With congestion pricing now in effect, it's worth noting that one of its main advocates, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, testified in support of the initiative while seated in the back of his limousine, chauffeured by one of his two drivers at taxpayer expense.

NYT: How Deep Is the Wound to the Democratic Party?

The New York Times reports:

A key question emerging from the 2024 election is whether the Democratic Party is significantly — or even permanently — wounded. Can it return to fighting trim in 2026 and 2028?

A post-election YouGov poll commissioned by the Progressive Policy Institute, a centrist Democratic think tank, sent a clear message to party loyalists.

YouGov asked 5,098 working-class voters (defined as those without college degrees), including detailed analyses of voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and also asked 881 people in the national sample, to evaluate the political parties on measures of trust and commitment.

In response to the query which party do “you trust more to improve the economy, protect Americans from crime, handle the issue of immigration,” majorities of voters, according to the survey, chose the Republican Party, ranging from 55-34 on the economy to 57-29 on immigration.

An article well worth your time.
