Mamdani about to announce another Biden alum for his City Hall—Sam Levine, the former director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.

He'll be named the commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, which looks to play a major role in Mamdani's pro-worker agenda.

The trainer insisted that nobody is being "scanned" by the tube, and that no one has gotten stuck either, though there is a "release valve" button to press on the inside of the tube in case that happens.

The appearance of the tubes has people asking about the tubes!!

SOME local news outlets would look upon the end of the NYC mayoral as a chance to kick back and recuperate.

BUT NOT @hellgatenyc.com !!!

Because secretly this whole time we've been working on a MASSIVE UPDATE TO THE TABLE OF SUCCESS.

Welcome to THE LAST SUPPER.

Lots of headwinds for Mamdani but one positive is both the absolute glut of extremely qualified mid-career professionals now looking for a government job with civil service protections and that Mamdani inherits a hollowed-out city government with tons of vacancies.

Dozens of federal agents swarmed into downtown Manhattan near Chinatown on Tuesday afternoon, stepping out of unmarked vehicles and detaining several New Yorkers in a hectic raid that targeted people who fit the profile of a counterfeit goods vendor.

For @talkingpointsmemo.com on building @hellgatenyc.com:
Is the cure to local news starting really small, building up subscribers day after day, & breaking stories, until one day everyone has health care, good salaries, and no threat of being laid off??? MAYBE!
