Some personal news:

- I was elected Mayor of Middleburgh, New York, last Tuesday.

Defeating my opponent 216-178 in a hotly contested election, we focused on infrastructure, getting things done on a local level, and providing experienced and competent leadership in office.

Trout's success is uniquely great for Major League Baseball.

Unless we are launching a daring raid to seize northern New Jersey, New York is not welcoming anything World Cup.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

New York is ready to welcome the World Cup! ⚽️

🚨 The House just passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226-195 to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia.

[Tim Zadorozhnyy @timzadorozhnyy]

NEW: The U.S. House is expected to vote on a Ukraine aid bill in early June after lawmakers bypassed Speaker Johnson, a source tells me.

The bipartisan bill would expand sanctions on Russia and approve additional military and financial aid for Kyiv.

Last year, The Atlantic gave me $10K to gamble with. What started as a journalistic gimmick turned into something more... unnerving.

My cover story on the online betting boom warping sports, culture, politics, and the psyches of millions of young men: https://t.co/h8O1ow6Uwi

Platner is an antisemitic joke and he needs to be shown the door in Maine and Democratic politics.

This is basically my position on a potential war with Iran: not necessarily opposed, but where is the argument to the American people and to Congress that this is in our best interest?

[Jacob N. Kornbluh @jacobkornbluh]

Gov. Shapiro on Iran:

“You will find no sympathy from me when it comes to the Iranians, but what I want to see from our commander in chief is clear purpose, clear intentions, clear directives. I think he owes the American people that answer before engaging in military action.”

We need one more signature to vote on a discharge petition to force a vote for more weapons to Ukraine and tough sanctions on Russia. I’ve signed and have been working to get the 218th signature needed.

The tickets offered by Democrats and Republicans for this year's New York Gubernatorial Election are just flavors of mediocrity.

Whereas Hochul/Adams are known mediocrity, Blakeman/Hood are unknown mediocrity.

Twenty million New Yorkers and these are the four we get. Oof.

[Timothy Knight 🇺🇲🇷🇸🇺🇦 @timkni]

I am not particularly thrilled or impressed with either Democratic choice for Lt. Governor here in New York. It appears the prerequisite for consideration was being a failed candidate for Mayor.

[Timothy Knight 🇺🇲🇷🇸🇺🇦 @timkni]

Given how her previous two Lieutenant Governors have fared in the job, I cannot imagine there is a long waiting list to serve in the worst office in New York State.

[Rebecca C. Lewis @_rebeccaclewis]

Per sources familiar, Gov. Hochul approached Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez about being LG a few weeks ago, requesting he submit vetting materials. Sources say he has not made a decision on what he would do yet. @bern_hogan reported Jamaal Bailey and Donovan Richards said no to Hochul

Our latest forecast has increased snow totals by a couple inches for most of the region except for the I-84 corridor where sleet this evening could cut down on snowfall amounts. Snow will generally be light and fluffy, and could accumulate at 1-3" per hr at times this PM/evening
