who are open with them.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.
