I got real mad at the Senate dems caving last night. So I signed up for stuff: Rep Your Block info session for County Committee, added the next @opennewyork.org meeting to my calendar and RSVP’d to a climate protest to keep myself accountable for showing up.

Palladino in for Juric for Atalanta. I thought Palladino’s Fiorentina last year was fun, ran hard and was dangerous. Of course it helps to have Kean. Kneejerk reactions are silly, but I think this is better than slogging along with Juric. m.tuttoatalanta.com/primo-piano/...

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Atalanta hasn’t won a Serie A game since 9/21. They are 0-5-2 and have scored 4 goals in those 7, with back to back losses to Cremonese and Sassuolo but ties with the two best teams they played, Milan and Juve. Minus Retegui, this is basically the team that finished third last year. #sad

Yikes. “I can't explain this collapse today” 1st year coach concedes he’s made the team worse: "The coach always bears responsibility, for better or worse. It disturbs me emotionally to see players who used to perform well and now have slipped again." m.tuttoatalanta.com/primo-piano/...

Every dollar spent on NESE would be better spent weatherizing buildings and deploying heat pumps and related building electrification tech in NYC and on LI. Oh, and building it is not consistent with the CLCPA after another judge already ruled that DEC is violating the law. Lawsuits coming?

My team worked on alternatives to NESE half a decade ago. Stunning to see Hochul just slip it in through. $B charged to New Yorkers …

No question. Even at staff/managerial levels, both my wife and I are interested in public service. Roughly lateral moves imply taking salary cuts of ~30%. We’ve talked about it and built it into our family plan, but it’s real.

I think this is true and also applies to state and local government.

Which avenue first?

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

Given opponent (OLM is 2nd in Ligue 1) and situation, Atalanta played their best full game of the season. Certainly their best start to a match. Dominated first 15’ and earned the pen that CDK couldn’t finish. Flagged after that but controlled middle of the field and created space and chances.

oops here is the gift link

It’s delicious.

Election night suspense is overrated.

While we wait for election night results, let’s look at the NBA standings. Seven or eight games into the NBA season, I think there’s a decent chance that the top 10 in each conference will be the playoffs and play-in teams. Prove me wrong, Celts, Jazz and Grizz. Early sorting!

Accomplished something important today, traded baby pics and convinced a friend to vote yes on ballot proposal 5. @yesonaffhousing.bsky.social

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

Closing Indian Point drove up emissions downstate. Brilliant. Definitely want to brag about this legacy. Cuomo interest group politics leading to bad results.

Hahaha. I cannot see this truck with thinking back to 1994. And watching Knicks-Rockets at my buddy Jason’s place.

Voted early on Saturday. I got a little emotional at the ballot proposals. It was a thrill to vote directly for more housing and more affordable housing. Thank you to everyone who got us here. And let’s do it again. So vote yes on all of those ballot measures, NYC.

OG is my favorite Knick.

Yeah, the best argument for Juric’s system working is that in 5-of-6 draws (all but Juve) Atalanta has had the better xG.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

All of this. Yes on 2, 3 and 4 for more housing in NYC.

I’m learning to speak Croatian. Do I have this right that Ivan Juric means “disappointing draw”? Or is it “fired before Christmas”? #Atalanta

The priorities for the next American Constitution are doing away with the Senate, the Electoral College and single-member House districts. But equally important is eliminating the extremely aberrant and patently undemocratic way we do judicial review.

Any editors want to take this on?

Seems corrupt. Here me out. maybe we should have a non-corrupt president.

The Art of the Deal.

Yes, but with those fitness standards … it’s less scary.

Trump clocks in at 37%-61% in new AP-NORC poll. It’s the worst poll of his rancid 2nd term. Happy No Kings Day!

Voting yes on questions 2–4 will give Mayor Mamdani the power to override NIMBY council members to build affordable housing in every neighborhood!

We're in an unprecedented housing shortage. We need more affordable housing in every neighborhood of NYC. If you're not voting for Curtis Sliwa, you should vote @YesOnAffHousing.bsky.social Props 2-5!

Learned some things. But it’s bad. See you at #NoKings on Saturday.

This is a great factcheck on the DHS sizzle videos of them rounding up immigrants: they are leaving a lot of context out.

This is bad. Propane is a legal refrigerant in Europe and Asia. Should be here too. Calling ASHRAE the regulator, is the problem. They’re really an industry org, but government outsourced regulatory and certification standards to it. Right?

Miller and Trump’s secret police. Make it stop.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

This is enough carbon-free energy to power maybe two thirds of Vegas btw

Good on you @cmrestler.bsky.social nypost.com/2025/10/06/u...

This is hard to read. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Seems dumb. www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/10/stra...

This is the best elevator pitch I've seen from Dems on the shutdown.

More people work at ski resorts every winter than at coal plants.

now that eric adams has ended his campaign for mayor it’s time to stroll down memory lane

Ok, Mets fans, when you turned off the game broadcast after the Lindor double-play, what music did you put on? I pressed play on Boygenius’ 2018 self titled EP.

Goodnight moon. Goodnight Mets.
