I know this a less popular executive order to challenge but he can’t do this, it’s not “technically prohibited”… it’s “against the law” and this is a choice to not enforce the law. Despite everyone testifying it was a national security risk. Was that all lying to the public?

We've been living with SuperPACs for 15 years. It was really bad before SuperPACs, but now they have entered the bloodstream of the party and primaries its a disease we can't get rid of quickly enough. SuperPACs--the longing for the $$$, the fear of the $$$--shapes every move.

This analysis is WRONG. Do you know where the highest storefront vacancies are? They are outside of the NCDs where there is no storefront vacancy tax. They are in buildings that are new construction w/ cold shells. They are held by speculators who aren’t trying lease…

There are multiple contributing factors to vacancies & formula retail isn’t at the top of the list. Our neighborhood has seen storefront vacancies decline by more than half since the storefront vacancy tax went into place. They should be considering a vacancy tax for downtown.

Why does every basic product now require a subscription?? Former FTC Chair Lina Khan says she received letters of support across the aisle for the "Click to Cancel" laws, which are now being postponed by the new administration. 😧

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100. Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC. This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.

a few facts about the state of the American economy for working class people: consumer spending is going down for those living paycheck-to-paycheck, but is masked by the fact that the richest folks are spending/buying a lot

Mid-sized firms with domestic supply chains are more resilient than global conglomerates therefore they should be acquired by global conglomerates.
