Mayor Adams had an opportunity to lead here, to bring people together on a design that preserved and improved safety, but he decided to choose division and deception. Actually had a lot of nice, respectful conversations late last night. Thanks to @williamsburg365 for their

"No corporate PAC money" is a meaningless phrase here. Corporations can and do spend unlimited money supporting candidates for Congress. The candidate can never take a dime directly, benefit from millions of dollars spent to boost them, and say they honored the "pledge."

Super weird that the DOE is posting pics of anthracite coal mined in Zambia. Why didn't they post anthracite coal mined in the US? Because we haven't mined any in 80 years!

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate. I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵

Ok back to it on Mandani election for a bit. At least 3 factors are grossly under discussed by mainstream commentators to understand what happened: 1. Democrats reaction to Trump. More precisely, most democratic voters dismay at their party’s limp reaction to Republican horror.

The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the The New York Times is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.

One candidate sexually harasses women, is known bully, erased the deaths of seniors for a book he didn’t write and made $5 million off of. One candidate charged with bribery and corruption. Zohran played water pong. NYPost: let’s go with the water pong.
