Our eyes — and those of our veterans — will be on Secretary Hegseth's meeting for any potential constitutional violations.

The worst part about the decline of economic statistics under Trump is we won't be able to see the drop in GDP on the day he dies when everyone leaves work early to celebrate.

Follow Up: Why was this being discussed in the situation room?

Donald Trump is fucking terrified of the Epstein Files being released

Donald Trump participated in the crime these people are being "pardoned" for. It's no different than if he'd been called for jury duty on the day his own trial began: it's a self-evident violation of due process and the next Dem AG needs to make clear on day one that they won't honor it.

trump wants to place urban america under occupation not because american cities are dangerous crime ridden slums but because theyre not.

A 50-year mortgage is deranged. Just tripling down on debt to give a marginal boost to the housing market and cover up his tariff shenanigans.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Most corrupt administration in history. Mind-boggling.

#tbt sorry we missed this, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

A million dollar bribe to run NASA.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

All YIMBY ballot measures are currently winning in NYC by 10-point margins at least

Absolutely massive BS coming from social media "influencers" ostensibly plugged into NY local politics (including, apparently, Elon Musk) pretending to be outraged about the design of the NYC mayoral ballot. NY has had multi-line candidates in every election since the 1800s.

Just in: Zohran Mamdani says he's voting yes on ballot questions 1-5 and no on 6.

Yet another scandal unprecedented in American history. Either Trump is senile and doesn’t recall issuing the pardon or a staffer issued it without Trump’s knowledge. Doesn’t matter which. Both are reason enough to remove him from office.

Listen to leading advocate for homeless New Yorkers, Shams DeBaron: We need to vote YES on Affordable Housing Ballot Proposals 2-5 to build enough affordable housing to tackle the homelessness crisis!

Up up and away

People are making a big deal out of this but I expect if they asked "when was the last time you moved" the gap would be widest, and for the same reason.

This is the best thing I've read on what the post-Trump constitutional order needs to look like. A proportional House that can remove the president without the kangaroo court of impeachment (which has literally never worked).

New housing stops landlords from raising rents—take it from the CEO of AvalonBay, one of NYC's largest landlords: "We're well-positioned… we face significantly less new supply. Land entitled for multifamily is hard to come by, the amount of time it takes to get those entitlements… sets us up well.”

This new map based on @theNYHC data makes it clear: it’s too easy to block affordable housing in wide swaths of the city. If you agree every neighborhood needs to do its part in solving our citywide housing crisis, vote YES on Props 2-5.

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it. Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!

The vision laid out by @caseyberk.bsky.social and @kynakwado.bsky.social in the wake of Amazon HQ2’s collapse is finally being realized nearly 7 years later! www.nydailynews.com/2019/02/17/a...

Sort of incredible that we live in a world where the vice president of the United States is just spewing the sort of horseshit that literal children are traditionally taught is wrong

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The Municipal Art Society has come out in support of @YesOnAffHousing.bsky.social NYC props 2-4!! The preservationist group says the proposals "represent a bold effort to address the urgent housing crisis and more equitably distribute housing citywide, in line with the Fair Housing Framework."

NIMBYing green energy infrastructure is quickly going to become (already is?) the main climate policy fight. Almost all the fossil fuel infrastructure that has ever been built already exists, so they and their Republican allies can just keep throwing up barriers and stand to profit.

"It's disheartening to be forced to go against your community members and your neighbors." "It feels illegal. This is not what we signed up to do." - Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek 2 Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors"

Generally the revealed preference of the Trump admin has been that the US should be a petro state with a software sector and maybe some low value added manufacturing somewhere.

I don't think "SNAP is a subsidy to low wage employers" frame is useful or correct. It implies that, if SNAP did not exist, these companies would be forced to pay workers more when the actual situation is that low wage workers would get the same wages from these employers as now but be poorer

So preposterously unconstitutional, but also: active duty military payroll is more than $3b **per week.** This is a pittance of that. It has nothing to do with helping out the troops- they want to establish the precedent that Trump can bypass Congress and fund the government with anonymous bribes.

This really is it. If you live in a metro area with an inelastic housing stock you will see no benefit from low unemployment and higher wages, you'll just see higher housing prices. No progressive economic project can work until housing is fixed.

"New Rochelle put the entire build-out plan through state environmental review in one shot. That spared individual proposals the political and legal grind that often slows things to a halt." This is the way. www.governing.com/magazine/get...

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Michael McKee, a relentless advocate for tenants and housing justice. His decades of leadership shaped fair housing policy and inspired generations of organizers. May his memory continue to inspire all who fight for the right to a home.

it is kinda amazing that despite being world-emperor trumps brain can only think to run slightly larger-scale scams than the scams he ran when he as just a new york real estate mogul

I’m sorry, let’s please stop saying the Governor doesn’t build housing in NYC??

"We need to build more housing all across NYC. Today NYC builds about 4 houses per 1,000 people, Jersey City is at 7, Tokyo is at about 10. We need to do this by streamlining the processes of private sector construction across the city, by ensuring we're building more around hubs of mass transit…

Conversely, if your city is not affordable, it is not well planned. Well planned cities should have enough housing and transportation for their populations to live affordably. Housing shortages and expensive transportation are *city planning* issues.

like in the past two days he started illegally tearing down the white house to build a ballroom paid for from money extorted from american companies and demanded that the government secretly pay him a quarter of a billion dollars for investigating him for crimes he more or less admits to

That's odd. Their president was found to have committed crimes related to gross corruption in office and they put him in jail? When is their Supreme Court going to declare him a king?

i love "no kings" especially because its making the gop do a batshit crazy argument of "no actually we like kings"

NEW: Rep. Dan Goldman is calling on the NYPD to arrest and even charge federal agents working in the city if they break New York’s laws. www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/20/d...

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

Traveling on the NYC subway and every car is packed with people heading to No Kings rallies right now
