I used to pray for times like this

[Red Lion Politics @lion_politics]

The vibes on the ground are the worst I’ve seen in my life. No one wants to promote candidates, no one wants to knock doors, no one wants to do shit. Attendance for any right wing event is at all time lows anywhere I go. Thank you Donald Trump for ruining it for us… and handing the country over to socialism.

Floridians love the benefits of not paying state income taxes and are baffled when state services suck. People who want low taxes get exactly what they pay for. You want good schools, roads, etc? Pay your taxes.

[Ethan @EthanLBernstein]

With that extra money New York State invests in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social services on a level the average Floridian couldn’t dream of. Common complaint I heard when I lived there was that government services were inadequate.

DESANTIS just slammed New York:

"We have 4 million more residents than New York State does, yet our budget's $117 billion, their budget's $268 BILLION dollars!"

LESSONS FROM THE ELECTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY

Last night, voters across New York delivered a powerful message: the era of status quo politics is over.

From Buffalo to Queens, grassroots candidates ran bold campaigns focused on the struggles facing working people and won decisive victories. Not only did Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier win their Congressional primaries, but progressives won downballot as well. Adam Bojak, Christian Celeste Tate, Eli Northrup, Illapa Sairitupac, Samantha Kattan, Eon Huntley, Diana Moreno and David Orkin all won their New York state assembly races, while Aber Kawas and Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas won their State Senate races.

These victories occurred despite the fact that Super PACs funded by AIPAC, the crypto industry, AI and other billionaire-backed groups have spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat progressive candidates and crush a movement that threatens their economic and political power.

They happened because ordinary people knocked on doors, made phone calls, organized in their communities, and demanded a government that works for working families instead of wealthy campaign donors.

The American people — in New York and all across this country — are tired of a rigged economy that allows the very rich to become richer while working families struggle to afford housing, health care, child care and education. They are tired of a political system dominated by wealthy donors and corporate interests. And they are tired of billionaires and their Super PACs attempting to buy our elections.

Last night showed that when working people stand together, organize, and fight back, they can defeat establishment politicians and enormous amounts of money and political influence.

We’re making progress. The task before us now is to build on that momentum.

If Democrats regain control of Congress next year, they must listen to the people who put them in office. Status quo establishment policies are not enough. We must be bold.  We must take on Oligarchy. We must represent working families and create a government that works for all, not just the few.

GOOD MORNING NEW YORK CITY.

Bottle this feeling 🍾

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

[New York Giants @Giants]

The Harbaugh era starts now

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

John Harbaugh and the Giants are working to finalize an agreement to make him New York’s next head coach and, barring a setback, a deal is expected, multiple sources tell ESPN.

The deal is not final and contract numbers still are being negotiated. “There still is a lot to work through,” one source said.

But barring any setbacks, Harbaugh is ready to accept the Giants’ deal and the Giants are expected to hire him as soon as possible, per sources.

I'm absolutely sickened by this. ICE needs to be abolished we don't need a secret police force at the beck and call of the President.

[Max Nesterak @maxnesterak]

A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

[Mitt Romney @MittRomney]

We’ve reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more. https://t.co/m0zXuXeC43

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

This is a good thing

Trump/Mamdani meeting was basically this

[Ethan @EthanLBernstein]

@ShaunMorash Agreed, but how would you feel about the retro uniforms with the NY helmet?

@BigKnickEnergy_ @joshhart What is Brunson doing? Is that OG? I swear the longer you stare at it the weirder it gets

[Ethan @EthanLBernstein]

@alanhahn Why not see what Kafka can do with this team over the next 7 games? He's been interviewing for HC jobs over the last few years and he was made AHC before the season for a reason. I'm curious to see how he finishes the year.

[Ethan @EthanLBernstein]

Neither is Bowen

I don't think Brian Daboll is making it back on the Giants plane
