Hochul's de-facto dictatorship over the MTA is why it's better run than any other American transit agency. Most agencies are run by a labyrinth of committees, agencies, counties, and cities, which slows progress to a trickle.
See: every transit agency in California.
Kathy Hochul is the first governor from upstate NY in about a century. She might also be New York City's biggest transit supporter in decades.

new breakup excuse dropped
I’d been dating an MTA man off & on over a period of like 6 years. We basically stopped seeing each other bc of Congestion Pricing. He already pays it plus bridge tolls to get from his home in East NY to the depot in Harlem where he works. Coming to visit me inside the zone a few times per week as well, not to mention driving for our formerly frequent weekend getaways to AC became a hardship & no way he’d ever let me pay instead

One race I think people are overestimating Republicans on is Nebraska. Osborn lost by 6 in 2020, it's surprising that his chances of winning hover around 30%.

Personally id like to see it killed or reduced to ≤55 seats. The status quo where neither party can pass legislation without a landslide victory that polarization has rendered near-impossible, is silly.

For dems to get a fillibuster-proof senate they'd need to win every competitive seat 2026 and 2028 (NC,WI,IA). Possible, but very very unlikely. If democrats (or the GOP) want to do anything other than taxes they'll need to break the filibuster.

If Democrats can win 53 seats, they'll be virtually guaranteed a senate majority until 2030.

there's not much of a difference between a $100 pizza and a $10 pizza but the difference between a $1 and $10 pizza is astronomical
