I’d rather be playing with the baby or on my bike. I oversee the largest utility building electrification program in the US. We should build more homes, here, there, everywhere. Yes, I watched that Knicks game.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Federal Agents Search Home of Rep. Ilhan Omar
The search takes place within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

Good. Targeting end of life and emergency replacements sounds good but ramps up the difficulty for a program. Curious to see if they can make it work. Most of the residential projects we have seen take planning and are not end of life decisions.

Yes. Flat rebates are much better. Scaling with system size in residential projects just leads to oversized systems and inflated costs.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

No more.
ICE SHOT A MAN IN THE BRONX 
abolish ice now

We have seen the proof time and again in blood. When violent, masked agents come into our communities, people are hurt and killed. This incident marks the 37th ICE or CBP-related shooting since January. We do not need any more. 

These agents shot with the intention to put this man’s life — and the life of a child — at risk. This is the direct consequence of allowing a lawless federal agency to operate with impunity, secrecy, and unchecked, deadly force. 

We demand that DHS release all footage of the shooting and aftermath tonight. We insist on an independent investigation led by the NYS Attorney General in collaboration with the NYPD and Bronx district attorney. The agent who shot the individual must be publicly named and face serious consequences for his recklessness. 

ICE’s violence is not welcome in New York City. We urge Bronx businesses Kingbridge Associates and Target to close parking lots to ICE effective immediately. We need ICE out of New York now.

The advertised meeting time was 10:00-3:00. It’s 2:30 and we still haven’t begun. County Committee members are working people who have other places to be on a weekday. This sort of dysfunction is incredibly disrespectful to community members who are giving their time to engage with our party.

Six years ago, when I started following them, Atalanta under Gasperini were good (Champions League quality) and very fun. Right now, under Sarri, they are neither. I think there’s enough talent to challenge for a top 6 spot, but not like this.

Sorta pleased by that Gaetano red. I am unimpressed by his game. Not impactful enough either without the ball. Curious to see the midfield without him. Maybe Ederdson back centrally w Samardzic and Zalewski on either side?

2-1 is more than fair as a loss when Atalanta is outshot 39-6 and Roma has 78-16 touches in box… CDK had a few moments…and yet, those first ~15’ of the second half were the best La Dea has looked in 5 real matches this season, up until Kristovic slid a chance at 2-0 wide. Shrug.

Toby Hyde @tobyhyde.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Atalanta have to be relieved to get into half at 0-0 vs Roma. Carnesecchi the only guy who has played well. On the whole the defense has been attentive to Malen. But that’s it for the positive. The offense is not impotent; it’s totally absent w .06 XG?? 1 touch in the box to 36 for Roma?
