Hey, New Yorkers. Are you familiar with the City Charter proposals that will be on the November ballot? You may regret not learning a little about them. Samuel Kramnick's substack is an invaluable resource when city politics need close attention. samuelkramnick.substack.com/p/the-big-ug...

NY state Dem chair Jay Jacobs has just announced that he refuses to support NYC Dem primary voters' overwhelming choice for mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Since Jacobs doesn't consider this a reason to resign, Governor Kathy Hochul MUST demand he quit. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/n...

Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen has endorsed Dem voters' overwhelming choice for NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, with some pointed criticism of (supposed Dem) NY pols who refuse to endorse him while denying they are refusing to endorse. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

I first fought alongside Jerry Nadler when we took on a corrupt bankruptcy system that was rigged against working families. When New Yorkers needed a champion, Nadler always had their backs. He’s a man of principle, and I’m deeply grateful for his years of public service.

This is among the most fanciful, delusional political coverage I've seen in the last several months. More accurate would be this: In Virginia, Democrats and Republicans agree that expansion of Manhattan's 34th Street bus corridor is not an important issue for them. www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

It appears this Aakash Singh worked for Sen. Tillis and is a 2017 law grad. He needs to be infamous.

"I don't think we've withheld an endorsement [of Zohran Mamdani]," says Hakeem Jeffries. "We've gotta figure out, moving forward, how we turn proposals into actual plans so that he is successful if he becomes the next mayor"

Ironically good news! Let's hope Adams continues to hang in there against all odds, keeping the anti-Mamdani total divided. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/n...

Dan Goldman lacked the moral center to stand up for a Columbia student, a soccer coach and a makeup artist that were abducted by Trump's goon squads. He's the last person that should be telling others how to speak out against hate.

Unsurprising. Mamdani has made it clear that he's against Zionist Israel's genocide, so of course Goldman won't endorse him. www.trackaipac.com/states/newyo...

Cuomo helped form the IDC, a group of rogue Democratic state senators who sided with Republicans year after year to keep loopholes in NY’s rent stabilization laws. The result: tens of thousands of rent stabilized units were eliminated. www.politico.com/states/new-y...

Cuomo is the last person who can make this criticism. He’s substantially richer than Mandani! he was paid millions for a book deal! He pays for an $8242 two-bedroom on East 54th St in Manhattan so he can run for mayor even though he hasn’t actually lived in the city for 20 years!

Developers are trying to steal Greenwich Village's Dapolito Rec Center without a shred of input from the community. Guaranteed, next on their list is the Hudson Park branch library. Nothing public is safe from yimby. p2a.co/vqbriyt

“I think this campaign has really shown us something we have known for a while,” said Mr. Sadoff, who is Jewish and works as a bike mechanic in Manhattan. “There are a million Jewish New Yorkers who have wide-ranging opinions on all kinds of issues.”

The White House landscape now matches our national political one.

Canceling the results of your party'y primary is now a Democratic leadership option? Shouldn't we substitute the word AIPAC for "the Jewish community?" 'Hakeem Jeffries Sets Conditions for Endorsing Mamdani,' per Taegan Goddard's PoliticalWire, 14 July 2025 at 9aET punchbowl.news/archive/7142...

NJ Rep Mendendez: "ICE brought 20 armed guards to intimidate the mayor. The president lied when he said ICE is going after criminals. ICE feels no weight of the law. They feel no restraint on what they should be doing. We saw that in broad daylight as they put their hands on 2 congresswomen."

www.villagepreservation.org Sorry to be posting this too late for at least one event. This energetic organization does endless good.

Hand to hand combat seems to invigorate Kathy Hochul. If the WH insists on dumping NY's already-underway wind energy project, why not invite Ottawa to substitute and invest as NY's development partner? Don't we get energy from Canada? Who knows where that could go? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/n...

Nothing on Huchul-Adams? I reluctantly think she acted wisely with the primary so near, esp if she can control rest of his term tightly as proposed. Ousting him would have enraged his base to no good end. Lawrence O"Donnell had informative segment Thursday, 20 Feb.
