You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.
We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.
Period.
They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

I’ve lived in New York for 24 years and have never been canvassed before these two nice men knocked on my apartment door this afternoon. The Zohran army is real, and the fact that Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are sitting on the sidelines is not going to end well for them.

The man in blue is biking on the wrong side of the two way bike lane. He doesn’t know this because @nyc-dot.bsky.social hasn’t changed the outdated markings on the ground, over three months after they moved all pedestrians to the other side of the Queensboro Bridge. Needlessly dangerous!

I passed a rare 20 mph street today in the Queens neighborhood of Corona. Advocates fought for 10 years to get Albany to give us the right to set our own speed limits, and one year later we’ve lowered it to 20 on just a handful of roads. Our next mayor should quickly roll this out in every hood.

34th Ave in Queens is just spectacular. 5 years ago this was 4 lanes dedicated to the moving and free storage of private vehicles. Now it’s a park that stretches more than a mile and connects multiple schools. And it’s a great bike connector from Astoria to Flushing Meadows.

The bike infrastructure in New York, New York casino is woefully inadequate. You can’t just put up a sign and call it a day. We need physically separated lanes in this food court. The casino mayor has been slow rolling the Greenwich protected bike lane for years. He has to go.

Even for a true congestion pricing believer like me, it's shocking how well it's working. It's earning $49 million a month for the subway while making our streets so much more pleasant (including for those who have to drive!) Win win win.

Two blocks north of the Congestion Relief Zone border. Anecdotally, there was zero Friday rush hour traffic on 9th Avenue again this week. Unheard of.

9th Ave on Friday afternoons typically looks like a parking lot as it’s the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel. It’s difficult to even cross the street as a pedestrian, w/total gridlock blocking every crosswalk. Not so on the first Fri evening rush of congestion pricing. Things are moving right along.
