i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

i'm a very biased party here but pretty much everything about the Mamdani campaign and the discourse around it thus far is a pretty thorough vindication of Africana Studies

Hamilton Nolan @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social · 10h

It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today)

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Got a close relative who keeps saying only Cuomo can stand up to Trump. I don't think he early-voted! I'll just give him a li'l call tonight.

Trump and Musk, literally the two worst people in the country, just endorsed Cuomo.

Just waiting for Stephen Miller to chime in.

Today, Matthew Dimick argues that while antitrust may promise to tame corporate power, it leaves untouched the deeper logic of capitalism that compels production for profit’s sake.

The latest in our mini-series on Marxism and Antitrust.

Marx, Antitrust, and the Logic of Capital

Antitrust may promise to tame corporate power, but it leaves untouched the deeper logic of capitalism that compels production for profit's sake. In this sense, antitrust is not voluntarist enough…

I know so many people who are voting in NYC today (as opposed to any other day) to get the Halloween voting sticker. The real question is why isn't the left taking more advantage of this sticker motivation dynamic 🤔

A NYC I Voted sticker with a pigeon holding a trick-or-treating pumpkin in its beak, bats in the background, that says "Halloween Voter 2025"

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

New York is among the three states with the highest childcare costs — and it's driving working families out of our city.

Providing it as a universal right is good for our neighborhoods, our economy, and our future.

Massachusetts is the state with the highest child care costs, according to new data from the North Carolina law office DeMayo Law.
