Sort of funny that every time that Amtrak operates new rail service, it’s actually very successful? Maybe we should do a lot more of it.

Instead of focusing on priorities people care about, tonight Republicans are using a procedural end-run to get around the will of the American people & stuff ICE & CBP with billions more of your taxpayer dollars.

@CarrolltonWatch If you’re familiar with the area (I know the area since the 1950’s) it’s an area that’s been in Decline since Way back then! The Tulane plan will only Improve the Area! Once again Anytime anyone Wants to build something to Improve the area Someone in NOLA WILL COMPLAIN!

Fenceman, the Frostop is just one part of the equation. The proposed dorm site is next to a neighborhood where people own houses and live. It is actually surrounded by (though not immediately adjacent to) a lot of residential housing—and other small businesses that don't want this to happen. They have rights too. (For one thing, the developers would provide just 37 parking places for 160 new residents.) Go to a meeting and listen to the people who are directly affected by this plan. Tulane can develop downtown.

Ask the City Council to deny the demolition of Ted's Frostop in New Orleans. Please sign the petition and share.

@CarrolltonWatch Actually it’s not that Complicated! Anytime a business wants to Build & Expand someone in this city Will complain! Tulane wants to Grow! So What that a few Dying & Defunct businesses will be lost! Either Grow up and realize you’re in the Real World ! Put on your big boy pants!

It's more complicated than that. Tulane and Robért's were planning a 33,000sf development for three years and sprang it on neighbors at the last minute as a done deal. These lots may be HU-B1 but they're flanked on two sides by single-family residential zoning. Either dig into the issue or unfollow. Thanks.

Let’s be clear about what Jackson is defending:
A juvenile was caught at 2 AM in a 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐫. Two accomplices 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭. The driver tried to reverse away from police. The car was confirmed stolen. Open and shut.
The DC Court of Appeals said: police had 𝐧𝐨 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐡𝐢𝐦.
The Supreme Court was so appalled they issued a 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 — no briefs, no oral arguments. The legal equivalent of “this is so obviously wrong we’re not wasting time on it.”
The vote: 𝟕-𝟐.
— 𝐊𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧 (liberal) joined the majority — even she couldn’t defend this
— 𝐒𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐫 dissented but 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
— Jackson stood 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 in her logic
Jackson’s argument: the Supreme Court shouldn’t “wordsmith” lower courts on factual determinations. Translation: she thinks the DC Court’s decision to free a car thief caught red-handed is a reasonable “factbound determination” that should stand.

60 MINUTES: Iran still has nearly 1,000 pounds of highly-enriched uranium — "enough material, if you enrich it just a little bit more, for 10-11 nuclear bombs."
"Iran has been lying about its nuclear weapons effort for over 20 years now."

It took the world decades to conclude that Marxist economics was more Groucho than Karl. Perhaps Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s experiment in socialism in New York City will shorten that instruction time.
