Let me tell you about this. It was brought up last minute as a reso, a few people seemed actually excited, but most just resigned to him winning, w/ a weird assumption that he would be best to fight Trump. Do actual strong candidates need to bully their way into an endorsement?

I'll keep this respectful. Defending Eric Adams because he's a Black Mayor while he allows ICE to harass Black immigrant communities is contradictory.

11 years ago I saw Andrew Cuomo's corruption up close. He hasn't changed, and that's why he's the wrong person to lead New York City. Let me take you back to when Cuomo weaponized an anti-corruption to protect his friends & investigate his enemies: open.substack.com/pub/janosmarto…

Alt question: putting electoral politics aside, should there be more leaders traveling the country trying to build popular opposition to Trump and Musk's agenda (Medicaid, taxes, etc) at a time when have a chance to stop it?

Is chaos not what we're already experiencing? And by voting in favor of the CR, weren't these dem Senators effectively endorsing the continuation of that chaos?

How are they going to do a story on these businesses tanking and not even mention that they were all bought by private equity firms? That almost every time a big chain files for bankruptcy it’s because of a private equity firm.

New York City's Campaign Finance Board just ruled that Andrew Cuomo's mayoral campaign improperly coordinated with his Fix the City super PAC on an ad earlier this month, and are withholding more than $620,000 of public matching funds from his campaign.

How can we possibly believe his claim that he’ll stand up to Trump when he can’t even face a smattering of protesters? Coward. #CuomotheCoward

Imagine if one of the older and sicker Dems would’ve retired instead of died in office and what that would’ve meant for millions of people.

Our Adwell team won more Pollies (the Oscars for consultants) this year than any other Dem firm, including a silver for yours truly!

this deep fear of answering a few press questions … neither fits the tough guy persona nor bodes well for actually being mayor

Let's be honest about what's happening here. Zohran's candidacy is an existential threat to the elites who have run NYC forever, including the elite NY Times board members who hit the Hamptons with Cuomo donors. This is a *change election*, and they are nervous.

When publications tout Cuomo’s record as governor I wish they asked one simple, yet consequential question: did those things happen because he championed them or in spite of his interference?

There have been a lot of discussions about my gynecological records and yet barely any mention of the fact that I STILL am not safe to discuss this personal experience publicly. All this as he claims he will make NY safer, while his super PAC takes in millions from billionaires

A statement that doesn’t mention Iran or the Iranian people after they were the ones that were bombed. Absolutely braindead drivel.

Whatever happens, Mamdani wrote a new playbook for progressives He reached outside the base. He ran away from purity politics. He didn't run as "I'm the true progressive and you're not." He tolerated disagreement, embraced persuasion, and emphasized building common ground.

Everyone understandably talks about the videos, his ubiquitous and infectious energy on social media and IRL, his messaging and activation of new and younger voters- all of which is true. But watching him these last 8 months in action, it was the pure emotional intelligence for

Now that Zohran Kwame Mamdani is the presumptive Democratic nominee for Mayor, it's time for Dems to rally behind him for the general. Cristina González, aaron from queens 🇵🇸 & I are tracking support via spreadsheet (see next post). Please reach out to your Democratic electeds!

Reach out to your electeds and ask, “it’s vote blue no matter who, right? RIGHT?!”

Today we took our five borough tour to Staten Island, which too often has been caricatured or ignored. The truth is that the story of Staten Island is the story of New York — a city built by generations of immigrants, where everyone wants to be able to afford a dignified life.
