Every year, DOE processes approx. 2,700 procurements. Yet many of these:

❌ Don't include feedback from educators
❌ Rely on legacy systems incompatible w/ other City agencies
❌ Overwhelm limited staff
❌ Are duplicative

As Mayor, I will transform this process in 3 key ways:

NYC Mayor’s Race: Mamdani unveils plan to root out ‘duplicative’ education spending at city’s public schools | amNewYork Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday rolled out a plan to overhaul how the city's Education Department inks contracts with

NYC’s Dept. of Education spends around $10 billion/year on contracts.

Many provide essential services to our schools, yet with over 3,000 active contracts, DOE faces major efficiency challenges.

DOE needs procurement reform.

Yesterday I announced my platform to deliver it.

This reaction would honestly prompt me to send them both back to the training. Intent doesnt actually matter.

Speaking of Paul Mooney, he had some 🔥 quotes... here's a couple.

"America has a rap sheet. You can't police the world and tell the world how to act when you're just as bad yourself."

"I have nothing to do with racism in America; it was here when I got here."

Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace She's bad at media, and even worse at law.

New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace

"After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

I wish Obama had tried to bulldoze the White House and build an opulent ballroom during a government shutdown.

Every Republican would’ve lit themselves on fire and we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today.

It would be great to see some level of support from NBA players to amplify this issue. Some of them show up at WNBA games, maybe its time to show up for them at NBA games too. WNBA has been too important & influential for the men of that league to allow them to be treated this way.

From ESPN's article about the state of CBA negotiations:

This double expansion draft is going to be an absolute mess!

I genuinely wonder how ideological purist and nazi tattoo became entangled in the same argument when they're about as close to each other as coney island and santa monica

People don't understand how HARD it is to be a mediocre white guy growing up in America.

Everywhere you go, there's just Nazi tattoos trying to get you. One time, I slipped on some ice and landed on a tattoo artist hidden in the bushes at the end of my driveway with an SS tattoo ready to go.

Popular unpopular opinion: the introduction of subscriptions for EVERYTHING was to get us used to the idea that we will never “own” anything outright ever again (cars, homes, insurance, etc.)

The best example of this is Black Mirror S7E1 “Common People”
(Might be the most depressing tv ever)

Democrats and independents:
we don’t have time to be fucking around with this shit!

Stop shielding racist candidates. It helps no one. Own the mistake, fix it, and move the hell on.

Every time you defend this kind of garbage, it just solidifies the narrative that you’re not actually for POC…

People are using GoFundMe for groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

Americans are fundraising for basic necessities, while the top 1% increased their wealth to $52 trillion.

This is what a rigged system designed by the wealthy looks like.

WNBA being too physical and the NBA being non-physical is an interesting place for professional basketball to be in

Will WNBA Salaries Keep Being Dragged Down by the NBA's Anchor? Let’s imagine you were looking for a job and you KNEW you were worth a million dollars per year.

Last June I argued that because WNBA salaries are so low now, the NBA will be making what appears to be a "substantial" offer that will still leave players far short of a 50% share of WNBA revenue.

Today Adam Silver did his best to confirm this story.

That man has a whole ass Nazi tattoo.

I’ve had “far left allies” in my mentions talking about the “Establishment” for over a week.

🗣️Black women keep trying to tell y’all that if it fucking walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s probably a fucking duck!

Some of y’all have learned NOTHING!

That was honestly really good defense by KD until the end and they gave SGA free throws for a foul that was on the ground

Just turned this game on and Im already mad at KD. He has no problem watching the team fall apart while he's on the court.
