I think in some cases it is ok to expand the highway but citizens should not be forced to cell their house to the government for a highway.

 @BDGVC77 from New York  agreed…1mo1MO

I don't agree to banning highway expansion. highways are the most common and popular road ways. why not expand or fix them constantly. if people want their cars to last the main issue is bad roadways.

  @kaylavb7Peace and Freedom  from Michigan  agreed…1mo1MO

i don't agree because our highways are terrible the amount of cars that are damaged you mind as well be putting fundings towards the highways so we don't have to keep putting it into getting a new car every 6 months

 @BDF4PHN from Texas  disagreed…1mo1MO

I think people should stop building highways on the roads because it is causing more trouble and car excitant.

 @BDHNT3VRepublican from Wisconsin  commented…1mo1MO

I feel that the government should try to expand highways in order to avoid traffic. They would be beneficial because then everyone would get places on time.

 @BDF4CQH from Utah  disagreed…1mo1MO

We need that space to conserve plant life. Eventually, the whole world will just be asphalt. Public transportation will not only decrease the emissions that come from vehicles, but will also help people get jobs without being able to afford cars. Expanding highways will only make things more difficult and traffic less safe.

Public Transit is vastly more efficient in every way. Concrete highways are archaic and the car culture of America contributes to global warming and complete societal isolation from each other. Similarly, highways are only for long distances where everyone is going to the same place. This is perfect for public transport.

 @BDDQNBX  from Florida  disagreed…1mo1MO

Adding more lanes has not shown any improvement in traffic congestion. Focusing more on public transit and getting cars off the roads is a better use of time and money. More walkable living leads to a healthier country

 @BDDQ52C from Florida  disagreed…1mo1MO

It would cost less resources and time to improve the flow of traffic through public transport which has many benefits. It would decrease congestion as well offering more resources to underserved communities that lack the resources to afford transport.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
