By vote of 5-0, the #cambma Planning Board finds the recommendations in the Douglas Brown Petition to be too soon and recommends the City Council not adopt that zoning petition, which would roll back some of the multifamily housing ordinance. (HTC, DM, AT, CZ, TS voting)

I owe my position as Mayor of New York City to the power of working people and I will always govern with them in mind. 

We’ve delivered millions of dollars in corporate settlements to workers — nearly $100K each day we’ve been in office. 

We’re just getting started. Happy May Day, New York.

With the result in Virginia, here's what we know about how mid-decade redistricting has shifted the landscape. Across the 7 states with new maps: —11 districts have shifted toward Democrats; —9 districts have shifted toward the GOP.

I was trying to figure out what the rumors were that Melania just vehemently denied and I couldn't find any rumors. Then it dawned on me. Trump is turning to the Epstein Files to distract us from the Iran War debacle!
The New York Times: News Analysis: Historical analogies are never exact. But with the tenuous cease-fire deal in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, some wonder whether this is a “Suez moment” for the U.S., when a leading power signals the start of its international decline.

Hernández bragged he would shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos and yet Trump pardons him while at the same time blowing up fishermen who MIGHT have drugs on their small boats. Trump pardons a drug lord while threatening war with Venezuela. A president utterly out of control.
Hernández bragged he would shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos. He is responsible for bringing more than 500 tons of cocaine into the United States -

Trump is taking money we use to house people, money we use to *prevent* homelessness, and requiring it be spent instead on policing homelessness. Yelling at people for being homeless, unsurprisingly, is less effective than housing people. He doesn't give a shit. The cruelty is the point.

@moulton.house.gov blamed the 2024 election loss on transgender politics. I knew then he was so wrong and the voters on Tue proved me right. I was on the ground in Pennsylvania in 2024. I KNEW the election was lost because of the price of eggs. This past Tue, the voters proved me right.
But other Republicans said their party needs to get the message that Americans are deeply concerned about the cost of living. Trump ran on a promise to end inflation, but the headlines of his second term have focused on his firing of federal workers, his construction of a ballroom, the government shutdown and similar hot-button issues.
“I think we need to heed what the voters are telling us — they want us to focus on pocketbook issues, which is part and parcel of how Trump got elected in the first place,” Nicholas said. “Perhaps we have run enough ads on the trans issue for a while.”
