New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’

Gov Pataki (lol), an energy healer & so on

He is so dementia-ridden he doesn't know she left office two years ago.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

We've already offered incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani a list of the livable streets movement's low-hanging fruit that he could quickly accomplish on Day 1 to make the city a better place. Now, the hard work must begin.

We’re always going to half-ass the bike network and the idea of bus priority if we go through all the hell of getting these lanes in the street and we let anyone who wants to park in them

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has the chance to revolutionize the city’s streetscape, as other ambitious mayors did across the globe. Here’s how nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/05/a...

“One fact..political consultants regularly seem to forget is that 1 in 3 Boston households do not own a car. That’s hundreds of thousands of voters who could not care less about parking – but they do care about the throngs of out-of-town drivers who delay their buses and cause violent crashes”

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Editorial: Bike Lane Hating Politicians Keep On Losing - As it turns out, a considerable number of informed voters understand that if we actually want less traffic, we need to design streets that favor more efficient modes of transportation. #mapoli mass.streetsblog.org/2025/11/05/e...

okay, that's good

Worth clicking through!

Why did the attacks on Mamdani’s socialism fail? A key reason: He made clear he was a “sewer socialist,” a forgotten American tradition created by left-wing mayors who asked to be judged not by theories but by whether they deliver public services effectively & fairly. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/o...

Astoria is overflowing with Mamdani supporters as he clinches a historic win, read out first draft of that history at @thecity.nyc www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/04/m...

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

Cuomo’s next comeback attempt: Staten Island BP

Write-ins beating Adams w 15% reporting 🤡

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

More impressive than Hudson and Essex posting 3:1 and 4:1 margins for the Dems, Sherrill is leading (35% in) in Monmouth County. And if the GOP is struggling to hang onto the Shore, there’s a think piece to be had in that.

And now a call for New Jersey already. Running against Trump works, it turns out

Virginia Democrats have flipped back the governorship. And this likely means they'll control the state government for the next two years, as things look to be going their way in the state House. That's the gain of a trifecta.

Polls close at 9 p.m. Let's bring this election home for all 18 of our endorsees. If you've already cast your vote, THANK YOU, and if you've yet to make it to the polls, you can confirm your site at vote.nyc. For one last look at our Voter Guide, please visit www.streetspac.org/election_day....

From March, @dmey.bsky.social reviewed Andrew Cuomo's track record on livable streets and transportation from when he was Governor. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/03/f...

For the close-to-last-minute voters among us, here's Streetsblog's 2025 election coverage roundup 🧵

We won our lawsuit against the federal government for trying to force states to comply with its immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for transportation. This is a major victory to protect our communities and vital infrastructure.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

Dr. Arline Bronzaft was working on this op-ed as part of our "Car Harms" series earlier this year when she took ill. She died on Oct. 29. We are publishing it posthumously as a tribute to her decades of service to New York City and her lifetime of work on noise pollution.

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”

Andrew Cuomo has been endorsed by the Chambers Street subway station.

Hilarious. What a way to end one of the worst campaigns in American political history. bsky.app/profile/meid...

In Queens, we've endorsed three candidates for City Council: Ben Chou, who's challenging an anti-safe streets incumbent in the 19th District, and @voteshekar.bsky.social and Julie Won, both of whom are running for re-election on strong track records. More here: www.streetspac.org/2025_nyc_gen...

One of my low-key favorite parts of the Mamdani campaign is that he walks around the city. People who love cities walk around their cities, but few political candidates do so.
