@TSA agents may be getting paid now, but here at @LGAairport the wait to get through screening is still TWO hours long this morning. Why? Partly because people are still showing up 3-4 hours before their scheduled flights. Side note: my family will miss our flight.

I love this guy. This is one of my favorite man on the street interviews of all time.

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @ZDRoberts after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

I miss the America that would feel embarrassed and ashamed by the behavior of its fans at the Ryder Cup.

@AndrewKolvet @MZHemingway Thanks for watching Andrew. Jimmy appreciates it.

Not good enough. Jimmy, it’s simple. Here’s what you need to say:
“I’m sorry for saying the shooter was MAGA. He was not. He was of the left. I apologize to the Kirk family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will do better. I was wrong.”

🚨NEW: Jimmy Kimmel addresses his Charlie Kirk comments on his first show back on the air "I don't think what I have to say will make any difference. If you like me you like me, if you don't you don't." "It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it...It was never my intention to blame any specific group." "I get why you're upset, if the situations were reversed there's a good chance I would feel the same way." "I get a lot of threats on my life too, and I know those type of threats don't come from the people on the right who I know and love as well." Do you buy it?

@AlecStapp Unfortunately true.
I was a big advocate for this program, but there was no urgency and bureaucracy ate any momentum… Four years later, and we have embedded $1.5T deficits and can’t point to much ROI.
English
It turns out you don’t get credit just for announcing projects and spending money.
You have to actually build stuff that makes people’s lives better.

This pretty much sums up what went wrong with Biden era industrial policy:
Judge Glock@judgeglock
It's now been almost four years since the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the largest infusion of federal money into infrastructure ever. Yet one could be excused for barely noticing any change. My latest long-form for @CityJournal magazine looks at what went wrong.

@humantransit @GreatDismal Brilliant reference.
As I watch AI continue to roll forward and eat the world, I can’t help but think we are walking right into a William Gibson dystopia…
English
As I look at London, I keep being reminded of the image of 2090 London from the TV series The Peripheral, based on @greatdismal's novel.
To someone from the London of even a century ago, this is just what today's London would feel like.
Jarrett Walker@humantransit
Cranes upon cranes. London continues to double down on its most obvious contrast with Paris: it's willing to keep building right on top of its history.

@NickyFrank30 Congress gets involved in this issue and it has to change the Supreme Court’s calculus. It’s blatantly a Congressional power.
English
@NickyFrank30 Isn’t that the point? Pick this fight on an issue that’s super unpopular that he will keep fighting on.
Make him own this in an unassailable way…

Ok but Trump will never submit on tariffs.
You got like a 15 percent chance he gives in on healthcare, but zero chance on tariffs
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
I've got a story out in the NYT today arguing that tariffs, not health care, would be a better line for Dems to draw in exchange for providing votes to fund the government and avert a shutdown.

Ronald Reagan: Appeasement is a path not to peace, but to surrender and slavery

US president, Ronald Reagan, signing a mutually beneficial trade deal with Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, in the 1980s. Ronald Reagan said on trade with Canada: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies, they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security and the entire free world.

@mkhammer OMG. I worked there in high school (like 91-92). This totally brought me back in time…
English
@MikeNellis Saying “but” when talking about a murder is… uh… questionable.
Stop it. 🛑 ✋
English
The same people who don’t understand why Trump won also don’t understand how anyone could celebrate the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder.
The situation is horrifying, and we should condemn the shooter—but so many are tired of getting screwed by the system and want it all to burn.
Hard to blame them.

Russia wants to put itself in a position of strength on the battlefield -- before the negotiations start.
Nigel Gould-Davies@Nigelgd1
Huge escalation in Russia’s war effort in recent months: - record quarterly defence spending - record average daily troop losses - use of North Korean forces

“Said platform is bad because a bunch of ppl follow a person who peddles misinformation.” Wowza. Hot take.
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
Yeah sorry but Bluek*y seems terrible, EFD is one of the biggest misinformation merchants on the planet, he just happens to peddle the sort of misinformation that isn't considered "misinformation" because it flatters precisely the sorts of people who have Bluesk*y accounts.

Today is the anniversary of the passing of a remarkable American hero, Senator John McCain. I have most of his books in my library, many inscribed to me. He taught me (and so many others) that character really is destiny. I learned a great deal from him and revere his memory.
English
@TPCarney Yeah. They changed the rules. I’m with you on that. That’s how I learned too.
