Really sharp column by @henrygrabar on how the diminution of the public sector has led to a crippling over reliance on consultants for subways (and everything) — https://t.co/b2aFNq6PlO

@RitaJosephNYC I can't tell, is the odd side of Stratford in and the even side out? Or is the whole street in/out?

In our new op-ed, @leedrutman and I argue that swing voters have far too much power in our elections—and we can fix this with a straightforward (and constitutional!) policy change. https://t.co/XN38p9qMWs

The family of the bicyclist killed in yesterday's crash has set up a fundraiser to help with funeral expenses and care for her two young children, one-and-a-half-year-old Leon and two-month-old Nico. Please help if you can: https://t.co/4I12WLlsZV

This is bullshit.

Don't fall for it.

This is not an aberration. The system is a death trap.

A street like this exists in every neighborhood in this city. You already know where it is in your neighborhood. So does the City of New York.

Here's the problem for the elite political media: To cover the threat to the republic truthfully, they're going to have to write/broadcast things that have collateral benefits to the Democratic Party. No way around it. The point is not to worry about that.

If you are interested in a horse race, I highly recommend just reporting on horse racing. Politics is not horse racing.

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

like, the conspiracy theories aren’t “fueled” by the actual performance of the system, they are fueled by republican politicians and conservative media personalities who are knowingly lying to their audiences about elections.

Full-size semis are everywhere in Flatbush...

...but full-size semis also illegal *everywhere* in NYC...

👀 Has anyone else seen these huge, illegal trucks in our neighborhoods? It can't be just us...

How about we force drivers to push a button in order to get a green light? (Also: this sign is right next to an elementary school.)
