route out of the la basin that la-sd cahsr is using, so that train could stop at the station too before heading off to the cacti. thus, as pictured on the attached map, ont has the potential to be one of the best-connected airports in the entire country w travelers being... 7/

ALT Map of conceptual rail connections at Ontario International Airport . The proposal would reroute Metrolink Riverside Line up Haven Avenue to the Union Pacific Alhambra Subdivision on the north side of the airport where it would share a station with Brightline West extended south from Rancho Cucamonga via Deer Creek (and potentially on to San Diego), CAHSR LA-SD service, and LA-Phoenix HSR service.
you didn't ask, but here are my comments & thoughts on the #Midterms2026 as well as what we can expect in 2028 #potus race

we need @XavierBecerra to send in the national guard
π¨ FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENTS BLOCKED AN EMERGENCY ROOM'S AMBULANCE ENTRANCE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS.
Not according to protesters. According to the hospital itself.
At Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles, armed federal agents formed a line across the ambulance entrance overnight November 6β7.
The hospital says it neither requested nor authorized the blockade.
AMBULANCES HAD TO BE DIVERTED TO OTHER HOSPITALS.
We don't yet know how many patients were affected or whether anyone suffered harm.
But we know emergency ambulance access was disrupted.
Who ordered it? What justified it? And why did it last roughly two hours?
EMERGENCY MEDICAL ACCESS SHOULD NOT BECOME COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.
Watch the footage. π

the correct move is to keep the filibuster but lower it to 55 & at the same time reinstate it for judicial nominees & scotus at 55 too
With 56 senators, itβs starting to *really* look like Dems will have the votes to switch to a talking filibuster, effectively abolishing it.
That just means that under the next GOP trifecta, the SAVE act will pass immediately. So too will a national abortion ban. And weβll have to live with all of that for at least two years. Which is easier said than done. Because if what the save act does to married women is true, then itβll be somewhat difficult to just βvoteβ our way out of that.
Maybe weβll just decide that we can just put all this stuff on the back burner for the next six to eight years, since thatβs how long it will realistically take for the GOP to regain the Senate majority, but man. There will be hell to pay when these new rules are in effect under the next GOP trifecta.
Maybe thatβs just the way it has to go down, for things to get better *long-term*. But either wayβ¦ just putting this out there.

i'm not extremely opposed to the npv compact but i think a system like maine & nebraska would be better overall
BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governorβs race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a βsafeβ state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.
Please β€οΈ and share if you support this idea!

every single time Republicans show themselves to be bad-faith actors
Republican Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison has called on Governor Greg Abbott to call a special legislative session to limit new governor elect Gina Hinojosa's emergency powers
"If not revoked, guarantee that Gina Hinojosa... inherit nearly all the powers of a dictator"

oh i get it now, @SEPeaceMissions was confused by the word "humanitarian" being the activity/word where putin loves bombing civilians the most
To understand Russian culture, understand that Russians just dropped nine multi-ton guided bombs on 60 people that had come to a local school to line up for weekly humanitarian aid distribution.

voter suppression
NEW: Mail ballot rejection rates in North Carolina now sit at nearly 6% following Republicans' decision to implement a new envelope sealing rule before the midterms.
One advocate noted that the steadily-growing rate "could make the difference in many key races.β demdock.com/4i97saq
