I’d rather be playing with the baby or on my bike. I oversee the largest utility building electrification program in the US. We should build more homes, here, there, everywhere. Yes, I watched that Knicks game.

Accomplished something important today, traded baby pics and convinced a friend to vote yes on ballot proposal 5. @yesonaffhousing.bsky.social

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.
Closing Indian Point drove up emissions downstate. Brilliant. Definitely want to brag about this legacy. Cuomo interest group politics leading to bad results.
Cuomo championed and won another prize environmentalist wish-list items including closure of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in the Hudson Valley and blocking gas pipelines. 6/
What a closing message for Cuomo in NYC in 2025: Endorsed by Trump and OJ
Hahaha. I cannot see this truck with thinking back to 1994. And watching Knicks-Rockets at my buddy Jason’s place.
Andrew Cuomo being driven around at low speeds in a white Bronco seems fitting for this great respecter of women. Where did he even find a white Bronco in NYC?
Voted early on Saturday. I got a little emotional at the ballot proposals. It was a thrill to vote directly for more housing and more affordable housing. Thank you to everyone who got us here. And let’s do it again. So vote yes on all of those ballot measures, NYC.
OG is my favorite Knick.
Don't see this every day. OG Anunoby elbows Kevin Huerter, stops to see if he's okay, then dunks it
But, also, the Juve game was deeply frustrating. ATA was outplayed badly most of 1H. Sorta lucky lead thanks to great Sulemana effort and goal. And then played far too low a block in 2H, invited too many crosses and then gave up slop goal. That one was a LOT about coaching.

No-show in Paris.
Yeah, the best argument for Juric’s system working is that in 5-of-6 draws (all but Juve) Atalanta has had the better xG.
He took on an impossible job, following Gasperini, however Atalanta is the only undefeated squad in Serie A. Tonight’s match against Cremonese was pretty ugly but I think it was more player performance than the coaching

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
All of this. Yes on 2, 3 and 4 for more housing in NYC.
"no one should make a profit building necessary housing" is one of those things that sounds based and radical... for like half a second, before you finish thinking it through
I’m learning to speak Croatian. Do I have this right that Ivan Juric means “disappointing draw”? Or is it “fired before Christmas”? #Atalanta

The priorities for the next American Constitution are doing away with the Senate, the Electoral College and single-member House districts. But equally important is eliminating the extremely aberrant and patently undemocratic way we do judicial review.
The dominance of gambling over all U.S. professional sports is another major social pathology created by... wait for it... the Supreme Court!

Just like widespread bribery of politicians (McDonnell v. US), money in politics (Citizens United v Holder and others), lawless presidents (Trump v. US).

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
Seems corrupt. Here me out. maybe we should have a non-corrupt president.
Donald Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Binance has been a major supporter of Trump's crypto projects, and Trump has already made millions after Binance accepted a $2 billion investment from an Emirati fund denominated in the Trump family's USD1 stablecoin.

Breaking News: Mayor Eric Adams will endorse Andrew Cuomo for mayor of New York City to try to stop the momentum of Zohran Mamdani. nyti.ms/4nfliHv
Yes, but with those fitness standards … it’s less scary.
ICE is Trump’s domestic military. Mark my words. When it is time for this man to leave and he doesn't want to because, he wants to enjoy his new ballroom, ICE is going to be the military he uses against citizens who dissent because they will obey an unlawful order.
Now they will lower the standards. Watch.

Trump clocks in at 37%-61% in new AP-NORC poll. It’s the worst poll of his rancid 2nd term. Happy No Kings Day!

Voting yes on questions 2–4 will give Mayor Mamdani the power to override NIMBY council members to build affordable housing in every neighborhood!
“I will build 200,000 units of affordable housing… and I’m going to make it easier for the private sector to build housing, because what we see today is it’s not labor, it’s not materials—it’s the wait that is actually costing so many so much to build the housing we need” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

We're in an unprecedented housing shortage. We need more affordable housing in every neighborhood of NYC.

If you're not voting for Curtis Sliwa, you should vote @YesOnAffHousing.bsky.social Props 2-5!
GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa says he opposes City of Yes and ballot props 2-5, which he says will "take away your homes and provide you with lithium ion batteries, which are like mini-Chernobyls"

Fact check: False. They won't do that, but they will make your rent more affordable.
Learned some things. But it’s bad. See you at #NoKings on Saturday.
Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

This is a great factcheck on the DHS sizzle videos of them rounding up immigrants: they are leaving a lot of context out.
here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.
This is bad. Propane is a legal refrigerant in Europe and Asia. Should be here too. Calling ASHRAE the regulator, is the problem. They’re really an industry org, but government outsourced regulatory and certification standards to it. Right?
The sheer arrogance of these industry regulator bodies who think it's reasonable for them to slow-walk "research" on a technology that's safely and widely used in the rest of the world for an entire decade

Miller and Trump’s secret police. Make it stop.
Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.
