My story on Bogotá's La Rolita, an all-electric public bus fleet with a gender equity focus -- half the drivers are women -- created by the Colombian capital to refurbish the image of its public transit system.

🇺🇸🇲🇽 New York Mayor Mamdani is now speaking directly to immigrants IN SPANISH, telling them how to deal with ICE agents
And he's getting VERY specific.
Don't open your door without a judicial warrant. You have the right to remain silent. Don't sign anything before speaking with a lawyer.
He even explains how to check whether a warrant is actually signed by a judge, rather than simply issued by immigration authorities.
Mamdani also reminds residents that NYPD officers do not participate in routine federal civil immigration enforcement and points them toward the city's free immigration legal hotline.
He's promising to protect the RIGHT TO PROTEST, too.
This goes beyond criticizing Trump's immigration crackdown. Mamdani is personally walking New Yorkers through how to exercise their rights when federal agents show up at their doors.
And he's doing it in the language many of the people he's trying to reach speak at home.

This broken ideology actually explains a lot. They just genuinely do not understand the strategy of making President Trump veto popular things — it almost makes you wonder if they just don't support the popular things at all.
.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto."
"If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."

BREAKING:
The Trump Justice Department just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots.
Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months.
Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic.
But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

“We don’t ride bicycles in Iowa,” Joe Mitchell said to President Trump during a GOP campaign rally.
Iowa’s roughly 900,000 cyclists, many of whom have participated in an annual cycling tour that’s made the state synonymous with biking, weren’t amused. wapo.st/4ilkArV

Anna Paulina Luna has voted six times to continue the Iran war. Now we might know why. Her husband owns 10% of Nokturnal AI, a drone startup she valued at just $1,000 in 2025 that has since raked in $37 million in Pentagon contracts. Coincidence? We don’t think so. Luna talks a big game about fighting corruption, but the rules never seem to apply when it’s her pockets that are being lined.

This week’s newsletter: I wrote about the GOPs strategy of Islamophobia has been aided by Democrats and the press. And I find the lack of pushback not only immoral but shortsighted.
We either all have a place in democracy or we don’t. And the forces seeking to marginalize their place in the American project will likely expand to others

Nearly 2 in 3 U.S. adults younger than 30 who plan to vote in midterms say their main motivation is to oppose Trump and his policies, according to a new Harvard Youth Poll.
77% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy — including about half of young Republicans.
Poor child, Rest in Peace. What a travesty.
