    So in a democracy, presidents are elected, and when their time is up, they peacefully move on with their lives.

    Do you know how kings are deposed? Because usually it’s not pretty.

      Yeah this is what the Republicans failed to understand is that elections are there to convince the losers to step aside… without a bloody civil war. All of Trump’s election denialism basically ensures bloodshed. 😔

    Contrary to the lies in the tweet, congestion pricing is not dead. From this article, for example:

    There was no precedent for federal officials to revoke approval for a major transportation project in New York, especially one that was working, said Michael Gerrard, a Columbia Law School professor who supports congestion pricing. He said he did not believe the federal government had the legal authority to halt the tolling program.

    “It is certainly not dead by any means,” he said. “Secretary Duffy has issued an order of questionable legality.”
