Ignoring New York’s housing crisis, despite your own comptroller sounding the alarm, is negligent.

The REST Act would make it easier for municipalities outside NYC to adopt rent stabilization. And yet it sits.

Why? Ask the real estate lobbyists. www.osc.ny.gov/press/releas...

I’m proud to have the endorsement of Communities Voices Heard Power. They’ve never stopped fighting for tenants and working families, and as governor I’ll do the same: investing in public housing, enforcing Good Cause Eviction, and passing the REST Act so families can stay in their communities.

Remember it’s not just the two white protesters who have been killed or injured by ICE. #BlackandBrownLivesMatter

Do Democratic leadership believe that being passive will gain votes in the midterms? Why would they think that when it’s preposterous? #ImpeachMAGA

Good

Yeah, I paid for League Pass and it’s a ripoff since it doesn’t include so many games! 🤬🤬🤬

Imperialism = War for Oil 😢

A Mayor that appoints @ceaweaver.bsky.social to protect tenants is 💯! #MamdaniDayOne #HousingIsAHumanRight

David Johansson called me over to the bar at Tramps, took off my glasses, cleaned them on his shirt tail and put them back on my head.

The old ladies seem to wake up before everyone on the block to shovel!

The same people who think a 9/11 first responder and 31-year FDNY veteran is unqualified to be FDNY commissioner also seem to think that the Fox and Friends guy is perfectly suited to run the Pentagon.

New Yorkers Back Mamdani’s Push for Free Child Care, Poll Shows A Siena University poll showed that voters support having wealthy New Yorkers pay more in taxes to fund child care statewide, and favored Gov. Kathy Hochul in next year’s election.

In New York, nearly two in three voters across the state favor Zohran Mamdani's promise to provide universal government-funded child care and would support the mayor-elect's plan to pay for it by increasing taxes on those earning more than $1 million a year, a new poll found.

I believe they are trying to narrow it down to two centrist candidates, Conley and Davidson. But the voters will decide, not the DCCC (formerly led by SPM, the centrist who first lost to Lawler).

It’s going to be hard to eat dinner with fingers crossed for the election results! Polls still open in New York! #VoteWFP @nywfp.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide

A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position

This is what white supremacy looks like

If Reagan did it, why not! These guys are smarter.

Earlier this morning, Axios reported that Gov. Hochul plans to axe New Yorkers’ healthcare as a result of July’s Federal Budget Scam. Below is a response from Erica Vladimer, Communications Coordinator for the Invest In Our New York Campaign: “New York’s Congressional Republican delegation happily voted to make New Yorkers sicker by cutting billions from our healthcare, forcing state leaders to step in and deal with the aftermath. Unfortunately, Governor Hochul’s claim to stand up for New York’s families falls short as she chooses to axe their healthcare. Instead, Governor Hochul can raise the necessary public dollars to protect healthcare access by raising taxes on New York’s millionaires and billionaires. Anything less is just going along with Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.”

Welp, @governor.ny.gov is on board with Trump & Congressional Republicans' efforts to make NY sicker. @axios.com reported this morning that Hochul is scrapping expanded healthcare b/c of the Federal Budget Scam. www.axios.com/2025/09/10/n...

Our response (spoiler, she should #TaxTheRich instead)👇

The devastation in Gaza is unbearable. Entire families gone, neighborhoods erased, too often caused by bombs stamped Made in the USA.

That’s why I support @repdeliaramirez Block the Bombs Act. No more blank checks for war and US weapons fueling genocide. We must demand peace.

Ghislaine Maxwell absolves Trump, and everyone else, in DOJ interviews “I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age,”

Ghislaine Maxwell from her prison cell: I never saw Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, or literally any man do anything inappropriate ever.
She was literally convicted for facilitating this exact thing.

Journalism and politics in an autocratic era Steve Schmidt and I on how to meet this moment

Terry Moran knows better than anyone that the corporate control of the newsroom is failing to meet the demands of this moment. open.substack.com/pub/terrymor...

After months of hand-wringing and finger-pointing, Democrats are still learning how to navigate a political landscape dominated by Donald Trump’s Republican Party. With Democrats locked out of power in Washington, the burden has shifted to the state and local levels to prove that we can govern. If you listen to Gov. Kathy Hochul, you’d think there’s nothing New York can do to fight back. Consider her response to Republicans slashing Medicaid and SNAP: “No state can backfill the massive cuts.” It’s simply not true that New York can’t afford to protect our most vulnerable citizens.

The same dynamic is playing out on immigration. Ms. Hochul bemoans the fact that “renegade counties” throughout New York are cooperating with ICE on immigration enforcement — all the while pretending that there’s no mechanism to stop it. Right now, ICE is deputizing police officers across our state to carry out immigration raids. The New York for All Act would end this practice, but the governor won’t commit to supporting it.

In New York, the legislature is not currently in its regular annual session. But the governor has the constitutional authority to call a special session and work with Democrats to pass legislation that makes up for draconian budget cuts and protects our immigrant communities. That should happen now.

Our state, if an independent country, would be the ninth-largest economy in the world. We also have the largest wealth inequality gap of any state. The money is there, but the political will is missing. There are serious policy options out there, but Ms. Hochul has ruled out raising taxes on the ultrawealthy and big corporations. The Invest in Our New York campaign includes a series of revenue proposals that could raise tens of billions of dollars annually. Democratic leaders should be putting ideas like these on the table, including an overhaul of the over $10 billion we give away annually through so-called economic development incentives to select businesses with no real return on investment.

Lt. Gov Delgado is 🎯spot on🎯. NYS leaders can support the people they represent (and show the rest of the nation how it's done!)

We can reduce the impact of the Federal Budget Scam RIGHT NOW during a special session where lawmakers #TaxTheRich, and pass #NY4All & #DignityNotDetention Acts.
