Same! I was googling and then frustrated I couldn't find it!

Which NYC pols do you recommend be prioritized for pressure to call for Schumer's removal as minority leader?

Safe, recently elected progressives (Williams, Osse) or those likely to lose their primary (Goldman)?

It seems we need the dam to break with some early statements.

A basic litmus test for New York's Democratic politicians is whether they will publicly call for Chuck Schumer to step down as minority leader.

I think there's a value in local Democratic clubs calling for him to step down as minority leader if he can't get his caucus to hold the line.

I know I'll be raising the topic with mine.

This is one of those moments when someone on Dan Goldman's staff needs to explain to him that he needs to spend some of that TV lawyer capital and name names: Gillibrand and Schumer are selling out their constituents.

I've had a good experience getting involved in my local democratic club. Committee members do come to meetings to ask for endorsement. The meetings present the opportunity to raise these issues so your neighbors hear them too.

State Committee Members The New York State Democratic Party is committed to ensuring that New Yorkers have progressive, fair, and dedicated leadership at every level of government.

One avenue is the state committee. People can ask their local committee members if they support his removal.

The problem is, when there was a vote of no confidence on hisl leadership in Nov. 2021, something like 80% of the committee members voted it down.

The searing anti-endorsement came amid swirling rumors that Jacobs would resign after Hochul jumped on the Mamdani bandwagon Sunday evening — furthering the highly unusual divide between a sitting governor and their party’s chair over who should be the city’s next mayor. Sources said Jacobs — who also serves as the Dems’ chair in Nassau County, where the party has been hemorrhaging support and Mamdani is unpopular — was furious over Hochul’s endorsement and likely would head for the exit. “She’s putting him in a bad situation,” said a party official, who asked not to be named. “The governor is trying to get him to stay on, but he’s saying he’s not going step back and be for this guy who is against Jews. “How does Jay Jacobs win in Nassau County? You’re almost going to force him to resign,” the source fumed. “Do you stay a state chairman or lose your local party? And how does the state chairman not endorse the largest city’s Democratic pick?” One source close to the situation said Hochul was trying to talk Jacobs off the ledge, but the damage was done.

I was promised that Jay Jacobs would resign.

I like Harnik's because it includes George Washington watching the scene from the left.

Gordon Sondland Returns To Impeachment Inquiry As A Key Witness With An Updated Story The U.S. ambassador to the EU will give much-anticipated public testimony Wednesday in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump. His story has changed since he first testified last month.

His Wikipedia entry could be reduced to a single word: "Liar".

This is the caliber of expert trotted out to inform the public.

Canvassing played a part in my decision to vote no.

In 2024 I spent every weekend in PA canvassing for Harris. I'd have probably done the same if the mayorals were the same year, which would mean I (and probably many) would not be helping GOTV locally.

As a dual-citizen Italian-American I recognize Andrew Cuomo's gutter racism as an extension of the same racism my family faced after arriving in the U.S.

I just called Senators Gillibrand (212/688-6262) and Schumer (212/486-4430) to ask if they also question dual-citizens' loyalty to the U.S.

Cost of annual travel for Ile de France: about $1,250

Cost of annual travel across Rome: $290

This! I can have unlimited travel across Ile de France, an area from Poughkeepsie to Atlantic City, for about $1,250/year.

In Rome, unlimited travel across the city costs ~$290/year.

Low-cost passes are a game changer.

Democracy is very much not served by far fewer people voting.

Nor is democracy served by the current organizational structure of the BOE, or the role consultants and media buys play in our elections. But these are the parameters around which New Yorkers have organized their elections.

I heard a very convincing argument about this at a local political meeting. Not just for ad buys, but for staff and talent.

In addition, there's the question of administrative capacity: the BOE having to staff up and down cyclically. Not entirely a good idea.

To me, the fact that he can't state loudly and clearly that Andrew Cuomo's prior behavior is disqualifying tells us everything we need to know about Dan Goldman's character.

Dan Goldman, TV Lawyer, can't make a declarative statement that serial sexual harassment is disqualifying for public office.

Oct. 17 tweet from Andrew Cuomo: "If you don't want National Guard tanks rolling down 5th avenue in January, there's one choice this November and that's me."

How is this not a veiled threat: "Vote for me or my pal will send in the goons"

I don't see how this isn't disqualifying for an officer of the court.

What a fantastic and effective message. It centers the humanity of trans New Yorkers, it reminds us of the debt we owe for not adequately supporting those that came before us, and clearly identifies steps we can take in the short term to provide that support to current and future generations.

I wrote to tell them what I thought of it and asked them how they squared the decision to honor her with her defunding of public broadcasting.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”
