My take: I think this isn’t a sign that he’s going to get a cushy job somewhere, I think his campaign’s flat out broke

So, the New York Times totally told Bloomberg that, after the comment section got out of control, they couldn’t publish another column like Ezra’s from last week, and he decided to self-publish it instead. Right?

I gotta give them props, the opening to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was pretty good. 👇

This week, I was out w/Manhattan District Leaders. The East Side DLs had either never met or only briefly interacted with Lasher, while the West Side DLs knew Bores well and liked him, even if they planned to support Lasher later. This aligns with my experience with voters on both sides of the park.

Not a Democrat Not Trans Not Gay They are eating themselves

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

In a shocking turn of events, all 3 escalators are up and running at the 72nd St Q Station for the first time maybe ever.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

As a lifelong Yankee fan: Fuck Mark Teixeira.

This is actually horrifying @nytimes.com. We CAN prevent it. And the fact that you and the gun lobby seem to do everything in your power to keep weapons of war on our streets instead of protecting people is beyond fucked.

Janno Lieber is a legend.

If you're a complete nerd, like me, and you want to see an Election District by Election District breakdown of the RCV vote transfer @sromalewski.bsky.social and @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social have it here. This is flat out incredible to look through.

I think it’s important to note that in Manhattan it’s a “reform party” meaning it’s bottom up, not top down. Today, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social came to speak to the District Leaders and we held a vote. Our County Leader doesn’t make decisions for us. ~70 people held a lively discussion first!

In Manhattan, District Leaders had the chance to hear Mamdani in person tonight, discuss the endorsement together, and then vote, rather than having a single person decide. We have a Reform Party in Manhattan, so our chair may make his own personal endorsements, but not on behalf of the Party.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Our 100% volunteer team from @fourfreedomsnyc.bsky.social, talked to thousands of voters. Campaigns that prioritize voters and community achieve results like this. We're proud of our team- @akselben.bsky.social won nearly every ED in the district, combined we secured 80%+ of the overall vote.

I appreciate @nytimes.com reporting on the obscene amounts of PAC spending in this race but maybe they could have mentioned this new one advertising on their site, run by fmr Congress Member Carolyn Maloney's COS that has not filed a single disclosure with the CFB... www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/n...

Someone asked @rswinnyc.bsky.social today if she had any recent photos from early voting, and she responded, "Sorry! I’m too busy talking to voters to remember to take pictures." That's the correct answer, and that's why she and @akselben.bsky.social are my candidates for District Leader!

This is going to cause absolute insanity….

🗳️ Help us win in June! I'm running for re-election as District Leader with @akselben.bsky.social. We need more volunteers for early voting & Election Day. Join the @fourfreedomsnyc.bsky.social team - every shift matters! Sign up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #DistrictLeader #FFDC #NYC

It’s definitely summer again in NYC… as we fall asleep to the sound of a dozen or so dirt bikes and ATVs rushing up 1st Ave…

How is it that no stores in The City Of New York open until 10 AM? I’m not sure how anyone expects a parent to get anything done with a child. There’s like four hours between when our kids wake up and when anything opens.

Omg NYC comptroller (and mayoral candidate) Brad Lander is at the #MetGala and his daughter is honoring union labor!😭 ILGWU is a common sight for anyone who loves vintage clothing.

The federal government’s case against NYC’s congestion pricing is honestly baffling. Legally weak, politically shortsighted, and weirdly self-defeating. Even their court filings are a complete own goal. A quick update: (1/6)

I feel like I just watch people being loaded into cattle cars and transported into Poland…. I feel ill, every one of the people involved in this should be put on trial in an international tribunal.

Just answered the phone and was lucky enough to participate in the latest Sienna poll. I'm really looking forward to seeing the results about the NYC mayoral election in a few days! 😊

Tomorrow, we expect Trump is going to sign an Executive Order claiming to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education. Reminder: Trump does not have the legal authority to destroy a cabinet department; reporting on the EO as if he does have that power is both inaccurate and unethical.

Turns out that when Biden released alllllmost all of the JFK documents back in 2022, there were good reasons to hold back some stuff...

Have we learned nothing from 5 years of health and safety protocols and protecting our loved ones from the worst sicknesses of our time? AND in the middle of a measles outbreak??? If someone wants to cover their face while committing a crime, they will find a way that isn't a medical mask.

Putin just bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure hours after he promised Trump he would halt attacks on their energy grid.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Vaccines. Save. Lives. Period.

These clipboard conversations are democracy at its most direct! While petitioning, I'm turning CR vote frustration into meaningful engagement. My latest explores how we can use these next two weeks of signature gathering to rebuild trust and amplify our grassroots voice.

Anyway, if you see people with clipboards in NYC over the next few weeks, they’re likely gathering signatures to help candidates get on the ballot. Be nice and consider signing (if it’s the right party sheet!).

Today, while collecting signatures to get on the ballot, I had a few inspiring interactions. It's vital to share these moments, especially in today's discouraging political climate, and to emphasize the importance of directly engaging with our neighbors instead of relying on paid petitioners.

I’ve been out petitioning to get on the ballot for 2+ weeks, and I’ve never had so many of my neighbors ask the same question— when is Sen. Schumer’s term up, and what can we do about this?— I’m running for a hyper-local, unpaid volunteer position, but man am I excited to see people getting engaged!

Second attempt: The local NBC news affiliate did a story about how the Trump tarrifs are affecting food prices by going to my favorite produce stand and the store is playing the video on a loop to explain increased prices 💀

The problem is, it's not ten years we have to worry about. It's ten months. They're so myopic i can't even grasp it

Don’t you goddamn dare @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social

even if Senate Dems ultimately deny cloture the fact that this was apparently a very hard choice for them is damning. you should not have to think about whether to use your only immediate point of leverage to derail the rapid, ongoing, systematic destruction of the federal government

If you’re posting “happy international women’s day” but you voted against our rights and autonomy, then you can just fuck right off.

I can't seem to find out how many Americans watched the SOTU live last night (I wasn't one of them). Does the media simply not want to admit it had very poor numbers? I'm genuinely curious.
