Excited the NCPC wants to expand the National Mall northwest. Their idea is to connect the Kennedy Center to the Lincoln Memorial with park land and “picnic blankets across the grassy knolls as bikers safely pedaled down paths devoid of cars.” washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…

This photo reminds me of that Seinfeld where Kramer refused to wear the AIDS ribbon. youtube.com/watch?v=y4bmGe… Looks like Giuliani could use a visit from a ribbon bully.

Your Natera bill is ready, somewhere, but not here. And this email is not the bill or about the bill, even though the subject line is entirely about the bill.

Thank you to City of Somerville and Ben Ewen-Campen for banning parking requirements for new real estate developments in Somerville, MA. A major step for livability. commonwealthbeacon.org/government/par…

Glad to see The New York Times fix its headlines and subheads to reflect that no, a vehicle didn’t drive itself into a crowd to murder and maim people but that a human drove it. nytimes.com/live/2025/01/0…

"Besides toll evasion, police officials say [these cars with concealed license plates] are used...for violent crimes, including shootings and robberies." Every day walking in Manhattan, I see a few cars with concealed license plates. nytimes.com/2025/01/05/nyr…

Very impressed that the New York state legislature and governor are delaying the special election to fill Stefanik's seat. They are playing hardball just like the GOP. (DeSantis refused to schedule a special election for a year when Alcee Hastings died.) politico.com/news/2025/02/0…

bostonglobe.com/2025/08/15/met… Gov. Healey holding unsafe drivers accountable: “The law intended to keep fed authorities from using drivers’ records to determine immigration status. However, it also resulted in the RMV no longer releasing any driver history of crashes and violations.”
