We’re turning the tide in South America. Now it’s time to do the same in the cities here at home.🇺🇸

Back to reality from a rather nice weekend.

Totally hijacked agency in the grips of Private Equity with their only mission is to ban Private car ownership

RT @EricsRambles: As predicted, Flatbush Ave street redesign is unmitigated disaster. Mike Flynn's @nyc_dot is full of incompetent car-hati…

The NYC Department of Transportation Alternatives should be placed under receivership until the rot can be excised from the agency, top to bottom. Nearly every measurable metric under its watch has deteriorated, yet the agency continues to behave like an ideological planning shop instead of a basic municipal department responsible for safe, functional streets. It's time to prioritize competency again.

My wife really enjoyed seeing one of her favorite bands, @SmashingPumpkin, for our anniversary last night. What a great way to celebrate.

Happy Anniversary, @heidi4brooklyn! It’s been an interesting 17 years, that’s for sure. Here’s to whatever comes next. 🥂

The year was AD 2026. Starbucks discovered the Freddo Espresso and named it some silly shit, Aerocano. There’s one thing they’ll never have that the Greeks have mastered. Finesse. Say no to Starbucks and support your local businesses everyone.

Great seeing our Republican candidates crushing it at the @Asianwave_org forum tonight, including @SteveChanForNY, @amlesterchangny, John Ricottone, and @sarithaforny. Great event by @ycinnewyork and all the organizers who worked hard to pull it together. Awesome seeing Councilman @philwongnyc fighting for the right to wok.

I guess those basket weaving degrees aren't in such high demand at tech companies...🙄

Zohran Mamdani is reportedly using his taxpayer-funded influencer army to smear New York CEOs who oppose him raising taxes. He’s driving businesses out. That means more of the tax burden falls on the people who stay. The New York Post reported tonight that Mamdani’s inner circle, the bullpen, is planning coordinated hits on business leaders, including Pfizer’s Albert Bourla, Related Companies’ Jeff Blau, and Steve Fulop at the Partnership for New York City. The point is to soften the ground for Mamdani’s tax-the-rich push heading into 2027. Misusing taxpayer funds to attack constituents isn’t new for Mamdani. City Hall already runs a Signal group of about 200 creators. They get talking points and they’re paid to spread them. Some of that money has moved through city contracts. Mamdani’s office says it doesn’t pay people to cover him. It just pays to advertise for him. That shouldn’t be legal. New York doesn’t need a mayor who treats CEOs like content or the enemy. If his policies were good, he’d argue them. They’re not. So he hired a troll farm and called it communications. Voters should remember they paid for smears against the businesses that keep the city afloat. Mamdani only “balanced” his first budget by taking billions from New York State and kicking pension interest down the road. That isn’t fiscal responsibility. Now he’s attacking CEOs of the companies he needs to stay and calling them the problem. His spending well over a billion a year on services for migrants is a problem. If he wasn’t doing that, he could’ve balanced the budget without a bailout. Mamdani is already a fiscal failure. He’s making it worse by spending tax dollars to chase off the tax dollars he needs, then paying influencers to sell a socialist fairy tale. When that money dries up, the influencers leave. Without the propaganda, the record is just the record. That’s when it gets real ugly for Mamdani.

New York shouldn’t be lowering the bar, it should be raising it. Getting rid of standards doesn’t help students. It cheats them.

For years the NYC sewer system cannot handle the smallest amount of rain and anytime it rains streets get completely flooded homes and destroyed causing Millions if not billions of dollars per year. We have a new @NYCMayor like him or not he's still the mayor, I'm hoping since we have someone new in the office that he will listen to New Yorkers and start putting some time and manpower into fixing this issue that's been happening for years. If he fixes this sewer issue this would be a massive win for him and his team.

Anthony, Zohran Mamdani’s job is mayor of New York City, not “one of the country’s top diplomats.” Residents are dealing with garbage on their streets and flooded blocks. New Yorkers still have to live with the piss poor job he’s doing here. Flooding photo credit: @NycStormChaser

I keep pointing this out, but after hurricane Sandy in 2012 NYC was given billions to fix the drainage in the neighborhoods that had severe flooding. These are the same exact neighborhoods that flood every year since Sandy. They wasted the money & blame climate change for it now

Huge storm and flooding in NYC today. This is 4th Ave and Carroll St in Brooklyn, which is near Gowanus Canal, a superfund site. Reminder: Do not go in the flood waters, it contains pathogens and is a threat to human health.
