Truly notable about Mamdani's win, where politics & policy meet, & the life of the city: he doesn't own a car, is a big public transit rider, & in his (yes, brief) legislative career & campaign has made the subways & buses that transport millions every day a top priority.

This map is incredible for several reasons, one that it suggests that people who actually take the subway aren’t nearly as scared of it as those who don’t.

if young voters turned out like they did for Zohran Mamdani for every race, the Democratic Party would never lose an election again so naturally, establishment Dems are…smearing him and refusing to endorse?

This is important detail. Yes, any car accident _can_ kill a pedestrian. But most serious crashes and fatalities are caused by the small number of drivers who willfully committing fraud and then drive like assholes. Going after _them_ makes a big difference and saves lives.

What if, instead of pushing for regressive things like this that hurt public transit, unions pushed for more service in order to increase work for their members instead?

After Chair Richard Buery opens by noting “this is an *independent* commission” (all appointed by Adams and staffed by City Hall) Brad Lander is the first to testify AGAINST open primaries, saying it looks like “sour losers” want to change the outcome of the mayoral primary.

A bill passed by the NYS Legislature requiring two-person crews for all subway trains would not only leave NY in the past—no other major transit system requires this—it would also cause immediate service cuts wherever trains operate with one person now, including on the G and M.

Two corrupt old men are fighting with each other over dropping out of the race while their media allies (including some appallingly racist people) think SAT scores from nearly 20 years ago are something anyone cares about. What a day for New York City politics.

4 million people are going to ride the subway today, and reality star loser Secretary Sean Duffy is ignoring the infrastructure effects of a tragic national disaster to go on state media and spread lies about transit.

I'm reminded of the quote from this 2021 Bloomberg story about NYC transplants getting buyers remorse when fleeing for tax havens: “The main problem with moving to Florida is that you have to live in Florida” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
