A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

The United States Government should reimburse every American for the taxes we paid during the shutdown, the time the government failed to work for us !!

Republicans have officially caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Folks aren’t getting paid, families are wondering if they'll have food on the table — and now they’re closing off airspace right before the holidays. (1/2)

Other huge victories from last night's elections:

-PA Dems defended their 5-2 Supreme Court majority
-GA Dems flipped two GOP-held seats on the state utility commission
-CO approved a ballot measure to fund universal school meals

America's Sleeping Giant has awakened.

Longest. Shutdown. In. History.

Thanks, Republicans.

Mamdani announces transition team:

All-female team led by Elana Leopold, a known Dem strategist; also Melanie Hartzog, who once led the NYC’s health and human services and budget offices; former dep mayor Maria Torres-Springer, and Lina Khan, the former FTC commissioner who campaigned with Mamdani

Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering."

"Best 10 months?" Where?

Way more.

Lina Khan to co-chair NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's transition team | TechCrunch Khan's appointment sends a message to the tech industry, whose most powerful players have already been critical of Mamdani, a Democratic socialist.

time for the exododus now i guess

Republicans aren’t happy. (Very strong language warning).

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Watch @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring victory speech.

This is the future the Democratic Party must embrace.

Turn the volume up.

They will try.

Tonight is good reminder that Democrats need to primary the shit out of disgraceful fraudulent traitor John Fetterman and get that piece of shit out of office for good.

this is exactly the speech dem leaders should have been giving for the last 10 months instead of voting in his cabinet and judges

Trump's economy is a failure. It demonstrates his commitment to greed and grift rather than the well-being of our country. While billions are sent to Argentina and opulent parties are thrown, American families suffer.

I urge the U.S. Supreme Court to stand up for the rule of law.

Any word on what channel Alan Dershowitz will be appearing on tonight?

Raskin: "South Korea gave him some kind of golden crown or something, and then he lowered their tariffs. That is a monarchist mercantilism, that is not the American system."

Trump would rather let 42 million families, including families like Micah's, go hungry than follow the law and work with Congress to reopen the government.

This cruelty and chaos from this administration isn't just the strategy, it's the point.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.

She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.
