‘Housing belongs to the penultimate gentrifier.’

Valdez of course is a Texas transplant who moved to a gentrifying neighborhood in Queens where people like her pushed out less affluent residents.

Now that she is there she wants to protect herself from the very same market forces.

‘DSA socialism’ is a very specific class politics that seeks to provide undeserved privileges and sinecures to a relatively affluent group of people.

This brand of ‘Leftism’ launders political demands that would be unsympathetic if they were presented more transparently.

Okay.

Espaillat was a quiet IDC booster and was also very close to IDC boss Jeff Klein. He was an Andrew Cuomo ally as well.

California’s electoral system is insane and of course taking this long to count ballots leads to questions! Ballot harvesting ought to be punted into the Sun. My take on @cnn tonight…

Trump on Stephen A. Smith: "You need a high IQ to run for president. I'm not sure that Stephen has that. I don't think he does actually."

[Jennifer Callahan @jenlynncallahan]

Nithya’s voters are struggling with LA’s affordability crisis and are looking to her to relieve cost-of-living pressures. So it makes perfect sense that they just flipped the vote to Yes on Measure ER which will increase sales tax, thereby making their life more unaffordable. Nothing to see here.

Castro loving Communist bitch versus a socialist DSA bitch

Those are the choices for la mayor

New: State Assembly candidate Conrad Blackburn boasted about not voting for the Democratic Party’s presidential candidates in either 2016 or 2024 — and called Donald Trump’s first election “a necessary evil."

[Chris Sommerfeldt @C_Sommerfeldt]

In his DSA endorsement questionnaire last year, Blackburn also boasted of voting for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 + 2020 presidential primaries.

But there's no record of him voting in either primary, a discrepancy his team blames on Florida Republicans.

I don’t care what anyone says, the IDC was a net benefit to the state and I wish they were still around now.

[Zephyr Teachout 🇺🇸 @ZephyrTeachout]

One thing I remember Espaillat doing is going all out for an IDC candidate and thereby helping maintain Republican control in the New York Senate, impacting housing, education, clean air and water, for starters.

[daniela @daniela__127]

This is a lie.

Espaillat endorsed Marisol Alcantara for State Senate in 2016. She won & joined the IDC. Because of this, in 2018 Espaillat DID NOT ENDORSE HER and she lost her primary.

Zephyr is lying. Or she’s confused because she’s never set foot in Manhattan above 145th St.

Meanwhile in the outer boroughs…

@ClistonBrown @deanbphillips Sounds reasonable to me.

@eazy145 @AdamGoldberg28 The haters didn’t grow up around people like Jey and his family, and I will leave it at that. I’m figuring out some of the symptoms of Bloodline Derangement Syndrome amongst the IWC.

This is why we can't have nice things.
Kudos to the guy calling them out.
It is OUR city why ya gotta act a fool?

[amNewYork™ @amNewYork]

Two of New York City's top fiscal watchdogs are set to warn the City Council Tuesday that Mayor Zohran Mamdani's first budget relies so heavily on one-time measures and accounting maneuvers that the city's structural deficit is only getting worse. https://t.co/COMK2Vw3ez

[Rich Azzopardi @RichAzzopardi]

Well … duh.

[Legal Phil @Legal_Fil]

Talarico doesn’t believe this, of course. But it shows that he is finally understanding that he can’t run to be New York’s third senator.

It is like when an obviously pro-life Republican feigns a view because he or she is running in a blue state.

[Make L.A. Great Again 🇺🇸 @lalovestrump]

Nobody believes all the ballot drops actually favored Raman at 40% .. above Bass even

Nobody

[Eli @UpstateNYe]

@0_yessir @wyddmattt @LostFrisco No you’re not. Vast majority of fans enjoy Jey.
