@lizkimtweets @brigidbergin The 1964 World’s Fair lost money, lots of it. And given the state of the world today it’s questionable if many nations could or would join. Unless this is a poison pill for the DSA mayor, Cats should drop it asap.

John Catsimatidis tells me he proposed that Mayor Mamdani organize a World’s Fair similar to the one in 1964. He said he told the mayor he’d charge him the same price for his ideas as he does Trump—a cup of coffee. Only water was had today though.

@davidplouffe @EMPIREREPORTNY His cuts are minimal. But this is cute.

I suppose "Republicans for Higher Property Taxes" doesn't sound as snappy as "Fix Tier 6." @NYS_AM

@HeyNowJO @musingmuttering Like watching old fight films…

I was part of a remarkable era in NYC politics, filled with all time greats like @musingmuttering. I'm not looking to pick at old wounds, but this clip captures Doug’s enthusiasm and what made him so good.
For the record, I won that wager. What's the interest after 20 years?

@crunchtimejo I guess he didn’t stay at the plate to admire his hit, flip his bat, and start skipping down the baseline…

@AlexSJacquez @NYCMayor It is not a fiscal crisis, historic or otherwise. Cut back on half the budgeted increases and there is more that enough to close the “gap”
English
🚨 NEW from me: @NYCMayor inherited a historic budget gap from Eric Adams. He has three options to close it: drastically cut vital services New Yorkers rely on, raise property taxes on working families, or ask millionaires to pay a little bit more.
Here's what you need to know:

@RonFilipkowski In 1935-36 the US had effectively no military. Didn’t start ramping up until 39-40 and it took a few years to get scale.

Dershowitz says if Trump had been president in 1935-36 instead of FDR the Holocaust wouldn’t have happened because Trump would’ve taken out Hitler and the Nazis.
English
@RpsAgainstTrump Does Mr Dershowitz know how unprepared for war we were in 2935-36?
English
Dershowitz: Had Trump been in charge in 1936, I think the Holocaust would have been prevented.
I think he would have gone after Nazi Germany; he would have destroyed it the way he is destroying Nazi Iran.

@PolicyEngineer @mikegscala Wouldn’t this be the same argument for those in Tier 5, 4,3,2a. Even Tier2. Come to think of it.
English
@mikegscala Do you know how many tens of billions of dollars this retroactive pension increase would cost?
English
Public employees, from teachers to first responders, deserve our respect. It's time we look out for them by fixing Tier 6 so they can enjoy the same benefits earned by colleagues hired before them.

@PhilSustainable I understood the part about asphalt vs stone but didn’t understand the factory worker bit.
English
@BillCunningham8 I didn’t say that. Suits were the fashion, but a lot of little differences back then meant they probably weren’t dying of heat.
English
That’s a stone street, it reflects heat. Today blacktop is 20F-40F warmer. Or more.
Hunter📈🌈📊@StatisticUrban
It feels truly insane to me that people used to wear full-length cotton suit jackets and dress pants at all times. This is Manhattan in the height of summer, late June 1936! And these are factory workers!

@JCPolancoNYC But they pay taxes so why can’t they send kids to public school programs?

Taxpayer-funded day care, without means testing, is ridiculous.

Pulling down a half-million and still expecting taxpayers to pay for your kid's preschool is really...something.

Remember a year ago, when @ZohranKMamdani stood outside @andrewcuomo’s apartment and said he wouldn’t “pick and choose” the questions he would answer as @NYCMayor ?
Zohran doesn’t. x.com/createcraig/st…
Craig McCarthy@createcraig
Mayor Mamdani is making an announcement via YouTube today and wants reporters submit questions via the chat. Now they can prescreen questions. Just the latest in attempt to limit press —between taking few questions, cherry-picking reporters for events & trying to pool coverage.

@SykesCharlie Actually in a world of weird, Trump asking the PM Why didn’t you tell me …?
English
The weirdest flex, of course, was Trump’s comparison of his own surprise attack to the attack on Pearl Harbor, which FDR called a “day that will live in infamy.”
