This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Another note of thanks to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social who courageously spoke out against Cuomo from the beginning, through the primary, and all the way through today. A truly great New Yorker.

This was one of the best volunteer canvassing experiences I've ever had. A testament to the strong management of the campaign and the leadership at every level, most of whom are also volunteers.
When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary.
Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million.
In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million.
We just passed three.

Wow... They're just doing market manipulation and insider trading totally out in the open. Not even trying to be clever about it.

Some good news about Eastern Australian humpback whales.
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Sliwa: come for the cats but stay for this absolutely spot on answer to a bullshit question.
Curtis Silwa was asked if he felt okay with losing and contributing to Zohran Mamdani’s victory and he responded by laying into Bill Ackman and Andrew Cuomo.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 3: Earl Manigault
When he stepped onto the court, the world watched. No one dunked harder or jumped higher. But the GOAT never made it pro.
There are countless NYC stories like his. Brilliant talents lost to drugs or crime. It doesn’t have to be this way.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.
E-bikes support fewer car trips.

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers
They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

9. Oh, and: the pedestrianizing of Broadway is such a thrilling, obvious triumph. You can walk down the street now, surrounded by activity & vendors & music & life, with no cars in sight, and almost think for a minutes that you're in a proper city.
