Here's the press release:

19 new stations with connections to 17 subway lines and a runtime of 32 minutes across 14 miles. This truly is a game-changer. No word on estimated completion date. We are probably looking at 2032ish.

Thankfully Donald Trump can't bail him out of this one.

From the CFB meeting earlier today:

Bernie and Zohran laughing.

Bernie and Zohran smiling.

Bernie may be the great Senator from Vermont but he’s Brooklyn through and through.

An absolute honor to meet with one of my heroes and the champion for working people across our country, Bernie Sanders.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is the greatest comedic genius of our time

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening.

People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book.

Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

our socialist lifting chat told me that "hybrid athlete" is fascist-coded 🫠

Just did this for Garfield. Bluesky now a good place

cool to know that that was on the table apparently

one of the most persistent myths in punditry is that you can pull a coherent rationale out of the american voter. swing voters are, by and large, doing a surface level assessment of their current situation and giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys

✅pass laws
✅set regulations

Do what her constituents need, not fear the Fox News crowd.
