Cuomo, who is running in a Democratic primary in New York City, is attacking AOC and Bernie Sanders for opposing the Trump administration too strongly, which is certainly...a choice. www.thedailybeast.com/andrew-cuomo...
Andrew Cuomo Slams AOC’s Rally Tour for ‘Capitalizing’ on Voters’ Trump Fears
The New York City mayoral frontrunner also argued that the Democratic party had “hijacked” itself with cultural issues.

If you're looking for non-Cuomo hope in the recent Siena #nycmayor poll that shows Cuomo def. Mamdani nearly 2:1, it's this:
The RCV simulation means eliminating the 20% "undecided" vote in round 1. If you instead carry through to round 8, you get something like Cuomo 51%, Mamdani 29%, Undecided 20%

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Back in my day, we would swipe a metrocard and used a map with a bunch of squiggly lines on it to get around on the 9 train
Say hello to a new subway map! 🗺️

Today, the MTA unveiled a new subway diagram that provides riders with essential travel information in an easily readable, bright, and orderly manner.

I just went to the immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Thousands of service members are guarding empty tents, there are fewer than 4 dozen immigrants there, and they have to import all supplies except for water and power. This isn’t worth the cost or the cruelty.
What We Know About the Month-Old Migrant Mission at Guantánamo Bay
President Trump said the base would house as many as 30,000 migrants awaiting deportation. But construction of a tent city was halted weeks ago.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."
