Canadian firefighters poured into New York after 9/11 to help with search and recovery efforts. 159 Canadians died fighting on behalf of the US in Afghanistan. This crap from the White House is stupid and embarrassing and shameful, and long-term will hurt the US the most.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

[Skye Ostreicher @SkyeStats]

It was wrong after 9/11 to hold Muslim New Yorkers responsible for the actions of terrorists because they shared a religion, and it is wrong now to suggest that violence against Jews in New York somehow belongs in the same argument as the actions of a foreign government.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Democrats won't win by being just the anti-Trump party.

Lis Smith explains why Bench candidates like Bobby Pulido and Jamie Ager are breaking through: They aren't just running against Trump — they're showing voters how Trump's failures are making their lives harder.

[Jonathan Chebra @jchebra]

Thank you for your support in the primary, Burlington County. This campaign is about keeping Burlington affordable, strengthening county services, and ensuring government works for residents. Looking forward to earning each vote in November!

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

President Trump can sign whatever the hell he wants to, but it won’t change the Constitution.

The authority to set our election rules belongs to the states — and as Governor, I will protect your right to vote.

That includes your right to vote by mail.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

This is unconstitutional. Voting is a fundamental right for every American. Illinois will keep administering free and fair elections – and what Donald Trump puts on a piece of paper will not change that.

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

The Constitution is clear: states run elections, not the federal government. New Jersey has administered safe, secure, and accessible voting for generations.

Our vote-by-mail system works. Millions of New Jerseyans — Republicans, Democrats, and unaffiliated voters alike — rely on it. The president himself has cast ballots by mail. This order does nothing to strengthen election integrity and is designed to make it harder for eligible citizens to vote.

Like everything Donald Trump gets involved in – from jobs to healthcare, to gas prices, a war with no plan, or even running our airports – he creates chaos and makes life harder for New Jerseyans. Let’s be clear: any problem with mail in ballots would be caused by Trump himself. I will take every action available to protect New Jerseyans fundamental voting rights.

[George W. Bush Presidential Center @TheBushCenter]

Statement by President George W. Bush on Robert Mueller:

"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

The future is brighter because a great human like @jchebra is stepping up and running for office! Let’s go!!

I’m running for Burlington County Commissioner to stand up for residents.

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

What's wild is Nuuk, Greenland (pop. 19.6k) has 16 buses in its transit system and has higher ridership than Wichita, Kansas's bus system (pop. 472k). Yet this country is defunding transit and wants to spend $700B on Greenland.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

An absolute legend.

Nancy Pelosi redefined leadership in our country. Her strength, vision, and unmatched commitment to deliver for working families changed lives and forever changed our country. And it was always “for the children”.

I am thankful for her service and mentorship, the opportunity to learn from her since I joined the House - and I look forward to the work ahead.

Thank you for everything, Madam Speaker.

As a former longtime WCBS 880 AM listener and political junkie I grew up with Mark Knoller and very much admired him. Great reporting, right down the middle. RIP.

[Jonathan Karl @jonkarl]

RIP Mark Knoller — a long-time pillar of the White House press corps and a true legend.

I first met Mark in the late 1990s. I was in awe of how quickly and decisively he worked. After a presidential event, reporters would rush to the press bus and the first thing you would hear was Knoller’s booming voice, instantly distilling what we had all witnessed in 30- or 60-second for @CBSRadio.

He was generous colleague — like so many others, I relied heavily on his self-created database of presidential activity (“Hey Mark, how many times has President Bush stopped by the Crawford Coffee Station?”) and, at key moments along the way, his dry sense of humor.

One more thing - Knoller was a reporter’s reporter. He reported the facts. I never had any clue what his political views were or even if he had any.

Thoughtful, forward-looking, and pro-TOD plan from a state transit agency. Hope Maryland moves forward with this bold expansion plan. Other states on the East Coast should take notice.

[MTA Maryland @mtamaryland]

It’s 2025, and we’re updating the Regional Transit Plan with new data and refined corridor recommendations. The Update is reviewing strategic progress since 2020, reanalyzing transit demand, and exploring options for priority corridors. Learn more: https://t.co/fjrsrCzNPU

@AmtrakNECAlerts Too hot, too cold, too rainy, too snowy (more of a plausible issue), too much demand, not enough demand. The number of adequate travel days are in the single digits.
