Don't look to the US Senate to cut car dependency, look to the DC Council. Look to the state legislatures in CA, OR, WA, MA, CT, NY, NJ, and MD. They have all the power they need. https://t.co/4tfaDTW151 — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with IIJA as climate legislation is that spending money alone can't make people ride transit, you need agencies to actually improve operations and to get cities and states to improve land use policy. But this is wholly within the power of blue state governments. — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans wanted to cut spending they could cut spending. But the Trump and W Bush administrations both increased spending in the aggregate. What they specifically cut spending on was tax enforcement, because their favorite people in the world are rich criminals. — PolitiTweet.org
