The ideas driving the rise of illiberalism aren’t good—but they’re not particularly new, either.

Iowa City’s fare-free bus pilot program shouldn’t be seen as a model for New York. Iowa City’s system provides 1.6 million rides annually, while New York’s buses carry more than 400 million passengers. Read more from @Shawn_Regan and @mattkahn1966:

What environmentalists now call a "death sentence" for species is precisely the approach the Biden administration used for monarchs and wolverines. Trump’s proposal would simply require all threatened species to receive the same flexible treatment.
