[Joe @JoePostingg]

I do think all the moderates who had hair on fire hysterical freakouts about squeaky clean Mamdani kind of blew their credibility

[Gerald a Talker @Jar_a_Walker]

Ben’s is a DC institution/landmark and should be celebrated. But if you’re saying that’s your favorite restaurant in the city you can’t be my mayor cuz why’re you lying to us

I am not even sure if I'm going to rank Rini - I've seen a few things from her I don't like - but stuff like this contributes to why people don't trust the process. Qualifying for the debate should have full clear, transparent and objective criteria.

[Rini Sampath @RiniSampath]

They set the criteria. We met the criteria. Now they won't let us into the debate. We are a ballot-qualified campaign with 1,000+ donations, and we are ready to provide a full verification packet. Tag @fox5dc and @Georgetown in the comments and ask them why a qualified candidate is being kept off the debate stage. Ranked choice voting only works when voters get to hear from the full field.

Am I reading too much into the fact that she spells Briahna's name wrong only to QT her 2 tweets down? 🤔

[Natalie Wynn @ContraPoints]

So Briahna Joy Grey, Jill Stein voter, invites me on her podcast “Bad Faith.” My friends tell me, “Don’t do it, Bad Faith is known for being bad faith.” I say I’ll do it anyway because, 1 losing debates to bad faith people is an integral part of my artistic process and 2,

@311DCgov my recycling collection was missed, and I can't report it in the app because the map at the selecting address stage goes haywire

@Vanessa_ABee I had a feeling this was where things were going as he presented the wealth tax/property tax/cuts dilemma but I didn't/don't want to get my hopes up

She has politically triangulated between the left and the centrists, and all that effort will be lost if the centrists are beaten back. And on top of that she becomes a centrist herself, having tolerated the likes of Jeffries where Ossé and his supporters have not.

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

NEW: I asked @AOC about Chi Ossé filing paperwork to run against Hakeem Jeffries.

“I certainly don't think a primary challenge to the leader is a good idea right now,” she told @axios

@DCDHCD is there a way to get in touch with someone here? Repeated calls and emails have not been returned.

[abw @hyperboleesh]

@briebriejoy I'm just thinking about how (right or wrong) Bernie said this years ago and was called misogynistic....

[abw @hyperboleesh]

This is what I'll be doing if Dems run a shit candidate in 2028

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

CNN: Mamdani, are you going to vote for him?

CHUCK SCHUMER: We're continuing to talk.

CNN: The vote is on Tuesday; what are you gonna do?

CHUCK SCHUMER: [walks away]

[abw @hyperboleesh]

House Dems, especially vulnerable ones, should be using this time to go out in their districts doing on the ground community work and talking loudly about it. So should Dem candidates in Republican districts.

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

And... there it is

Announcement is made: US House will be out of session again next week

[abw @hyperboleesh]

@oyorooms I stayed at OYO when I was in NYC and I am still not able to obtain itemized receipts for two charges they made. I have tried calling both numbers I had (one no answer, one couldn't recover my booking), emailed, followed instructions for a chat assistant (didn't work).

[abw @hyperboleesh]

True story, I was in NYC for a full week, with a dog that likes to hunt rats, and I saw zero rats.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

The rats have been a disturbance in New York City for too long, and now we have the high ground.

[abw @hyperboleesh]

Nadeau was my councilperson for 3 years. I didn't always agree with her, but she was often a strong progressive voice on the council that I think got it right most of the time. Fingers crossed @aparnafordc is the next Ward 1 councilperson!

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

NEWS: @BrianneKNadeau says she will *not* be running for re-election to the Ward 1 seat on the D.C. Council, setting the stage for what is already looking to be a crowded and competitive race.

[abw @hyperboleesh]

I saw a video of him saying we should be more like South Korea. He didn't mean it in the way I mean it but I did agree with that statement

[db 🖤 @dbcxptures]

‘I didn’t agree with everything he said’

What…did you…agree…with?

[abw @hyperboleesh]

If you buy that the Dems exist to primarily hoard money and pay a consultant class (as opposed to their main goal being to actually oppose the republicans, and win so they can do that more effectively), this is actually kind of true right

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Imagine saying this with a straight face

[abw @hyperboleesh]

A huge failure on the part of the journalists here to let him just straight up lie like this without any pushback. It's one thing not to push back on opinions (bad as they might be) but unforgivable not to push back on blatant misinformation.

[Jacob N. Kornbluh @jacobkornbluh]

ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt suggests Zohran Mamdani “believes” in the ‘Globalize the Intifada’ slogan because he won’t condemn it and questions why Mamdani hasn’t visited a single synagogue + “hasn’t been to any mainstream Jewish institution.”

[abw @hyperboleesh]

And this bot responding to me is equally bizarre lol. Shouldn't it at least be quippy or something https://t.co/h4YINQkggh

[abw @hyperboleesh]

This is so bizarre. Prob implicates a set of reliable voters (people in rent stabilized housing that make as much as/more than Zohran), him moving out wouldn't guarantee housing for a single homeless mother (?), and Zohran's law wouldn't actually remove Zohran if it existed lol

[Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo]

Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children again slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani continue to occupy her rent-stabilized apartment.

It’s been 10 days since the world found out. You went on a weeklong distraction tour as the pressure builds. But the facts have only become more damning.

You claim you didn’t know the apartment was rent-stabilized when you moved in. But you also say you were working as a foreclosure prevention counselor at the time. Your job was to read leases. Rent-stabilized leases clearly and repeatedly say they are “rent stabilized”. Are New Yorkers to believe that you didn’t read your own lease? There’s not a single person in New York who doesn’t know that they are in a rent stabilized unit! New Yorkers are not fools.

In 2020, your state financial disclosure stated you made virtually no income. How did you qualify for the lease and pay your rent? Why the mystery? What are you hiding?

The median income for a household with a rent stabilized apartment is $60,000.  Today, you make $142,000 a year (as the NYT reported, $142,000 is the 90% income percentile in New York City) plus you get paid state stipends and your wife also works. What is your household income?

We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of people desperately need the rent stabilized apartment you occupy. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. Struggling families need this housing.

I’ve proposed Zohran’s law to make sure that moving forward, when rent stabilized apartments come on the market, by law they go to people who need them. In your case, for a man who campaigns on principle and moral clarity, I reiterate my call for you to end your hypocrisy and move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to a family who need it. Time to move out.
