It's impressive how quickly Paris has transformed car-dominant roads, prioritising more efficient modes of transportation. One lane for drivers on the right side, made to wallow in their own stop-and-start inefficiency, two giant lanes for bikes.

Trump is cashing in on the presidency. But exactly how much is he making? I spent months of reporting to add it up: https://t.co/nYryriMhaX

.@ddk_nyc tallies up the Trump ​​family’s profiteering—including a luxury jet from Qatar, a blitz of hotel megadeals, and half a dozen projects peddling crypto—to put a number on our Executive-in-Chief’s self-enrichment.

"Buses moved so well that schedules were changed so that drivers weren't left waiting at the end of the route for long periods of time until their next run.

"Large logistics companies altered their delivery scheme because they could deliver more parcels than they could before."

State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron wrote that he suspects the governor doesn't have a choice in the matter of signing an agreement to allow congestion pricing to launch. https://t.co/1IqKDDhD3p

I've written a tough piece about what I see as President Biden's failure in the Middle East. I like the man and I think he's done brilliantly in East Asia policy, but in the Middle East since Oct. 7 he didn't use leverage and kept appealing to Netanyahu's better angels -- who probably don't exist. The upshot is that he kept getting rolled by Bibi. Biden wanted peace but became the arms supplier for expanding war that has been a moral and practical failure. My take on the year since Oct. 7 https://t.co/x0maorjb8N I welcome your thoughts.

After January 6 (and Charlottesville), what is the FBI doing to counter the threat of far-right violence around the election? Not as much as these vigilante spies.

Republican lawmakers claim "weaponized" federal law is targeting conservatives. Is that making the FBI too timid about policing the far-right? https://t.co/Cd7rjf1ICh
