Paris’ transformation, gearing its glorious streets towards pedestrians and cyclists is a joy. London could learn a lot from it.
The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership. https://t.co/DJHxcn13Zr

Ticketmaster and Live Nation executives bragged they’re “robbing music fans blind.” So naturally, the Trump administration let them off the hook with a paltry fine that amounts to less than 1 percent of Live Nation’s revenue.
Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind." “These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says. That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.

I’ve heard a lot of vote explanations, but Sen. Rachel May on the @NYSenDems budget resolution is a master class in a concise argument with a measured fervor. And with no notes!

One more day until Parade Day! Congratulations to our Gael of the Year and Grand Marshals who painted the stripe on Salina Street this morning – and even let me paint a little bit. Syracuse can’t wait to celebrate our Irish heritage tomorrow.

Judge Subramanian just berated the Justice Department in court, saying it "shows absolute disrespect for the court, for the jury, for this entire process." This is the most incompetent and corrupt administration of our lifetimes.
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook. The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly. But Trump just let them settle out of court.

Crazy idea: stop taking money from corporations and show the American people we are the party that stands against the corporation screwing over Americans.
new - Top Democrats are weighing how harshly they would go after corporations that have courted President Donald Trump’s approval, if they retake the House in November. https://t.co/cvPBfK8rf3

Any place that subsidizes stadiums for billionaires is run by suckers
Indiana is open for business, and our pro-growth environment continues to attract major opportunities like this partnership with the Chicago Bears. We’ve identified a promising site near Wolf Lake in Hammond and established a broad framework for negotiating a final deal. If

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency just repealed the endangerment finding, the foundational regulation to protect communities against climate change. My statement on this action is here:

Absolutely absurd. This isn’t based on science, it’s based on increasing oil companies bottom lines. Shameful decision that future generations will be truly harmed by.
BREAKING: President Trump announces a repeal of the EPA's landmark 2009 finding on greenhouse gases' harmful effect on the climate, calling it the "single largest deregulatory action in American history." https://t.co/LDHKvbycQe

Maybe it wasn’t such a great idea to fire all your foreign correspondents
Correction: A previous version of this post misidentified the South Caucasus as belonging to Russia. The region, made up of territory in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, is not part of Russia. We deleted the previous tweet.
