Randi Weingarten is on an extended publicity tour. Her book came out last September, but she’s still hawking it as if it were fresh off the presses. She likes to portray herself as a champion for public education. But in truth she is only a creature of her union, @NicXTempore writes. She represents its interests, its fixations, its obsessions. And when those don’t align with the actual work of teaching children, the results are ugly. city-journal.org/article/aft-pr…

As of this past February, 339 dispatch centers hadn’t undergone maintenance on their call-handling equipment in seven to ten years or more. Some equipment is built with parts not made anymore. Waves of outages have increased dramatically in recent years. And these failures from @Cal_OES have serious consequences, as detailed in our report.

Here’s the real story: California is committed to building a modern, safe, and reliable Next Generation 9-1-1 system that works for everyone. Cal OES is working closely with public safety agencies statewide to transition to NG 9-1-1, while keeping the legacy 9-1-1 system dependable at all times. Get the facts here bit.ly/4928Czs

.@eric_kober wrote about the "antisocial housing" problem last year in @CityJournal. In 2019, the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act gutted investment in rent-stabilized units—this, along with the Rent Guidelines Board’s unwillingness to set rent raises at the inflation rate, rewarded bad actors and led to NYC's affordable housing units falling apart. It's a fixable problem, which Kober elaborates on here: city-journal.org/article/new-yo…

Common thread for many housing and public-safety laws Albany has passed since 2019: while they're ostensibly at protecting the vulnerable, they instead tend to reward intensely antisocial, cynical, and destructive people who terrorize their neighbors.

EXCLUSIVE: Gavin Newsom spent $450 million on a new 911 system. The initial rollout was such a disaster, state officials decided to scrap the program. Now, call centers are experiencing rolling blackouts—and are at risk of "catastrophic failure." city-journal.org/article/califo…

@christopherrufo As one dispatcher put it: "People’s lives are on the line and your failed system may have just cost this person [his] life."

California has spent more than $450 million on a regionalized "Next Generation" digital 911 system that suffered such appalling failures and disruptions during its initial rollout that the Newsom administration scrapped it entirely. In one incident, a dispatcher who spoke with City Journal argued that the system failure might have caused a man’s death.

New Jersey officials announced that train tickets from Manhattan to MetLife Stadium, which normally cost $12.90, would be $150 during the World Cup. FIFA warned that the fare would have a “chilling effect” on the games. Read more from Steven Malanga: city-journal.org/article/world-…

It gets worse. Almost half of left-wingers think that assassinating you would be "at least somewhat justified." 55% said the same about Trump. A majority think it's okay to destroy a Tesla dealership. The culture of violence among progressives is alarming. city-journal.org/article/progre…

In our last @ManhattanInst survey, we found that 46% of today’s Democratic coalition believes “the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in July 2024 was orchestrated by his supporters to increase sympathy for him.” manhattan.institute/article/do-dem…

Andrew Kaczynski@KFILE

We went through 4700 of Cole Allen tweets/posts and one of the strangest things we found was he shared a lot of posts claiming the Butler assassination attempt was staged. He also repeatedly compared Trump to Hitler and urged people to buy firearms.

If you snag a copy of @ManhattanInst's @CityJournal spring edition, flip to the back page to read my piece on what i've learned from decades of being hated online, and how we'd all be better off learning what social media is, or more importantly - what it isn't (not a mirror)

Loudoun County has tons of data centers and seems like it’s getting a great deal from them — generous public services with low residential tax rates. In the end, these things will get built in places that cut smart deals. slowboring.com/p/im-not-convi…
