Mayoral frontrunner Andrew Cuomo rolled out a proposal today to raise NYC's minimum hourly wage to $20, but the plan would need Albany’s backing, in part because he as governor blocked an effort to let the city set its own salary standards. www.nydailynews.com/2025/05/28/c...

Statements from Brooklyn Democratic honchos, who have long been close to Adams, but now back disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, signal that a more car-first policy is coming if the former governor becomes mayor.

“Cuomo now regrets the tenant protections he signed into law, and his major donors include the city's biggest landlords. You might also recall that Cuomo's initial housing policy paper was revealed by Hell Gate to be ChatGPT-assisted nonsense.”

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

When we tax them at 90%, they dislike paying the TAX, so they put the money in other stuff — building new facilities, employee retention (salaries, raises), philan-trophy*, weird obsessions — which all translate into money in other people’s hands. *intentional

Important point.

No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America. It's time to face the fact that virtually every other leading democracy on the planet serves their people better than we do here. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...

the new york knicks were put on this earth by the devil to make me personally depressed

As a few folks have said, having the White House say that Trump is in a private event is a big admission under Trump v US which says official acts are immune & unofficial private acts ARE NOT IMMUNE. ⚖️🧐

"We are extremely skeptical that law alone will be enough to stop lawlessness." Bingo.

if you don’t have a tip, please consider sharing this post. (either here or elsewhere.) someone who may have a tip could see it.

This is a really good idea.

New Yorkers can’t afford four more years of a compromised Mayor kissing Trump’s ass.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Omg this a thousand times over. And not to pile on, but you are also so much closer to the nearest spider than you think you are.

This is the Cuomo his PR team is always trying to hide: a creepy loser who governs with one hand.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
