Prime Minister Netanyahu's lies about @mayor.nyc.gov don't change the fact that Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal who has blocked justice for Americans killed on his watch. If there's anyone who should be shamed & ashamed, it's him. He's lucky he was even allowed into our country.

More in my lane is how anti-semitism is now basically unregulated on social media, how any 14 year old can now find "Jewish question" content that was walled off 10 years ago... and all the energy is in banning Israel boycotts. I assure you, that's making this worse!

@alonlevy.bsky.social what do you think Baltimore/MD should build? Outside of the HSR improvements (BWI 4th rail, curves), what are your thoughts? Bayview station? Does putting the light rail in a tunnel make sense? What corridors make the most sense for new subway construction?

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate.
Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Investor-owned utilities are experts at saying the right things to the right people at the right time. It's what they *do*, not what they *say*, that people - policymakers, investors, and customers alike - must be paying attention to. They're also good at making that non-transparent.

awesome. cool. fantastic.
During Joe Biden’s four years in office, the Justice Department did not pursue releasing records related to Epstein and lawmakers did not pursue legislative action. Democrats in Congress told me that their party leadership sought to dissuade them from pursuing the effort in recent months, changing their stance only after feeling public pressure and seeing internal polling.
