According to documents obtained by Streetsblog and interviews with several government employees, the Federal Highway Administration has been analyzing congestion patterns along several critical Washington D.C. corridors outfitted with bike lanes, with an eye towards an unspecified "reallocation" of lane space - which sources say likely means giving it back to drivers. (The FHWA acknowledged an inquiry from Streetsblog but did not provide a comment for this story.)
The New York Nation, as some called this magazine in its early years, has always kept one eye on Los Angeles. Even if the magazine suggested in an 1869 essay on "The New West" that "not everything is lovely there," our writers have over the past century and a half been drawn to the sprawling city-with all its energy and possibility, along with its share of sordid realities and inequalities-and the broader story of what would come to be known as the Left Coast.
On the day of a Nov. 11 federal deadline for states to submit a water management plan for the Colorado River, negotiations remain deadlocked. Without agreement, it is unclear how a water supply that millions depend on will be managed after the fall of 2026. With hours left, a deal seems increasingly unlikely - raising the possibility of the federal government stepping in with its own plan, or that states will resort to litigation.
The Hands Off NYC campaign backed by the city's largest labor unions and civic groups, including 1199SEIU, 32BJ SEIU, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the New York Immigration Coalition held a rally at City Hall Park alongside elected officials to unveil what organizers described as a coordinated effort to train residents, build neighborhood communication networks and mount a nonviolent defense if President Donald Trump deploys National Guard troops to the city.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Carnell Vann Jr., trims a fade on an early morning client at his barber shop in the northern neighborhood of Frayser. As he sprays a can of hairspray for the finishing touches, he remembers his younger sister Marlanda. "She was a lovable person. She just liked to love on people," he says with a smile. Marlanda was buried this past weekend, after someone shot into her car while she was driving last month.
We must fight against antisemitism, but we equally need to protect our rights, including our right to free speech, and neither goal should nor needs to be sacrificed on the altar of the other.
We have this event in December. It's going to be a very safe. Gianni, you can walk on the street with your beautiful wife, can take her to dinner, can get a reservation which I doubt. GIANNI INFANTINO: They're all full, the restaurants. [Laughter] TRUMP: I heard that too, the restaurants are all full. Since we've been doing this, they are doing great. And many new restaurants will open because as you know, many restaurants closed. Many restaurants closed because the crime was so bad. This will be one of the safest places anywhere on earth.
President Donald Trump hinted at a potential federal takeover of Los Angeles and New York City due to upcoming major sporting events, stating, "People are so happy to see our military going into D.C. and getting these thugs out." His remarks came after he responded to criticism from Democrats regarding a recent federal police takeover in Washington, D.C. He claimed, "We're getting people that have arrest records that you wouldn't believe in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles."
