We have to fly next weekend to our niece’s wedding and I investigated getting travel insurance but it won’t cover anything related to the shutdown because it was a known event at the time of travel. Basically, Mike Johnson is a preexisting condition. I hope you get home smoothly tomorrow!

Taxi Drivers Savor Victory as Medallion Debt Bailout Deal Ends Hunger Strike Cabbies danced outside of City Hall, chanting β€œNo more suicides,” after the de Blasio administration agreed to restructure the crushing debt that’s devastated many taxi medallion owners. Some went hun...

In his victory speech, Zohran Mamdani shouts out Richard, a taxi driver he went on a hunger strike with.

β€œMy brother, we are in City Hall now,” he said.

Revisit the story from Nov. 2021, including Mamdami’s quote which is quite striking in this moment.

"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.

I couldn’t even bring myself to watch or listen to that piece of garbage. I’d say good riddance, but that man is like a cockroach.

A massive result: Maine voters have rejected Question 1, a ballot measure that would have restricted mail voting and put into place strict new voter ID requirements. This outcome was no sure thing heading into tonight. The measure’s failure preserves current voter access in Maine, as 2026 looms.

Mamdani!!!!! I have to be in NYC for an event tomorrow evening and right now I deeply regret not going a night early to dance in the streets of the city I called home for 20+ years and still deeply love.

Zohran Mamdani in a suit talks to a worker in a reflective vest near a taxi booth in an underground parking area. A woman in the background checks her phone.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign closed out the final nights before Election Day with visits to LaGuardia taxi lines, hospital night shifts, and late-night dinersβ€”meeting the workers who’ve powered his run for NYC mayor.

In part because we don’t get 2016 or 2024 without 2004.

Agreed. My birthday was the day after that election and I canceled a gathering because NO ONE I knew felt like celebrating, least of all me. This last election came close, but I think 2004 was still worse.

Ugh our niece’s wedding is in Indianapolis in 2 weeks, so if he could just do this right now and see what the response is real quick, that would be great.

We have seen SO MANY C*omo ads this World Series, and they are predictably horrible, but also…we can’t vote in NYC anymore. (My vote means so much more in the Hudson Valley than it did in NYC, but I am seriously bummed that I don’t get to vote for Mamdani to lead a city I still love so much.)
