“Was I too much of a b—?” she asked after.

One-side blames immigrants, the other blames billionaires.
With obvious individual exceptions in each case, both groups makes the rest of us BETTER off.

the governor of new york state almost canceled this because the guy who runs the diner across the street from the most famous mass transit hub in america didn't like it
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

I do wish more candidates and elected Dems would do this.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Both NY Senators voted for this crap? What the hell is wrong with our Senators? Honestly, they need to both be primaried and beaten.
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

That’s why today, I am making the difficult decision to step aside so we on the left can consolidate behind a unified progressive candidacy.
