Pedestrian deaths fell 11% in the first half of 2025 from the year before – the largest annual decline since GHSA began tracking these fatalities 15 years ago. That positive momentum is welcome news, but the only acceptable number of deaths on American roads is zero.

@LeighGiangreco You do you as the saying goes, but I can't stand wearing masks and won't. I don't object to others who make difference choices. :)

If you're flying during this TSA craziness and you don't normally mask, it's a very good time to do so. Airports are going to be super crowded and you don't want to get sick on your vacation! Plus it keeps your nose from feeling dry and gross after flying

@SusanPage @USATODAY I just pre-ordered your latest book. Now, how to convince you to write a book about the "other" Kennedy women--Ethel and Joan.

Heads-up: What did Queen Elizabeth really think about President Trump? The first exclusive excerpt from "The Queen and Her Presidents" reveals her crucial, calming phone call to him during a furor. In @USATODAY in the AM (and BTW available for preorder) >>>

@neeratanden This is all so exhausting. It's why so many people hate politics and don't engage.

Trump just denied a deal by Thune to fund TSA - please call Trump and ask him to fund TSA since it's apparently his decision.

Making our roads safer from drunk driving requires commitment, authenticity and the skill to navigate naysayers. Those are some of the lessons discussed when @MADDNational CEO Stacey Stewart meets GHSA CEO @jraindc at “The Intersection." Watch: youtu.be/Y4D6eT9YkOs

I’ll admit I’m getting a little frustrated that some safety groups seem to almost celebrate even small bumps in the AV rollout. We absolutely should hold tech companies accountable and insist on strong safety standards. More here from Daniel Zimmerman: linkedin.com/pulse/av-tech-…

@HeyAustinDean LOL. I've tried to block that horrible business from my memory.

RIP Kristi Noem. You would have loved District Dogs.

@Tabbatha80 Hodge isn't the right guy. Not sure how he got hired given his light resume.

Nah… I don’t even want the “They fought back and made it a close game, they didn’t quit.” speech. As far as I’m concerned, this might as well have been a 20 point loss, regardless of the final score.

@RadziwillLee @JolieSoleil Happy Birthday! 3/3/33

@JolieSoleil You rang? xo 👑🚬🦢

Miren esta foto de 1941, East Hampton. Janet Bouvier con sus hijas Lee (8) y Jackie (11). Lee después compensó fumando tres paquetes por día durante 60 años.

@AbramsonFL @kpottermn I never go into that FLL location. It's awful.

@kpottermn The Escape Lounge in Ft Lauderdale is very mediocre, but we don’t have an actual Centurion Lounge to feed it

Peak Amex Platinum fever at the Phoenix (PHX) airport: -Amex Centurion Lounge: 35 minute wait. -Escape Lounge (which has the same food, is literally connected to the Centurion Lounge and can be accessed with the same credit card): 0 minute wait OK!!

@AVGregR Now post this ok Bluesky and I will be impressed. 😆😆😆

American urbanism needs to return to the roots of what makes our cities great: a innovation-forward, problem-solving mindset that built everything from the San Francisco cable cars to the NYC subway to the stellar bike share systems across the country.

It’s a shame that a lot of city transportation policy is driven by the anti-tech, anti-car absolutism that dominates urbanism today. TNCs, like AVs, give people a better option when they can’t drive, shouldn’t drive, or don’t feel comfortable driving - an undeniably good thing.

Am hearing troubling reports Airlines are gouging Americans stuck in Mexico & trying to book flights home… or won’t reimburse for cancelled flights. Please advise if that’s true. My office is working to get you home & no airline should try to profit off of cartel violence.

There are many amazing people and programs that deserve recognition for making our roads safer. Help us honor them! Submit a 2026 Roadway Safety Award nomination by Friday, March 27: ghsa.pulse.ly/824sj1vedm. Award winners will be announced at #GHSA2026 in Minneapolis.

At yesterday’s Senate Commerce Committee hearing, Professor @bwalkersmith said we already have technologies that can drive a vehicle, and some of those same technologies can detect whether a human is capable of safely driving, including whether they are sleeping or drunk. That reality is exactly why the HALT Drunk Driving Law matters. If vehicles rely on humans to take over, preventing impaired driving must be standard. HALT requires technology to stop drunk driving before it happens and save lives now. The technology exists. Create the standard. Every day we wait, 34 people die in drunk driving crashes. #MADD #HALTDrunkDriving @bwalkersmith

So sorry for you Rachael & all your readers. You are a pro & have been just about the facts on Metro & other important transportation topics. Whether Metro does something well or makes mistakes & needs to be held accountable to improve, we need more not less local media coverage

I'm sorry but if you told me you read Washington Post for its sports coverage I would assume you were an alien from outer space

@Lokay @darrenrovell I don't know about all that, but there's a point here. I'm a Post subscriber and a huge sports fan, but I've not looked at the Post's sports section in years.

@darrenrovell You once went after one of my colleagues for scooping you on a sandwich after a team had promised you the exclusive. Journalism!

The Washington Post isn't cutting the sports section today because Jeffrey Bezos is a ghoul or hates journalism. It's because journalism that doesn't meet the public where they are and where they want to be can't make money. My take on the reality of the future of journalism linkedin.com/posts/darrenro…

Feeling for all the great reporters @wapo this morning. The Metro Section was the only real reason I subscribed. All the President’s Men made me love & respect news. I want to read from smart people who know things & hold power accountable, not random bot opinions on Twitter.

Unpopular opinion: I'm a @washingtonpost subscriber and a huge sports fan but I haven't read their sports coverage in years.
