Anything I did that was wrong, I apologize for. But anything I did that was not wrong, I don't apologize for.

I thought this was about restoring the Senate and reviving deliberation and amendment?
Or have we moved off of that?
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 JUST IN: Lisa Murkowski has just submitted an AMENDMENT to the SAVE America Act, EXEMPTING people born before 1961 from having to prove their citizenship If you can't be bothered to prove you're a citizen, you have no business voting to begin with. Stop nitpicking and pass the freaking bill.

Installing them was “political” too. You can try to gussy up one side as “science” and the other as “political,” but both weigh costs and benefits / public interest.

Bike lanes that greatly reduced crashes on National Mall set for removal washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/…

Yes.
An additional lane for cars leaving the city will INCREASE traffic.
Daniel Stublen@dstublen
No reason to remove this bike lane other than irrational aversion — It is likely to increase traffic as slow bikes share an uphill climb with cars, or injuries as bikes share sidewalks with hordes of tourists.

Next step for the @NatlParkService after ripping out bike lanes with impunity…
Relentlessly tow the cars parked in the no parking zone that is the entire length of Henry Bacon Drive by the Lincoln Memorial.

They apparently haven’t learned that their high paying white collar jobs are about to be displaced by a chatbot.

This isn’t savage. It’s distasteful. Penn students shifted to classism because their team lost a basketball game.

Journos overwhelmingly support this shutdown, want ICE defunded, and support Ossoff’s reelection. They treat Dem shutdowns differently because they are Dems.
Brad Todd@BradOnMessage
Who's going to stick a mic in Jon Ossoff's face and make him defend what he's doing to Georgians in this airport? Or are we gonna interview the people in line & ask if they are mad at Ossoff? Or are we not doing that in this particular shutdown, unlike the prior ones?

“Some Democrats”
Such nonsense.
He’s the Leader. His members want him to be the Leader. He ain’t going anywhere.

New in @WSJ just now: Some Democrats on Capitol Hill are discussing how to get New York Sen. Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate minority leader amid concerns about his negotiating style and midterms strategy. wsj.com/politics/polic…

The story of Tom Brown, the retired engineer that became 'apple hunter', rescuing over 1,000 'lost' varieties in the last 25 years
Retired chemical engineer, he began his quest to find and preserve lost apple varieties around more than 25 years ago.
The man who owns an apple orchard called Heritage Apples in Clemmons, North Carolina, USA has re-discovered over 1000 rare varieties of apples.
His Heritage Apples showcase at least 600 of them. He has been working so that the heirloom apples of Appalachia in the Eastern United States do not disappear with time.
Popularly known as the Apple-Hunter, Tom grows around 60 varieties of apples each year on his farm and sells around 1000 trees. To encourage more preservation, Brown offers to discounts on the purchase of rarer heritage varieties. Trees from Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and a few other places have found their forever homes in his orchard.

Duh.
You order the most expensive bottle of wine on the menu after starting with two martinis, and then regale everyone with some awesome stories about your college trip to Cabo.
Maybe hit on the waitress at some point.

Y'all are dunking on High Point University, but odds are most of you wouldn’t know what to do with yourselves if you wound up at dinner with a Fortune 10 CEO, elected official, or foreign dignitary. “Be yourself” only gets you so far.

“Don’t be fooled”
Proceeds to make an argument completely at odds with all of human experience.

Don’t be fooled. Removing protected bike lanes along 15th St. near the National Mall doesn’t alleviate congestion – it’ll cause more of it as accidents increase. It’s yet another effort by the federal gov’t to politicize common-sense safety measures in DC. 51st.news/trump-administ…

Now do it everywhere.
Then do the bus lanes.
Then do the speed cameras.
Then aggressively tow anyone in a no parking zone during rush hour.

dc built the first protected bike lane in the city on 15th street in 2010. spent fifteen years building a safe connected network. the feds are tearing out the spine of it on a monday morning like it's a parking ticket they forgot about. fifteen years of progress. one monday

The suggestion that the bike lane is good for drivers is epic gaslighting.

The Trump administration is removing a protected bike lane that runs along 15th Street from the National Mall to the Tidal Basin. Officials say it causes traffic; bike advocates say it actually makes everyone safer. 51st.news/trump-administ…
