“If there is coordination, that isn’t just a regulatory mishap. That’s an affront to our democracy,” mayoral candidate Zellnor Myrie says, after filing a complaint alleging Andrew Cuomo’s illegally coordinating with his super PAC.
BREAKING: America has awoken! (Thread of Nationwide Protests:)
A Massive Protest has formed in Boston just now. Thousands are protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE.
This is just 1 of over 1000 planned protests this morning and afternoon. See the rest below --->
“I told them from the beginning, I wasn’t voting for him,” @LeroyComrie says of @andrewcuomo, instead he’s backing @NYCSpeakerAdams.
“Look at his history with Covid, to veterans, closing Creedmoor putting more homeless in the street.” https://t.co/0uvSOesLDg
For all new to NYC Mayor Eric Adams & being appalled by him, his corruption, & general weirdness, this thread is for you.
I’ve been following his behavior since his run for office in 2021. Here’s some truth on the worst mayor in NYC History. Receipts in no particular order:
Upon receiving the news that four of the City's Deputy Mayors have submitted their resignations, I sent the following letter to @nycmayor.
If Mayor Adams cannot provide a contingency plan to the 8 million New Yorkers who rely on City services to function, I will seek to convene a meeting of the Inability Committee.

People are breaking down on TikTok because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act.
The heartbreaking part? So many have pre-existing conditions.
One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4
The rift widens. Banks releases a statement through a PR firm. His DOE "spokesman" @necs won't say if he still speaks for Banks. Apparently, he doesn't.
New: Mayor Adams wants David Banks OUT sooner than Dec. 31, as the chancellor had planned. Banks will leave on Oct. 16, putting Melissa Aviles-Ramos at the helm of @nycschools. In a curt statement by City Hall, Adams thanks Banks for his service to the city and nearly 1M students.
Trigger warning: this police bodycam footage of Victoria Lee’s execution is horrifying. They showed up to her door, kicked it down, and murdered her. She was holding a big blue water cooler bottle. ACAB, all day every day. Her family deserves justice. https://t.co/njAnGKVNt8
"Social housing that is permanently affordable, tenant-controlled and promotes social and racial equity is already popular among New York City voters: Eight in 10 likely voters supported it as a means to address the housing crisis in a 2023 poll." https://t.co/s98N8xY8sD
Former President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that writer E. Jean Carroll levied "false accusations" against him, even as similar remarks have resulted in large court judgments against him. https://t.co/EOb1CztpUK
BREAKING: A DC federal appeals court has just ruled that Donald Trump does NOT have presidential immunity from a lawsuit being brought by police officers for his role on January 6th. More terrible news for Donald Trump, but great news for justice & accountability.
I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him. There will never be another like him- he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!
I'm the grandson of legal immigrants to NYC. My husband is a legal immigrant to NYC and a longtime union member of the @nynurses . Our son is a legal immigrant and grew up to be a union member in the UPS @Teamsters .
Our family exists because Democrat @andrewcuomo worked with Republicans to legalize same-sex marriage over a decade ago. Today, NYC radical socialist politicians like @votejgr and @jessicaramos run around all day in designer clothes for photo-ops designed for social media, while berating moderate Democrats like Cuomo and ALL Republicans.
These socialists scream that only they speak for gay men, immigrants and union members in reaching for the American Dream. But they don't speak for us. And they don't speak for you as a citizen or an immigrant, if you play by the rules.
The answers to serious challenges aren't found in unserious, unqualified, demagogic socialist politicians selling NYC platitudes on a migration crisis, a crime crisis and a resulting budget crisis...ALL on their watch, ALL caused by their policies.
The next time a NYC socialist politician tells you they have ALL the answers for a better future for you and your family, ask them what they've done before politics, as a private citizen, to make a difference for their state, country and humanity.
In my opinion, most opportunistic @nywfp socialists like @bradlander talk the talk, but don't walk the walk...unless it's at fake protest, with real cameras. Or at a non-profit from which they they profit personally.
New York has 463,600 families with childcare-aged kids.
We need childcare for half a million kids — not a Governor who holds a press conference for 200 seats.
