Today I'm so honored to earn the endorsement of @drichardsqns.bsky.social, who fights for the world's borough every day.
We recently rode the Q4 in Jamaica, one of the five bus lines made free in our fare free bus pilot. Ridership jumped 30%, and everyone's commute got a little bit easier.

Here's the press release:
19 new stations with connections to 17 subway lines and a runtime of 32 minutes across 14 miles. This truly is a game-changer. No word on estimated completion date. We are probably looking at 2032ish.

For Eric Adams, the law is simply a suggestion—especially when it comes to funding his campaigns.
Thankfully Donald Trump can't bail him out of this one.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is the greatest comedic genius of our time
Then the mayor says the following, re: Khalil: "What I'm finding surprising is the level of support you're all displaying, but I didn't see that support for me"

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.
the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

Really wonder why Elon felt so compelled to buy the White House—other than driving more federal contracts to himself and his billionaire buddies.
Could there have been another catalyst for him and Bezos to do what they did? 🧐

one of the most persistent myths in punditry is that you can pull a coherent rationale out of the american voter. swing voters are, by and large, doing a surface level assessment of their current situation and giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
