Outside of Eric Adams, no single elected official has done more damage to NYC than New York’s #1 Nepo Baby, Andrew Cuomo. Here’s the proof 🧵

Reminder: Climate damages from now to 2050 are at least 6X the mitigation costs required to limit global warming to 2 °C. Plus we all get clean air and cheap energy.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If the White House press corps doesn't walk out in solidarity for the AP they're not gonna do it for anyone.

Hochul needs to stop being a coward and immediately remove Adams, a criminal who has made a corrupt bargain with a criminal administration to subvert the process that would otherwise hold him accountable.

Updated story: the judge convened a videoconference hearing and granted the order within an hour of the filing - during the Super Bowl. Not sure I have ever heard of a court moving that fast.

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

More inconclusive reports on the #congestionpricing call btw Trump and Hochul in the SI Advance. SI electeds in both parties have been focused on filing lawsuits rather than advocating for badly needed bus and ferry service improvements. www.silive.com/politics/202...

The Trump admin's hostility to clean energy is a job killer. Here on Staten Island, a massive project with wide bipartisan support might get shut down 5 years into planning. We need to put pressure on swing district House reps like Malliotakis on this issue. www.silive.com/climate/2025...

Real question - NYC allows citizen complainants to report illegal idling and share in the fines. Any reason not to do the same with illlegal / obscured plates?

Staten Island and NJ electeds could have negotiated for similar investments, but instead chose to yell and file lawsuits.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

It is INSANE that NY(C) democrats are not running laps around the success of congestion pricing. @marklevinenyc.bsky.social @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social where you at???

The Home Energy Assistance Program that helps low-income New Yorkers pay for heat has run out of federal funding during one of the coldest weeks of the year. The GOP-controlled Congress is unlikely to care. We need NY State to step up—and to pass the NY HEAT Act to lower utility costs.

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually. Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda. Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration. The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.

i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!

"The point [of congestion pricing] is to make this city better for everybody." MTA Chair Janno Lieber gave remarks after a judge denied New Jersey's bid to stop the toll just over 24 hours before it's set to take effect. youtube.com/shorts/9WqoN...
