Trump and Texas moved first.

Now California must act to counter a corrupt president who's ordering up seats in Congress like he's ordering fast food. Shamefully, his GOP sycophants are delivering.

On Nov 4, voters choose our maps.

Vote Yes on Prop 50 on November 4th.
#YesOn50
California redistricting is because trump asked Texas to rig the elections.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

And we've already seen the transformative impacts of eliminating the fare when we won and implemented a historic fare free bus pilot on one line in each borough.

Ridership went up. Assaults on operators went down. And people saved money.

How do we speed buses up? There are plenty of tools already in the city's toolbox.

Just look at the 14th St busway.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · Jul 11
The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

Buses are how more than a million New Yorkers get to work, school, job interviews and appointments.

Especially in outerborough neighborhoods with no subway service, they're a lifeline.

And today, 1 in 5 New Yorkers struggle to afford the fare. It doesn't need to be this way.
