Mayor @ZohranKMamdani on cutting down wasteful budget spending:
There was waste. There's also this addiction to consulting. When we looked at the city budget, we realized we had to save money through efficiency. So we set up something called 'Chief Savings Officers' in every department. We saved $94M just by renegotiating contracts to a better rate. We saved $24M by letting go of unused office space. I believe that government has to be the most excellent, efficient version of itself to be worthy of people's trust.
I felt like this had to be said, didn't know if anyone would be interested, but it clearly resonated. I am encouraged lots of folks rightly sense that things are not what they seem & that @BulwarkOnline is an ideological project, not just anti-Trump. https://t.co/wQgy3O2AKr
Jared is a war profiteer who benefits financially when the Israeli military drops more bombs and invades more places. He disclosed none of this because he has decided he doesn't have to comply with ethics rules. The scandal is all the shady stuff we don't know, not this article.
Jon could engage with the facts in my article about @BulwarkOnline, rather than offering up vapid personal insults. But he's not interested in considering - or honestly engaging with - the consequences & complicity of his own media outlet in what I reported in the piece.
We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement.
That is why @AOC, @JeffMerkley and I are introducing the BAN FLOCK Act to block federal funding for automatic license plate readers.
It's not "purity" to distrust party switchers who never renounce the policy agenda of their old party. They are welcome on the bus. But they shouldn't get to drive the bus 5 minutes after they got on, especially if they've never apologized for crashing buses their entire lives.
Is there anyone the IDF doesn’t put in its crosshairs?
They’re terrorists who slaughter unarmed kids, doctors, aid workers and journalists. Now they’re threatening Americans who fund their welfare checks.
This dude, Abdul El-Sayed, is so freaking smart and quick on his feet as he correctly calls JD Vance "low T," and disciplined enough to stay focused on stuff that matters.
Do the right thing, Michigan! 🌊
Medicare for All isn’t a fringe issue. A majority support passing Medicare for All and finally guaranteeing heath care as a human right for every single person in this country. 💜

Want to learn about the history of our city? Get outside with some friends?
Well you’re in luck. This month, we’re hosting a massive scavenger hunt across the city — all about the history of organizing in NYC.

I come from a union family. I'm a union member and a union organizer. Washington politicians are working less and getting richer while everyday people work harder than ever to keep up. Government should work for us. That's why I'm running. #AngieForFlorida
