A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.
But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

So many men acting confused that women voted for Mamdani in such large numbers.
It’s almost as if we got sick and tired with having to choose between the lesser of two evils.
Fed up with sexual abusers and serial predators being elected to office.
We said “enough” and chose change.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

While not receiving much attention in the media, down-ballot positions are a critical line of defense against Trump-MAGA extremism.

But there were significant contests around the country, including in purple and red states.
