New York completely rejected left-NIMBYism today. we elected a socialist pro-housing mayor, and passed pro-housing ballot measures with a diverse coalition that was strongest in the Bronx, winning every borough by double digits (except the MAGA NIMBYs Staten Island)

We got almost 900 trick-or-treaters tonight! Got barriers from the city to keep cars out. Decorated and had interactive activities. Super cool haunted house next door. I did a roulette wheel to pick treat. Love my neighborhood!

My wife and I just called. Operators are standing by!
🚨🚨🚨⬇️⬇️⬇️ Tell Newsom to sign SB79, to allow housing along transit.
Literally took me 10 seconds.
If you don't like telephones, you can leave a digital comment in the link below.
Active Bill -> SB79 -> Please sign SB79.

Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades.
It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate.
Tell him!

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.
Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.
If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Hey @npr.org your Life Kit piece blaming bicyclists and pedestrians for their own slaughter by car drivers is a bad look. Seems like you’re bowing to big oil and the auto industry. Regretting my pledge.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com the a-block critique of the NYT and legacy press corps was 🔥🔥🔥and spot on. I want a transcript to read daily so I know I’m not losing my mind.

I’ve been begging Dem reps to adopt criminal framing for Trump and GOP actions.
Because it’s clear, memorable, and has the benefit of being true.
The president is a convicted criminal.
He is out on bail.
His EO’s are illegal.
DOGE’s actions are illegal.
ICE is kidnapping people.

First of all, MAGA Murder Budget is great. Second, asking people which messages would be most persuasive to them is worse than useless. Human beings are terrible at reporting why they believe things!
"House Majority Fund, a Democratic group aligned with House Democratic leadership, issued talking points for members on the bill."

We need to hear the Dems standing strong and firm with Rep. McIver.

McIver says: “I will not be intimidated.”

I spent the day at the Terrapin Roadshow in Monte Rio and it renewed my hope. A thousand people from birth to 90 dancing and singing in a redwood grove. “Through this world of trouble we gotta love one another”. Yeah Jerry! Grateful Dead Forever!
