Works, too.

What a time to be living in...

Five years ago I thought Cuomo was effectively the undisputed King of New York, and now the @nytimes.com is effectively comparing him to expired bread. #Election2025

Oh god, Grok is trying to revive the Independence Party 😭
(As an aside, this is a very real reason not to blindly trust AI chatbots because this is WILDLY incorrect)

I've seen enough: The city of Albany — chartered in 1686, the capital of New York since 1797 — has elected its first Black mayor, Dorcey Applyrs. Photo by the Times Union's Lori Van Buren.

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

The thing is if you don’t deal with the complexities of the IDC and Cuomo’s seven (!!) years of support for it, you’re also dodging or ignoring facts. It is *the* story of most of Cuomo’s time in office, and how he was able to abuse state power to run the MTA into the ground, for example.

Today-Trump and Musk endorsed Cuomo-Cuomo is the candidate of the billionaires. Mamdani is fighting for affordability for all of us-particularly working families. I disagree with ZM on Israel but I want a Mayor who fights for the strugglers & strivers- not for those who are taking away our freedoms

I don't see how any Republican watching this debate is going to decide that they are going to vote for Andrew Cuomo given how Curtis Sliwa is performing. #nycdebate

Cuomo just clarified that he meant ONLY the last four years because of Hochul, a person he only minutes ago said he could work well with because he had picked her as his LG (though tried to ditch her at least twice)

the islamophobia being flung at zohran by the other candidates while the moderators just allow it…it’s fucking disgusting

And grocery prices continue to rise….

Sinclair Won’t Air Jimmy Kimmel’s Return on Its 38 ABC Stations The preemption means that 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will remain unavailable for some of the U.S. despite its return after a nearly week-long suspension.

This means 13WHAM in Rochester won’t air the show. Sinclair needs FCC approval to acquire more stations.

A look back at the New York City Central Labor Council’s Labor Day Parade, held Sept. 6. Thanks to everyone who came out and marched with us and thanks to every member of this union for your support!

Again, worth pointing out that Andrew Cuomo was directly in charge of the MTA for 10 years, and he could have done this at any time during those 10 years. He didn't. Why should we believe he'll do it now?

Guess the @nypost.com will just throw whatever they can scavenge about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social out there just to see what actually sticks...

What's happening to Stephen Colbert IS cancel culture. 1st of its kind.

In lieu of New York's bell to bell cell phone ban, I think the state should instead invest in making all public schools Faraday cages

Who would have thought that the first cracks in the MAGA coalition would have come from disappointed Epstein conspiracy theorists... and not any sort of government policy.

This is not an India Walton situation. Sure, there are some loser hater holdouts. But there is no lock on keeping Mamdani down. He’s got the DNC, the Manhattan Dems, the comptroller, the AG, the dean of the NYS congressional delegation, NY mag, the unions &—most importantly—the voters.

Editorial: Islamophobic attacks will get someone killed Republican rhetoric aimed at Zohran Mamdani is ugly and racist, even by today's debased standards.

“Desperate for attention, these people are cracking open the old nativist playbook. It hearkens back to the days when the Ku Klux Klan and other troglodytes denounced New York Gov. Al Smith as a Catholic who if elected in 1928 would let the Pope set the agenda for the White House.”

FYI - we mapped the collapse of Cuomo’s base, comparing his 2018 gubernatorial primary with 2025. Not 100% apples-to-apples, but the shift is striking: bsky.app/profile/srom...

A big betrayal The ‘big, beautiful bill’ would make millions of Americans sicker and poorer.

Less food. Less care. Less opportunity.
All to give more to the ultra-wealthy.
This bill is a betrayal of American families—and we must stop it.
I wrote about how House Republicans are trying to ram it through budget reconciliation in my latest column:

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

We recently took a walk through the downtown Albany parking lots designated for PEF members who work for the State with Region 8 Coordinator Danielle Bridger. Our “Parking Lot Safety” series begins today, showcasing four ways members should be prepared as they walk from their car to their office.

If we had a functioning Congress and FTC, Google would be required to provide a functioning reference implementation of all systems and components needed to maintain the functionality the device is marketed to have, under a permissive open source license.

Please join us on Monday, April 28, for a brief ceremony at the memorial outside PEF headquarters in Latham, N.Y. at 11 a.m. All members are welcome to join!

recent polling is just a total repudiation of the idea that full spectrum opposition to trump across every area was/is a bad idea

The White House has begun process of looking for new secretary of defense The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Dem leaders and operatives saying “focus on pocketbook issues,” completely miss that due process *is* a pocketbook issue.

Tourists, students, investors, citizens all depend on rule of law.

Just because lawlessness is state-sponsored, doesn’t mean it ain’t crime, and crime is bad for the economy.
