After a deadly weekend of three car crash deaths, today we're in court fighting Mayor Adams' attempt to rip up safety improvements on Bedford.

The Department of Transportation warns: β€œThe City risks legal liability for knowingly reducing safety on a Vision Zero priority corridor.”

β€˜Money vs. democracy’: Hanif and supporters accuse Uber of election interference β€’ Brooklyn Paper Rideshare drivers, delivery workers, labor activists and local Democrats rallied May 28 in Kensington with City Council Member Shahana Hanif, who accused Uber

Because @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is standing up for workers and fighting for things like paid sick leave, Uber is backing her opponent with over $129,000 in mail and digital ad spending. If you live in District 39 in Brooklyn, please vote for Shahana Hanif. Let's keep big money out of politics.

Andrew Cuomo won’t talk to the families of nursing home victims.

He won’t ride the subway or take a bus.

He spends most of each week in hiding.

But he will *beg* for a meeting with a 94-year-old right-wing Australian billionaire.

An orange and white cat sits impatiently. Making you earn his love

the main thing I've never understood about politics is the misplaced loyalty. did you know that if a person you voted for does something dumb or bad, you can simply opt not to defend them? it is very easy.

be mercurial, like a cat who hasn't been fed in 20 min. make these people earn your love

We now need the House to act on this. You need to call your Rep, ESPECIALLY if they're GOP. Don't tell me it won't do any good. Don't concede the fight in advance. Just fucjin call their office and leave a quick voice mail saying you want the tariffs gone.

The great part about calling for tangible bills to pass is Adrienne Adams has no response. She can call Intro 909 up for a vote any date.

Cuomo distances himself from the state-run MTA Cuomo's stance also represents a stark departure from his embrace of the system just a few months back.

Yes the sex pest stuff. Yes the nursing home deaths. Yes the sloppy nonstop venality. But I cannot get past this. The up-yours brazen incompetence on core government administration www.politico.com/states/new-y...

"move away from the dominance of small dollar donations" ie ignore the actual base of the party for the suits and donors, everyone should call their Dems demanding the names of whoever wrote this and when those party resignations will be released to the public

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Trump Administration Moves to End New York’s Congestion Pricing Tolls President Trump had raised concerns that the new tolling program, the first of its kind in America, was drawing visitors and businesses away from Manhattan.

For some in positions of power, the greatest fear isn't that a major policy might fail, but that it might prove wildly successful. Today's move to halt congestion pricing says nothing about transportation or economicsβ€”but everything about the people who oversee them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/n...

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, itΒ isΒ hereby ordered: Section 1.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a β€œdire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

And I’ll repeat it - removing corrupt politicians is a very good precedent. Democrats should not hesitate.

An elected official should be *above* reproach. Period.
