As I frequently say, conservatism has nothing to offer the world but death and destruction

This has been happening for years in Georgia, we’re well known for purging voter rolls. Seems like ERIC is broadening the amount of registrations being purged.

CDC is pulling back $11B in Covid funding sent to health departments across the U.S. “Now that the pandemic is over, the grants and cooperative agreements are no longer necessary," federal health authorities wrote to funding recipients this week.

New: HHS confirms to that CDC just pulled $11.4 billion in funds allocated to state and community health departments, nongovernment organizations and international recipients in response to the pandemic. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Once again thank you to our War on Cars Urbanist Degrowth King Donald Trump

blah blah blah anti-city nonsense, lies that you can easily disprove, and a Secretary of Transportation acting like a spoiled, petulant child.

The measles outbreak in western Texas is rapidly growing, with 25 new cases confirmed in just the last five days. In West Texas alone, there are now a total of 223 confirmed cases, according to new data released by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).

Watch..

Not RFK suggesting antibiotics for treating measles, a viral infection. 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/h...

Want an economically competitive city? A fiscally smart city? A healthy city? A sustainable, climate-responsible & resilient city? An equitable & accessible city? A livable city? A city with more choices? A successful city today, that’s positioned for a successful future?

Build a #multimodal city.

American isolationism & the WHO What could possibly go wrong?

Cutting off all comms and collaborations with the WHO while RFK Jr giddily fundraises on the announcement is what MAHA has always been about.

Nothing says “MAHA” like completely disassembling our health infrastructure.

Totally predictable outcome. #nothingeverhappens

I’m not a historian so I don’t know how many times in human history we’ve specifically celebrated a lack of knowledge, and overtly attacked science, knowledge and experience. But it seems like an especially bad thing for the future of our species and the world.

There are so many things I would ban before TikTok, including SUVs and assault weapons…

TikTok just went dark for me, 10:35 PM ET. #tiktok

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.

Graphic explaining the math

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.

This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

#citymakingmath

I share Gov. Polis’ respect for personal choice and libertarian instincts on many issues. But public health is one of the purest public goods there is. Just like we need the state to enforce laws, we need the state to help prevent the spread of infectious disease.
