This is a short-sighted, rather knee-jerk take.
Did YOU visit a local food pantry over the wknd? I did. People JUST finding out their EBT cards weren't refilled were frightened, desperate.
I wish "progressives" would think before attacking & weakening ALLIES! Direct your ire where it belongs!

No amount of pandering will help FIFA clean up its image. And such obvious pandering to Trump is just pathetic.

Nope
Now fixed in public mind is the shutdown--using hunger & paychecks as political leverage--is Trump/Republicans fault, & Dems are fighting to REINSTATE middle class ACA tax credits GOP cut, to make tax cuts for RICH ppl permanent, causing HUGE ins hikes.
AND Trump SUED to keep from FEEDING KIDS!

The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free.
The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

I've ridden the subway with many electeds, including Bloomberg.
Had a great couple-a-NYers-on-the-subway chat w/ Mark Green long ago. Both on our way to a Dem candidates forum.
Came out of the subway to run into Mario Cuomo on the sidewalk. Had a good chat with him, too.
I love Love LOVE NYC!

Gov. Beshear: โThe president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.โ

Do YOU know the difference between Rent Control and Rent Stabilized? Mayor-elect Mamdani certainly does.
We need MORE rent stabilization, as well as more building. And Council probably needs to take up the issue of EMPTY commercial buildings and apts in luxury "ghost buildings."
I'm here for it.

Yep. Like generations of City residents we worked for decades to find a little cabin with a garden we could afford, to grow food for ourselves and our local soup kitchen, and escape the summer heat in our tiny, un-air conditioned apartment.
You gotta problem with that? Think we don't "deserve" it?

Then you should know better than to indulge in the FOX/Murdock/Cuomo shibboleth about who gets to have a rent stabilized apartment, and IF someone "deserves" one!

Big reason we rejected Cuomo. Not sexy enough for the political press.
We're all hoping Mamdani will unempower Real Estate millionaires who control too many of our electeds. We can all start showing up to public comment at Council meetings.

Trump perused fabric swatches as his empire burned, per 1990 ghostwriter.
It's all he cares about and defines the absolute zenith of his knowledge and ability--and that's not saying much. Trump has terrible taste. The worst.
And, he TORE DOWN part of OUR White House.
