I assure you this is all very important and is basically exposing the superstructure underlying Brooklyn's ramshackle political spoils system but it's also really confusing so luckily we made this really helpful graphic to explain who is working with who. hellgatenyc.com/frank-seddio...

How's Zohran doing during his first "tin cup" day? Who's to say? All I know is that I want him to keep taking bathroom breaks so the legislature can keep cutting to these incredible jams while in recess.

This isn't as much of a gotcha as NYT thinks—Townsend's building is incredibly poorly designed for such a large footprint. Half of the building is basically unusable for teaching....design failure, not really a capacity issue! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/n...

Mamdani about to announce another Biden alum for his City Hall—Sam Levine, the former director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. He'll be named the commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, which looks to play a major role in Mamdani's pro-worker agenda.

It’s so clear now he was just watching the takeoffs from LaGuardia and thinking about Sully this explains everything

The trainer insisted that nobody is being "scanned" by the tube, and that no one has gotten stuck either, though there is a "release valve" button to press on the inside of the tube in case that happens.

SOME local news outlets would look upon the end of the NYC mayoral as a chance to kick back and recuperate. BUT NOT @hellgatenyc.com !!! Because secretly this whole time we've been working on a MASSIVE UPDATE TO THE TABLE OF SUCCESS. Welcome to THE LAST SUPPER. tableofsuccess.hellgatenyc.com

Lots of headwinds for Mamdani but one positive is both the absolute glut of extremely qualified mid-career professionals now looking for a government job with civil service protections and that Mamdani inherits a hollowed-out city government with tons of vacancies.

Zohran put up DPRK numbers in Bushwick lol

Dozens of federal agents swarmed into downtown Manhattan near Chinatown on Tuesday afternoon, stepping out of unmarked vehicles and detaining several New Yorkers in a hectic raid that targeted people who fit the profile of a counterfeit goods vendor. hellgatenyc.com/ice-storms-c...

For @talkingpointsmemo.com on building @hellgatenyc.com: Is the cure to local news starting really small, building up subscribers day after day, & breaking stories, until one day everyone has health care, good salaries, and no threat of being laid off???

Not even taking the teams into consideration, kind of wild that we built two stadiums that cost roughly the same during the same year and one is good and one is bad

This is such a strong piece by Liv Veazey for @hellgatenyc.com offering the banality of ICE agents as they huddle and lounge around Lower Manhattan, engaging in the most barbaric of activities, kidnapping and holding people in a gulag and then talking about slurpees. hellgatenyc.com/what-ice-age...

Happy bday of full website/paywall to @hellgatenyc.com!!! Proving the haters wrong for three full years now.
