@TheMikeTrainor Is this a bit? If not, I'm sorry to hear.

@NJTRANSIT Week 1 after bridge project completes: "NEC trains are running 30 minutes delayed due to issues on the new portal bridge". The headlines write themselves.

[PB @lymphonerd]

@NJTRANSIT pay attention

OPINION: The people keep paying, NJ Transit keeps falling apart https://t.co/FLOKvSvhCK

[PB @lymphonerd]

@NJTRANSIT_RVL Y'all got some nerve raising prices with still no change in service reliability, increased schedules, nothing.

[PB @lymphonerd]

@NJTRANSIT If y'all cancel trains due to lack of HVAC, then you're not inspecting thoroughly enough because there's more trains that are very obviously broken. Why are there so many??? You had time to plan for this

[Ramon van Meer @ramonvanmeer]

Everyone says they’d pay more for “Made in the USA.”

I tested it.

We make a $129 filtered showerhead manufactured in China. With tariffs surging to 170%, we explored reshoring. We found a U.S. supplier. Our costs nearly tripled.

I ran a clean A/B test:

When you're scrolling, and you wonder why some things have the engagement they do on this app, just come back and look at this racist garbage and realize 35k and 25k people like these types of things. That tells you the type of people left here.

The Senate has the power to stop the chaos, corruption, higher costs AND keep the government open.

@NJTRANSIT_RVL Not aging well...

[PB @lymphonerd]

@NJTRANSIT_RVL Can someone explain the reason for hourly only service??? You know for working parents this is completely untenable right? Make a choice between seeing my kids or going to work because it takes+1 hour to get to work because of the bus PLUS limited availability??

@jmhartley1 @krassenstein @elonmusk Please list out all of the evidence you've obtained of this "whole system" being corrupt. Remember, corruption is not defined as "I don't agree with how this money is being spent".

[PB @lymphonerd]

@elonmusk You've yet to uncover true "fraud." You've uncovered POSSIBLE wasteful spending. Waste != Fraud until you can prove the intent. Stop whipping every1 into a frenzy

fraud (fròd)
any act, expression, omission, or concealment calculated to deceive another to his or her disadvantage

I wonder how many Americans who consider themselves politically aware could pass a civics test about how our government is supposed to function. I wonder how many Americans who ostensibly talk about politics as part of how they make a living could. Our anti-education/anti-knowledge culture has come for our constitutional society. And people who consider themselves "patriotic" celebrate dismantling the very aspects of our Framer's work that those exquisite-minded guys were most proud of. Co-equal branches of govt and checks and balances. Not bugs...but this system's greatest features. We are a politically hypocritical society and this will cost us. Can you imagine if the Biden/Harris/Hillary Clinton crowd were doing and saying the sort of things Trump is saying now? How many of you Trump fans would be ready to take to the streets? "That's what the 2d Amendment is for Dan"...how many times have I been told that by the "defenders of our Constitution"? For 40 years you've been saying it to me! So...it's only a problem if THEY'RE doing it? One side gets a pass at assaulting the constitutional wall that protects us all, and the other doesn't? How many of you would say "they're only joking" or "don't worry, it's a negotiation position" if Kamala Harris said these things? Serious question. You'd be just fine with it? No big deal? And I'm sure the right-wing talker's ecosystem would be too? All of this is going to come back to bite us. All of it. We are shortsighted, propagandized, political hypocrites. And we simply refuse to apply the same standards to both sides.
And while I'm ranting: half of this problem is the fault of the Democratic Party. I've never seen such a toothless, feckless, directionless, passion-free group of poor political candidates in my life (and I was of voting age in the Mondale/Dukakis years). Only their most radical wing shows any passion or life at all...and that's the group that absolutely, positively can't win a general election.
When the great historian in the sky writes about this era the "other party" in a two-party system deserves a ton of the blame too. Everyone over 70 years old in that party should resign right now. What Trump is trying to do in our system now is exactly what the Founders designed safeguards to prevent. And that's why Trump is targeting the safeguards.

@realDonaldTrump No

Great read, summarizes the perspective perfectly.

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

@elonmusk I've yet to see actual transparency, just unsubstantiated propaganda. Come back to us with actual proof and you will earn trust with others, rather than your current perception of just bulldozing valuable services rather than surgically cutting out waste
