If we applied international practices to the United States, one could easily live in New York City and commute to Los Angeles in under 45 minutes (and vice versa). We really don't grasp how transformative frequent high-speed rail would be in this country.

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th?

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

As punishment for alleged drug dealing, Venezuela will be ruled by a Viceroy whose brother-in-law was a drug dealer who paid for the Viceroy's parents' house with money he made from selling cocaine. Hypocrites make the very best scolds.
