hello from the “horrible city” of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Milwaukee installed a raised crosswalk in front of an elementary school on the south side & the fraction of cars speeding fell from 30% to 2%. You love to see it.

To put some specific numbers on this widespread belief: 35% of Harris votes came from Milwaukee & Dane counties vs 13% of Trump votes & 25% of the state's population. Lopsided, yes. 'Vast majority,' not even close.

China has 15,500 miles of high-speed rail under construction, enough to go back and forth between Los Angeles and Boston five times.
California high-speed rail is a project that will never be built. 16 years, $15 billion, and zero tracks laid is no record to fundraise on. Thanks to this Administration, American taxpayers will not foot the bill for this billion-dollar boondoggle.
"Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates "like dogs," according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities."
