Transportation is often seen as a place of bipartisan calm, an "island of normalcy"... It's clear now more than ever that that is no longer the case. @stevenhigashide.com's latest piece shows how USDOT has been instrumental in Trump’s authoritarian push.

Why is the Dept of Transportation trying to torpedo NYC congestion pricing? Why - in God’s name - is Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on TV smearing the Minnesotans killed by ICE? For @newrepublic.com, I show Trump has turned USDOT into an authoritarian weapon. newrepublic.com/article/2051...
The policies that govern how we get from place to place are usually immune to partisanship. This administration is using them to advance Trump’s authoritarian agenda.
