I’m just surprised he hasn’t appointed Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter into his cabinet.
Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades.
It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate.
Tell him!

dem elected officials need to make it very clear that the next time we are in office, we will have a comprehensive investigation into and prosecution of every ICE agent who has carried out a wrongful arrest or otherwise violated constitutional rights
ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

New USCIS citizenship test is out. 128 instead of 100 questions and from looking at it I would say it’s more difficult and they added a bunch more “patriotic” questions.
What’s interesting though is which question they removed…

The greenhouse gas reduction in trains does not come from cleaner vehicles.
It’s coming from passengers not driving.
And if you want to lower emission vehicles, build frikkin’ catenary.

This is a thread about buying and attempting to roll out hydrogen powered trains that are expensive, small, and unlikely to work, as previous attempts have shown. If costs are the concern then they should just keep the existing rolling stock and run more trains.

Calsta has decided to move the hydrogen flirts south to Pacific Surfliner between LA and San Diego where they will struggle the most
They hold less than half the people with just 2 bathrooms and vending machines replacing cafes.
As a result sets will have to be doubled up increasing their ops cost

I can understand how car brains can put with gas prices and traffic.
However, renting a car at the airport is one of the worst experiences you’ll have to endure if you need to drive.
