mayor bowser please look at these numbers and fix the billion dollar hole in DC's budget republicans created in the coolest way possible
Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing:
- Complaints about car-honking are down 70%
- The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48%
- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.
One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

Markets woke up and realized that a 10% global tariff and 125% tariff on China is still going to devastate America’s economy.

I regret to inform the Market Geniuses that things will get worse again, but glad to see we're all having fun today pretending that President Business isn't just pulling all of this directly out of his ass

it’s honestly incredible that republicans in Congress, the Supreme Court, elite universities, and top law firms have all bought into this conception of Trump invincibility when he’s on the precipice of completely blowing up the economy and neutering his entire presidency

one thing I think we shouldn't lose sight of: these people are stupid, their ideas are bad, they are always wrong about everything. there is no mea culpa big enough to erase the fact that they have a child's understanding of the world and their vision for the future is not worth taking seriously
Since tariffs, I noticed a surprising trend: elite Trump supporters saying they might have made a mistake. So I asked them what they were thinking, both in November and today.
One big takeaway: they thought Elon was actually competent. That error proved catastrophic.

Some elite Trump supporters are having regrets. We asked them why.
After the tariffs, they’re worried they made a MAGA mistake.
