To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

Received my signed copy today. Can't wait to read it. Obviously, I had to verify the signature of @markhertling.bsky.social . It checks out.

Perhaps not being paid would provide some incentive to shorten, or ideally, prevent shutdowns. Since most are independently wealthy, I have doubts, but it's a start. c.org/STK7ftxghG

The point is that they continue to get paid during the shutdown and should be a work out of deference to the workers not being paid. It's time they earn their paycheck. www.axios.com/2025/10/29/m...

I love reading James Fell and this is great reminder that even when everything seems to be going sideways, we shouldn't stop trying. It sucks that we're in this situation, but we must persevere. open.substack.com/pub/jamesfel...

Excellent description of today’s MAGA-Republican Party. They’re not capable of empathy or compassion. It’s all about the cruelty with them. They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people. It’s shameful and it needs to end.

Fun fact, Mark Hertling was my Brigade Commander when I was 2ID in Ft. Lewis. He was a great leader then and he has a ton of real world experience. When he talks about things like this, people should absolutely listen.

New, from @propublica.org Taxpayers and charities subsidized much of the science that led to Zolgensma. Yet that support came with no conditions for the companies that brought the drug over the finish line, even when it came to setting a price: $2M+ for a single dose!

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
