Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

BARTIROMO: But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten? He was filming it
KASH PATEL: That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case
(Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!)

Dickens saying that the “first phase of light rail should go on the Beltline’s Southside trail because it is less dense” is everything wrong with Atlanta transit planning in a single sentence.

Life stops being something we live, but something we sell and trade. It will breed both corruption & emptiness.

If I was the mayor of Atlanta, the poster child for ineffective governance and inability to get voter-approved transportation projects built, I might focus on getting shit built in my own city before making promises about getting my neighbors to follow suit.
