The Justice Dept and the court system failed to uphold the principle that no one is above the law.
DOJ by neglecting to promptly investigate the events of Jan 6, and the courts by willfully delaying progress of the case and providing immunity.
The public deserved better.

Thrilled for this but also heartbroken that @MayorBowser lost her courage & on Connecticut Avenue which is wider & has better public transit we can't have the same.

Fourth, the subtext to so many of the criticisms of cycling is that it's expensive and elite. But the obvious counterfactual is rarely considered: cars are much more expensive, and no, not everyone in D.C. has one or can afford one.

All the news isn't grim. In 2023 I got to bike with this wonderful group of people on San Francisco's Great Highway. It was one of the best times I've ever had riding.
On election day voters passed Proposition K there, so it will now be permanent! @StreetsblogSF @LukeBornheimer

Disturbing to see the shift in voting in cities but maybe it will spur better governance, most people want reliable services & clean, safe public spaces vitalcitynyc.org/articles/thโฆ

Great afternoon cutting the ribbon on the newly renovated Caroline Freeland Park w/ @MontgomeryParks, @mitifig @mkorman, @SarahSWolek & a huge community turnout! Named for a trailblazing champion of urban parks & design, itโs a much needed activated open space for the downtown.

As a Brit, I've been watching the American election results with sorrow for my American friends. Some are comparing it to the Brexit vote here, imagining if we'd voted for Brexit twice. But here's the thing... in a sense, we did. And here are some lessons from it. ๐งต

In the coming days there's gonna be a lot of opining about what the Harris campaign did wrong, but this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America.

THREE KEY ELECTION SCENARIOS TO WATCH FOR TONIGHT:
1. Things go great and I get drunk
2. Things go terribly and I get drunk
3. It's a nailbiter and I get drunk

Liz Cheney: โOne of the real fallacies in this election is that somehow Donald Trump is going to be an ally of the state of Israel, an ally of the Jewish peopleโฆThe antisemitism that the Republican Party is now excusing and accommodating is despicable.โ

Yep. Bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion.

Bike-lanes donโt cause traffic congestion.
Car dependency, land-use sprawl, too many cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion.
Think about it. THATโS common sense.
