The moderate vs progressive framing doesn't apply at all to the Crockett-Talarico race. Talarico is clearly to Crockett's left on economics. Crockett is clearly to Talarico's left on provocative language & vibes. Left on economics yet moderate-coded is the strongest track for Dems to run on.

New Jersey’s own Jack Hughes with the game winning goal!!!!

The entire coastal northeast is about to get absolutely hammered by a generational blizzard. This is the national blend of models and it's predicting 2 feet in NYC, Boston, and most of coastal New England. This will bind come with wind gusts approaching 70mph in some places.

❄️ CODE BLUE is in effect. No one should face this storm without shelter. 🏠 St. Lucy's Shelter — 619 Grove St, Jersey City 🏠 PERC Shelter — 111 37th St, Union City Need help? Call (201) 604-2600.

A few things to know before the storm hits: 🗑️ Garbage collection is CANCELED Sunday 🏛️ City government offices CLOSED starting Sunday 2PM and Monday 🚗 Snow emergency routes will NOT be enforced — you will NOT be ticketed if legally parked

A fight between the openly antisemitic right-wing anti-Zionism of Tucker Carlson and the superficially philosemitic Christian Zionism of Mike Huckabee truly is a fight where I want both sides to somehow lose.

Alysa Liu = new celebrity crush. Alt part-Asian transit nerd? Basically me.

NJ just dropped 2025 property tax/value data. If you live anywhere in NJ, check out this table:

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

what the fuck am i looking at we're in a whole new era

@katiebrennan.bsky.social and @ravibhalla.bsky.social are an absolute breath of fresh air in Trenton.

The Supreme Court:

bruh someone in Bergen County needs to pull petitions now

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

Just an absolutely insane election - and one of the few I’ve seen where a middle class-upper class income divide was decisive across racial and educational lines. Excited to see Analilia Mejia in Congress soon!

Great urbanism makes for great parades. Thank you New Orleans! Laissez les bons temps roulez!

Mejia's Republican opponent is already on TV attacking her—fight back by proving her win was no fluke: secure.actblue.com/donate/break...

Nigel Farage should be heckled everywhere he goes, but also, calling Jews who support Reform UK “Reform Jewish” is going to get very confusing very quickly.

This is emblematic of a larger structural problem. In a region that has grown almost exclusively by sprawl due to state and local policy - growth has long left Dallas city and county limits behind. The bill for Dallas’ infrastructure is coming due and there’s no infill growth to pay to renew it.

just one facet of how a couple decades of North Jersey being the most affordable and fastest growing part of a high-demand NYC metro is going to start doing nasty things to the machine as millennials and zoomers reach critical mass in the electorate

Lmao of course it’s NIMBY shit

Fun fact - Howard Lutnick’s name still adorns Haverford College’s main library, which was built via a generous donation from this scumbag.

without any further ado, a mix of federal, state, and county candidates challenging the dirty underbelly of the NJ machine (which will be updated with new candidates as they emerge.) donate if you want Jersey to elect Analilia Mejia and candidates like her: secure.actblue.com/donate/break...

The funniest result here is radicalizing a center left Malinowski against AIPAC. I watched the same thing happen to Sherrill when they illegally released her personal records. Once these idiots make it personal, they create a dangerous enemy of someone who might have previously looked the other way.

👀 @tommalinowski.bsky.social the whole progressive movement would have your back here.

Absolute bro move from Malinowski. Gained a lot of respect for him for bowing out graciously here. Fuck AIPAC.

My experience: a discussion that starts with "City Y needs technology X" tends to be far less useful than one that starts with "We need better transit between A, B, and C."

Very excited to say that the stars have aligned and NYU Marron/Transit Costs Project have landed a grant that will fund a second edition of Momentum, which will apply the high-throughput framework to major regional rail networks beyond the NY area. Our three big new cases: - NJT - SEPTA - METRA

Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but the only references to Netanyahu in the Epstein files are emails sent exchanging articles about him, or others discussing him. I think it's very bad that the most popular left-wing streamer on the internet is a raging antisemite.

Impeachable. Absolutely impeachable.

County government in New Jersey is relatively obscure, but county government in New Jersey is powerful, flush with cash, and loaded with no-show jobs and rigged contracts—Hudson runs a $715M budget with a surplus, and my friend David is running to audit everything and use the savings for the people.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

it's very true chat

Real!

Inject this into my veins

seems to be new vote from essex county, in a batch that mejia won

While the political world waits for a winner Progressive @analiliafornj.bsky.social leads in the Contest to replace Gov Mikie Sherrill by 0.8% over former Congressman Tom Malinowski — with a Divided field of former LG Tahesha Way, Essex Commissioner Brendan Gill, & others taking the rest

the voters of a rich suburban district outside New York City just voted for a Sanders/AOC-endorsed labor organizer who wants to abolish ICE

If you're not watching NJ-11, you should be An AIPAC super PAC spent ~2 million on anti-Malinowski ads bc, while generally pro-Israel, he expressed openness to conditions on aid. But they didn't openly attack on Israel; they attacked from left on other issues. Now Mejia, a progressive Dem, may win

Given how close the NJ-11 primary is (Mejia beating Malinowski by less than 1 point), it seems clear that Malinowski probably would have won if AIPAC hadn't done everything it could to drive liberal voters away from him, right?

The Partnership under Fulop is absolutely going to run right into the buzzsaw of anti-corporate backlash if they try to pick high-profile political fights with a Mamdani and Hochul.

Chicago is actually really bad at building TOD. There are only 34 'L' stations in the entire city where the average surrounding building height is greater than 30 feet, and 16 of them are in the Loop.

Seeing all the “professional” activists go after Stancil is negatively polarizing me into a stance that Minnesota is winning because it’s normal people rising to the occasion and pushing a lot of activist nonsense out of the way by doing it

i truly hate how much we are living in a bad script

Note the shift after Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported

Confused as to how Josh Shapiro thinks it is appropriate to compare student protestors to the KKK but inappropriate to compare ICE to the Gestapo

This is so unhinged

This is exactly how the GOP has made gains on Long Island,
