Doesn’t this imply that more people are curious about other candidates? Trump’s numbers go down when someone else is the opponent.

Heard that Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench today, which means she was mad mad, and lowkey I've been thinking that if you're going to do that you should also straight up hold a press conference so more people can see & hear it + it gets more coverage like if it's that bad let's act like it

The logical implication of the majority’s argument here is that a noncitizen would have no recourse to deportation if the government reschedules a removal hearing without notice.

Crack cocaine did not exist at the time of the framing of the constitution. Therefore restrictions on gun ownership for crack users are not in the history and tradition of the US and violate the second amendment under the Bruen test.

She can threaten to fire the MTA board if they don’t comply, but congestion pricing was approved almost unanimously, so that would be unprecedented.

“The money collected from congestion pricing tolls cannot, legally speaking … go towards paying for more frequent service on existing subway, bus, or rail lines.” I thought the point was the signal improvements are necessary for more frequent subway service?

"If congestion pricing is canceled as the governor plans, the [$507m] contract will need to be rescinded, cementing the MTA’s reputation as a nightmare client that nobody should want to work with unless they get paid in advance and with a risk premium." pedestrianobservations.com/2024/06/05/h...
