As someone who attended public school K-8 and now has kids in them, his comments confused ME. I understand the DOE system, but I can’t imagine what people unfamiliar with CEC meetings or without kids thought of it.

Local NYC reporters should moderate all debates. National included.

This answer from Sliwa was significantly better than Cuomo’s and I am wildly surprised and at the same time not, because Sliwa was actually in NYC during its hardest years (which are definitively NOT now).

“Harassment and intimidation are illegal” - Andrew Cuomo

Seems sus coming from you… ya know… considering your own track record of harassing and intimidating women and others….

We're 30 minutes into this debate and no one has asked a single question about education, transit, policing, housing, etc etc

My 2.5 year old would beg to differ.

Agreed. He was polling abysmally and his name is still on the ballot. So it changes next to nothing. It just means his donors abandoned him and his campaign is broke.

My take: I think this isn’t a sign that he’s going to get a cushy job somewhere, I think his campaign’s flat out broke

So, the New York Times totally told Bloomberg that, after the comment section got out of control, they couldn’t publish another column like Ezra’s from last week, and he decided to self-publish it instead. Right?

I gotta give them props, the opening to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was pretty good. 👇

In short, Alex Bores has been doing the leg work on both sides of the district, Micah Lasher less so.

This week, I was out w/Manhattan District Leaders. The East Side DLs had either never met or only briefly interacted with Lasher, while the West Side DLs knew Bores well and liked him, even if they planned to support Lasher later. This aligns with my experience with voters on both sides of the park.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

In a shocking turn of events, all 3 escalators are up and running at the 72nd St Q Station for the first time maybe ever.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

As a lifelong Yankee fan: Fuck Mark Teixeira.

This is actually horrifying @nytimes.com. We CAN prevent it. And the fact that you and the gun lobby seem to do everything in your power to keep weapons of war on our streets instead of protecting people is beyond fucked.

Janno Lieber is a legend.
