So Knucklehead's idea of "affordability" is selling us tiny $10,000 cars. Like this is going to fix the mess he's gotten the economy in. #Trump

X-Twitter seems overrun with deranged Cuomo/Sliwa voters who can't figure out how screaming "communist" like it's 1955 failed to stop Mamdani.

Just to be clear: She is NOT upset because the president is threatening people. In fact, she voted for him BECAUSE he threatened people. No, she's upset because he's threatening HER.

Congratulations #Zohran Now, will John #Catsimatidis make good his pledge to close his overpriced grocery store chain now that #Zohran is #NYC Mayor ? Hopefully, he'll close his right wing propaganda radio show too.

Billionaire John Catsimatidis threatens to close Gristedes chain if socialist Zohran Mamdani elected NYC mayor
“Will Mamdani run the supermarkets with union help? When people start shoplifting, will he even have cops arrest them,” Catsimatidis pondered.

Zohran Mamdani's focus on public transportation - and on affordability in general - paid off in a big way. Lots of fascinating insights in this map (free link)

This is what happens when policy is made in response to loudmouths with moral outrage instead of facts. #EBikes aren't what's killing two people a week in #BikeNYC

I just passed a news stand, and noted a half dozen NYTimes, maybe ten NYDaily News, and a foot and a half high stack of NY Posts. This explains in part the screaming you hear in every borough about communists running for public office.

Trump announced today, seemingly at random, that he is cancelling fed funding for Gateway Tunnel, a tunnel for intercity & commuter trains under the Hudson River.

The motivation for the cancellation—which is likely to be contested—appears to be purely the president’s hatred of Sen Schumer.
"If this system of transportation collapses, the Northeastern economy and the economy of the country collapses." The most important economic development project in the entire nation threatened with cancellation: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/n...

So was it “medical episode” “lost control” “possible mechanical failure” “swerved to avoid another vehicle” or some other excuse?
Glad no pedestrians were killed or maimed or had their legs torn off.

Illegal parking everywhere is the main reason NYC's bike lanes/network always feels so half-assed #bikenyc
Our office released a new study highlighting rampant illegal parking across Downtown Brooklyn. Vehicles block sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes & loading zones - making it more dangerous for New Yorkers to get around the neighborhood.
