Last week, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social said Cuomo’s jacket should show all his Trump billionaire donors like sponsor logos. So I built a website that does exactly that! votecuomo.com

Deeply ashamed of @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social for going on WNYC and suggesting he may be a "supporter of global jihad" and declining to answer whether she thinks he's a support of Hamas

As he wrapped up his speech, Brad Lander again congratulated Mamdani, whom he cross-endorsed. And Lander, who is Jewish, declared, “We are not going to let anyone divide Muslim New Yorkers and Jewish New Yorkers.”

The Working Families Party — which just days ago ranked Jessica Ramos as its No. 5 pick as part of an anti-Cuomo slate — calls her Cuomo endorsement "sad" and "desperate."

The party won't immediately say, tho, whether it's removing Ramos from its slate. www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/06/j...

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.
