It's time to pass the New York Health Act. New York and Canada both have $2 trillion economies. Canada is able to provide universal healthcare to 40 million Canadians. There is no reason we can't do the same for 20 million New Yorkers.

@neilblock @jesskcoleman The concept that you can build yr way to affordability in NYC is a theory which has been belied by empirical experience. The economics just don’t support it. Yes, you can build a shining city of new construction, but @ price of displacing those who won’t be able to afford it.

@MM6301982 @jesskcoleman The ratio of housing built to housing needed has simply not kept pace with population growth or household size. It may seem like the city has built a lot of housing but not on the scale needed to keep pace with those trends

@danielsgoldman Is this a new message from Pete’s mom?

English

Daniel Goldman@danielsgoldman·5 Ara

You sent Hegseth’s mom on tv to make a self-serving correction that did nothing to discredit her email but instead argued that he’s changed in the last seven years and now is not an abuser of women. We’re supposed to disbelieve a private email and believe a staged tv interview?

JD Vance@JDVance

Pete Hegseth's mom on Fox and Friends this morning defending her son. She points out that she sent an emotional email, and then apologized two hours later. The media never talks about the apology because they're trying to destroy him, not tell the truth.

@DecodingFoxNews Real ‘warriors’ don’t like to brag and talk about it. My dad served in WW II in Europe from Normandy to the Elbe. He never talked about it and I didn’t know what he saw until I interviewed him for a college project. Hegseth seems like a macho poseur.

Some anonymous sources at Fox News claimed Pete Hegseth sometimes drinks alcohol while working. He openly drank Tennessee whiskey while filming a "The War on Warriors" for Fox Nation - I provide receipts.

@RonFilipkowski One of the most worthless items is a promise from Donald Trump.

@NewellNYC @bradbaumn The challenges we are likely to face are likely to be unprecedented. No way necessarily to prepare. We just need to be ready to react quickly when they come.

/1 Quick thread on a lot of the “what should we do” conversations taking place right now:

San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇺🇸 English

The joke said the quiet part out loud.

David Frum@davidfrum

If Trump loses, Republicans will unite to blame one single ugly joke about Puerto Rico, because it will be too painful to face the truth about Dobbs, January 6, and the toxic repulsiveness of the MAGA movement.

Trump literally channeling Sacha Baron Cohen’s idiot character in the parody “The Dictator” - pointy missiles… youtu.be/BcapKcGvv_s?si…

Trump on Navy war ships: "They're really like yachts, they're like beautiful yachts with a lot of guns on them...I took that ship and I designed the bow a little bit differently. I said no, it's got to have more of a point."

@aaronAcarr Landlords will still need to rent vacant apartments, which are easily listed these days on the internet. If they feel a need to hire broker, LL will be in position to negotiate reduced comm’n. Only party to suffer will be brokers, who may lose income on rental apts.

English

Aaron Carr@aaronAcarr·25 Eki

Sorry but if a broker’s business model relies on forcing tenants to pay for a service they don’t want or need, I think that job is not only useless, but actively harmful, and their jobs should be at risk.

@Jemsinger @gtconway3d @kilmeade Not just in Concentration Camps, but also by Einzatzgrupen murder squads - Holocaust by bullets. After WWII German Generals were tried and convicted by the Allies for this obedience. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Comm…

@HjgTweet @EdWatcherNYC @ebottcher @bradhoylman @JabariBrisport @UFT DOE rules expressly forbade CEC candidates from running together and organizing as slate. PLACENYC got around this by pretending to be a neutral organization that evaluated and endorsed candidates.

English

@MM6301982 @EdWatcherNYC @ebottcher @bradhoylman @JabariBrisport @UFT What precedent? That parents can organize? If teachers can do it, parents can do it too. Especially since UFT isn't even pretending to be in it for the kids. Someone has to be.

English

Erik Bottcher@ebottcher·18 Eki

Community Education Councils in NYC - the equivalent of local school boards - are being taken over by Moms for Liberty-adjacent MAGA forces who are fixated on fearmongering about trans kids. I joined @bradhoylman @JabariBrisport @UFT & others to call attention to what’s going on.

@EdWatcherNYC @ebottcher @bradhoylman @JabariBrisport @UFT PLACENYC set the precedent and DOE did nothing. And PLACENYC pretended to be a neutral evaluating group when in fact it was endorsing its own leaders.

NYC-Education-Watcher@EdWatcherNYC·18 Eki

@MM6301982 @ebottcher @bradhoylman @JabariBrisport @UFT Actually Gavin Healy, Tam Reid and Lupe Hernandez ran as a slate backed by the ultra progressive and extremist MORE caucus of the UFT.

@NewellNYC 2 others: 1) peaceful transfer of power in 2020, & 2) Trump fought to preserve Obamacare. That and he doesn’t support National Abortion Ban.

Paul Newell 紐保羅@NewellNYC·2 Eki

Vance's blatant duck to Walz's direct question "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election" is the takeaway highlight clip so far, even if he's generally been more polished. This ain't over yet.
