1. NYCBOE plans to run initial ranked choice voting rounds tomorrow for NYC mayor. I'm assuming that based on unofficial results there'll be just 1 instance of vote transfers (from Round 1 to 2). There’s a *mathematical possibility* Cuomo could win, but very unlikely. More in the 🧵 below.

The votes for @1199seiu.org's leadership elections are in, and the opposition slate, 1199 Members First, won big. Yvonne Armstrong will become 1199's new President; Veronica Turner-Biggs will be Secretary-Treasurer. Very big news, first reported by @mayakaufman.bsky.social (x.com/mayakauf/sta...).
Screenshot of news piece by Maya Kaufman of Politico, taken from her post reporting the news on X.

Headline: "Health care union president ousted in upset election"

Deck/drop: "George Gresham, the longtime leader of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, was defeated by a team of his former lieutenants."

Byline: "BY MAYA KAUFMAN | 05/04/2025 09:16 AM EDT"

Most of the screenshot consists of a photo of George Gresham, the decades-long leader of 1199SEIU, who was just defeated in a leadership election for president.

NYC progressives want to beat Adams and Cuomo. Can they set aside their differences?
The path to victory means that left-leaning voters — and mayoral candidates — must coalesce around a slate of five choices.

My ancestors were ardent Republicans. Donald Trump is betraying their values. Republicans used to support Black voting rights, morality in personal and public life, and hated the Soviet Union. Many must now be upset, but their leaders are cowering before his threats. A great tradition tarnished.

Reducing the NIH overhead rate to 15 percent is a major attack on higher education. It is one of the most dysfunctional things the Trump administration aspires to do. Universities will respond by moving indirect costs to direct costs, but the chaos in the meantime will disrupt research.

The Census web site is down. Possibly a Trump administration decision that we should not be able to have access to actual data on issues like racial differences in outcomes? Usually my feeds from Census data users would provide an explanation for something like this, but none has been forthcoming.
