Let me tell you something very relevant to know: @chiosse.bsky.social is one of a very few members of the council to move a big, truly important bill to passage in decades.
He banned broker fees for renters, which were an outrageous rip off that cost millions of NYers big money.

Z's 2025 general-election honeymoon with Hochul is over; the 2026 race for NY governor has begun.
Hochul has only industry $, no people power. Let us exploit her gubernatorial primary to our advantage.

Hochul’s dirty deal w/ Trump on the pipeline follows other pro-oil & gas decisions.
The NYS DEC commissioner, NYSERDA president NYS PSC chair talk like they’re pro-consumer/anti-pollution, but they govern like oil/gas lobbyists.
Lefton, Harris & Christian should resign.

#Hochul is acting like Trump
The law breaking is blatant. That’s why a state judge ordered her to comply with the law and issue regulations as she’s failed to do by early February.
Instead of following the law to help NYers, Hochul’s appealing the court order. (Adds several months of delay)

Meanwhile in deep blue NY corporate democratic Governor Kathy Hochul just did a dirty deal with Trump to build a huge new fracked gas pipeline project. It’s bonkers. We have to vote her and the rest of them out!

Adding a bike lane in place of a car lane on Court Street in Brooklyn has been GREAT. One reason is that on that side of the street, we’re no longer penned in by a wall of car. Instead. It’s a much nicer sidewalk space where the occasional bike goes by. It’s super nice!
