Wow why won’t the New York Times cover the protests

Good thread here. Agree with 99 percent of it!

At this point, I think anybody who is anti-Cuomo should be at least thinking about ranking Brad 1. So far in this race, I think it's plausible that Brad has a bit of momentum among the non-Cuomo and Zohran folks and this suggests in the final three they're actually pretty close.

From what I can tell so far Waymo has been much safer than human drivers. I don't trust human drivers at all and they're the ones speeding through red lights on my walk to daycare with my daughter. The problem with Tesla, I think, is Tesla

The solution to all of this is a large party and para party organization that pays well and lets people just park and keep working for the party in the out years. Instead we have this horrible constellation.

It’s a hanging curve because he is the only one who takes the issue sufficiently seriously.

The mistake they make is conflating lobbyist hires with people who have expertise.

The myth of Andrew Cuomo's competence has existed for way too long!

If you are searching for hope, consider that no amount of $ could make the people of NJ like Josh Gottheimer.

These are very good answers all in.

I was pretty sympathetic to Dem electeds taking conservative stances on immigration in order to win elections given where public opinion has been. But also it seemed pretty obvious that thermostatic backlash would come on the issue given how evil the GOP is and how much they seem to delight in it.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

This is honestly the thing that made me pretty down on Zohran from the beginning.

I'm not joking when I say I prefer Eric Adams to Andrew Cuomo. Adams we got City of Yes, Jess Tisch is as good an NYPD commissioner as we could reasonably hope for. Rikers not fully in his control anymore.
