DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Andy Beshear is demonstrating why voters are pushing out incumbent democrats. What a pathetic response to covering up McConnell’s death. “I haven’t heard anything”. Dude get off your fucking ass and go down to the hospital. Cause a fucking scene. We’re tired of this shit.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows:

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."
