More Trump BS

CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED.” Trump posted to his Truth Social. “LONG LIVE THE KING!

Trump probably thinks he is trolling people, including showing Time magazine with him wearing a crown. It does seem a bit much. And, he is acting like a king, down to becoming the chair of the Kennedy Center.

Congestion pricing is a long-negotiated policy to address traffic and promote public transportation. Gov. Hochul, who took a while before finally supporting a reduced toll, strongly opposed the Trump move. She's having some moments.

[She, however, said "no" on removing Adams.]

BTW, the Transportation Secretary (yes, I miss you, Pete Buttigieg) received over twenty "no" votes, but both N.Y. senators voted for him.

Hegseth’s biggest concession to Russia, though, was his warning that “stark strategic realities prevent the United States of America from being primarily focused on the security of Europe.” Also on Wednesday, President Donald Trump spoke to Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, for nearly an hour and a half and came out echoing Putin’s rationale for his attack on Ukraine. Trump’s social media account posted that the call had been “highly productive,” and said the two leaders would visit each other’s countries, offering a White House visit to Putin, who has been isolated from other nations since his attacks on Ukraine.

Heather Cox Richardson touches upon Trump's moves against Western Europe, Ukraine (calling the leader a "dictator"), and helping Putin. MAGA requires supporting other nation's autocrats. 

Citing ‘Biological Truth,’ Kennedy Issues Guidance Recognizing Only Two Sexes

Finally, the new Secretary of Health and Human Services (sic), Robert F-ing Kennedy Jr., went along with Trump to attack LGBTQ+ people. When he ran, he said trans issues were not something he thought people were worrying about. But, now he's part of the Borg, so has to go along.

Next up: oh so much, including the "we have to go after our MAGA enemies" guy to head the FBI.
