Just had to reject a flyer from @CynthiaNixon on the street in the West Village to vote for @bradlander for Congress because not only can’t unaffiliated voters vote in primaries in New York, I live in New Jersey.

I’m really going to miss this city.

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

You mean MetLife stadium

Welcome to the land of New Jersey!

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Governor Kathy Hochul in attendance for Brazil vs. Morocco.

Approximate location where that photo was taken is now a park, overpriced apartment buildings, and AP’s New York bureau & headquarters.

90 West Street building still exists but trees and the Marriott Downtown hotel are partially blocking it.

NJ redistricting update: Still nothing. If Dems want it on the ballot this year, they'll need to pass the amendment by early August. But they're currently working on the budget and usually break for the summer after they pass it...

@zachblackburn23 Same to you! Just read the news.
Let’s link up sometime.

Some personal news: AP has gone through significant department restructuring recently, and I was given an incentivized offer to relocate from our New York City bureau to our Washington DC bureau, and I accepted. I almost said no, but it was too great of an offer.

[Ryan Dubicki @DubickiRyan]

I will miss New Jersey.
I will miss having representation in Congress.
I will miss having a Governor.
I will miss Friday night train rides down the shore in the summer.
I will miss pork roll.

But I’m looking forward to this new chapter in my life & career.

My version of what an ideal PATH expansion would look like! Complete with EWR AirTrain to Newark Penn & Hoboken Terminal now through-running!

@StatisticUrban It’s not a “runoff”, by definition.
Both advance to the General Election, regardless of margins.

Runoffs are avoidable if a candidate hits a specific threshold margin and wins outright.

Voters dropping their mail ballot off at a vote center on Election Day and thinking it is “Election Day voting” is the whole problem with California’s vote count/election system.

If they just vote on a machine instead, it is not as labor intensive for the election officials.

[Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk @LACountyRRCC]

Many voters choose to return their Vote by Mail ballot on Election Day. Those ballots are valid and deserve the same level of care, security, and verification as every other ballot cast in the election.

Taking the time for work ensures every eligible vote is counted accurately.

All eyes are on Lesley Stahl and Bill Whitaker's future at "60 Minutes" after CBS News fired Scott Pelley.

Their decision will be an emotional one, says one source: “I think they feel like if they leave, there’s nothing left of '60.'”

Proof: my friend in Riverside County got her ballot 4 weeks ago and is just now returning it now in a Dropbox.

[Ryan Dubicki @DubickiRyan]

I say it all the time … if California wants faster results, it needs to encourage more in-person machine voting and earlier mail ballot returns.

Right now, ~90% of the state votes by mail, and about half of those mail voters wait until Election Day to return their ballot.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The fact that California elections often can't be resolved for weeks is kind of insane and not common in other electoral systems around the world.

[Ryan Dubicki @DubickiRyan]

At least the municipal boundaries of Los Angeles County are contiguous; unlike where I grew up in Toms River, New Jersey.

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

In fairness, American local government is kind of incoherent by design. The metropolises is a natural and intuitive unit of human organization, yet the typical US metropolis is a patchwork of dozens of distinct local jurisdictions with entirely arbitrary boundaries.

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

UPDATE: DHS has met our demand to restore family visitation.

Starting today, limited visitation will resume at noon, and regular visitation hours will be restored beginning tomorrow. Families should contact the facility directly for additional details. Law enforcement will help escort families into the facility. It is critical that outside actors allow this to happen safely.

I continue to call on DHS to provide appropriate care and medicine for all detainees, give detainees a meaningful opportunity to review their cases, stop pressuring detainees into signing deportation documents, be transparent about who is being held in this facility, and ultimately close this facility.

I urge everyone who shares these goals to continue working together to lower the temperature and protest peacefully – so we can continue making progress for families and detainees while avoiding any ICE escalation that would only create more fear and uncertainty in our communities.
