The vehicle traffic modeling industrial complex strikes again! Both my agency's own modeler and the state's think that vehicle traffic will go up due to, wait for it, transit-oriented development! The whole point of TOD is to create the same or less traffic, it has been replicated worldwide & yet...

Love how the Alexandria Sheriff got exactly zero applauses due to his ICE collaboration whereas people protesting against him were much more popular! #alxva

This is despicable, even for a guy who was so bad that they failed to make it to inauguration day.
That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race.
Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

I just got one from Mary Peltola which was odd because I usually get Queens Dems stuff as the person who used to have my phone number 10+ years ago lived there

I looked at the RFPs for those cars years ago and all of the bidders had a margin of just 2-4 weeks for delay. I believe Nippon Sharyo blew past it within six months of starting work, long before the failed buff strength test.
