Too lazy to fix but i didnt realize the northwest end of bedstuy isnt in jeffries’ district so it’s probably ~35%. That said its the least zohrany election districts which get cut out

Agree with your broader point but its silly to compare margins of victory when the nyc mayor race had a third party candidate get 40% of the vote

alpacalypz @alpacalypz.bsky.social · 4h

maybe, but gun to my head im guessing for every one of those you gain, you lose two bc your opponent is "Speaker Jefferies" not "disgraced Former Governor Cuomo"

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

ICE deported him anyways.

They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica.

Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.

What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?

He died a few weeks after deportation:

Trump is threatening the one thing Senators love doing most of all: never doing anything

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

screenshot from Politico article linked below:

"“If you don’t terminate the filibuster, you’ll be in bad shape,” he told them over breakfast in the State Dining Room.

It was classic Trump dominance theater, like many other occasions this year where he successfully muscled recalcitrant Republicans to confirm controversial nominees, support divisive policies and enact sweeping domestic policy legislation.

But upon returning to the Capitol, the senators made it very clear: They planned to blow Trump off. One GOP senator, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, laughed out loud when asked about the anti-filibuster push.

Welcome to the dawn of Trump’s lame duck era."

Decision Desk "calling" Seattle's mayor race is quite startling & premature.

Will Harrell win? Very plausible: I'd even rather be him at this stage! But not what calls are about.

About 60% has been counted. Gap is 5.7%. Wilson needs to win what's left by 9%; she won what was counted today by 3.5%.

Virginia's Senate Majority Leader confirms to Bolts that Virginia Democrats intend to move the constitutional amendment that'd allow for a mid-decade gerrymander in January.

Says it is “going to be one of the first orders of business."

LGA Terminal B sent an email last night to its tenant airlines (United, Air Canada, JetBlue, Southwest, etc) that basically says "hey if you know wtf is going on, let us know?"

Meetings between airlines and FAA didn't happen until *last night* for operational impacts starting *Friday*. Unreal.

This evening, the FAA formally announced a 10% reduction in air traffic across 40 "high-volume" markets beginning Friday morning, November 7, to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown. While specific airports have not yet been identified, the FAA has indicated they will be meeting with airlines tonight to determine implementation details.
Given the possibility that LGA may be among the affected airports, we kindly request that each airline share any available information regarding potential enplanement impacts at Terminal B.

LGP remains committed to working collaboratively with our airline partners to closely monitor enplanement activity, proactively manage operational impacts, and implement supportive cost-control measures as needed. Our team stands ready to assist in any way necessary to help navigate this development together.
