Sunscreen is the perfect example here: The FDA genuinely overregulates active sunscreen ingredients and even AOC has spoken out about fixing it to allow safe ingredients that are common in Europe RFK’s take on sunscreen? “Sunshine is good for you and we need less sunscreen”

One of the fascinating things about Trump is how people who think the FDA approves too much stuff because it’s a tool of big pharma and people who think it’s a lumbering bureaucratic hindrance to innovation both support him and see opportunity to advance their ideas



RFK is going to be at HHS because Trump appointed him and 50 Republican Senators confirmed him. this idea that democrats are the only political actors with any agency is insane!

RFK is going to be HHS as a direct result of democrats and Fauchi blatantly lying to mothers in this country, putting our children second behind adults and radicalizing them during COVID.

Where do I file my refund request for the thousands of dollars in NJ Turnpike tolls I’ve paid over the years to support NJ’s travel infrastructure? It’s unconscionable that NYers should have to pay to use NJ’s roads.

I am firmly opposed to any attempt to force through a congestion pricing proposal in the final months of the Biden Administration. My administration will continue the fight to block this plan in court.

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨: CONGESTION PRICING IS BACK AND EXPECTED TO GO INTO EFFECT ON DECEMBER 29! WE DID IT!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CALLED YOUR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS AND MADE YOUR VOICES HEARD; THE MTA WILL BE FUNDED AND THE CONGESTION WILL BE REDUCED 🎉


so wild that Americans will literally get arrested for letting their kid go on a walk this is a perfect example of how car-oriented urban planning is anti-freedom

the reason you lose weight in Europe is that it’s way more walkable so you get physical activity without even realizing it because you spend hours actually on your feet walking around instead of behind the wheel

I am fortunate to be able to spend 6-8weeks in Italy every summer. I work in Milan for 4-6 weeks and then take my summer vacation for 2-3 weeks. More importantly, I get to eat non American food sources for an extended period every year. And I always lose weight! Usually…



the brains of swing voters need to be studied for science

🚨CONGESTION PRICING IS BACK ON THE MENU🚨 seriously though, Hochul shouldn’t try to get too cute and change up the toll amounts in a way that requires additional federal review. just let the original pre-approved plan go through.

Congestion pricing may come back from the grave, as Hochul is now talking to the feds about getting quick approval before Trump comes into office. Scoop with @RyRivard: politico.com/news/2024/11/0…



Lmfao Elon’s stance is “democrats rigged the congressional elections but forgot to rig the presidential election” when are people gonna finally admit this guy isn’t very smart

yeah I really think that at the end of the day, Trump’s larger-than-life TV persona is just a cheat code with low-information voters

Hochul defunded the MTA by $16 billion when she suspended congestion pricing. Step 1 of any plan to fund the MTA is turning on the cameras, ASAP.

Gov. Hochul calls on Trump to fund the MTA, the Hudson River rail tunnel and the Second Avenue subway. She says she'll work with him on those issues, but if he tries to hurt New Yorkers: "I will fight you every step of the way."



so, uh, @GovKathyHochul can we please do congestion pricing now before Trump gets into office and kills it forever


I really have to wonder how much of this is from housing costs. housing is the most expensive part of most people’s budget and prices have legitimately skyrocketed all over the country due to NIMBYism

Roughly *67%* of voters rated the economy as "not so good/poor," per Washington Post exit polls A shockingly poor number amid a hot labor market, booming stocks, much lower inflation, growing GDP But widespread voter dissatisfaction w/ the economy been clear for years



worth being honest about what happened: it wasn’t foreign policy or Kamala’s campaign. lots of people just really hate inflation and are scared of immigration at the same time, I bet lots of these voters will regret it when the economy crumbles from tariffs and mass deportation


serious question: has Donald Trump ever taken public transit a single time in his entire life

If you want a future of abundance, affordable rents, and more mass transit, vote for Kamala. Don’t just take it from me, look at what the biggest NIMBY on the NYC city council has to say
