@DDetector18006 @Jaytex45 @SirMichaelRocks Be careful your talking points aren’t fed to you to manufacture consent. For example are you willing to pay .3% more for price increases in exchange for a 10% increase in pay? Do you agree the status quo of the rich eating your lunch is unsustainable?

Can somebody educated in politics explain to me how Mamdani is able to do all this stuff but no other politician is ever able to make any noticeable progress? How does he evade the same bureaucracy the other politicians always blame for not being able to do shit?

@DDetector18006 @Jaytex45 @SirMichaelRocks They are related in impact to consumers but the main difference is that government cannot dictate costs which are set by private industry. What they can control are taxes, minimum wages, deductions, etc. Are you saying you’d like government to seize control of consumer prices?

@UniteBlueNY @Jaytex45 @SirMichaelRocks You honestly dont see the relationship between affordability and cost? Its the same damn thing. NYC is one of the most expensive places in america to live. You dispute that?

@DDetector18006 Of course there is a relationship, but that’s not what you asked. The reason you pivoted from affordability to cost is because you realized Dems DID pass a bunch of affordability policies. So now you’re lying about the intelligence of Democrats…?

@BillAckman @melissadderosa Zohran had a simple fix but Hochul wanted to kick the can down the road. The reason the ultra rich pay the bulk of the taxes is because they have all the $$, duh. As disparity grows to historic levels, remember Zohran’s hikes wouldn’t impact your lifestyle in the slightest!

How is getting $8 billion from State coffers and $2.3 billion from deferring pension payments bringing a budget down to zero? The same NYC taxpayers that pay the bulk of NYC taxes are paying the $8 billion of state taxes that are funding the budget gap. This budget ‘fix’ is robbing Peter to pay Paul and it didn’t work out well for either of them.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

@UniteBlueNY @Jaytex45 @SirMichaelRocks Its not that things are unaffordable It's the currency itself There is nothing "the mayor" can do to make things more affordable when your currency loses 5% of its value every year

This is what local accountability looks like: In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67. Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent. Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points. Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed. Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥

@Jaytex45 @SirMichaelRocks NYC is the real earning engine for the state, with only 40% of the people. Mamdani wants to raise taxes on the ultra-rich to make life more affordable for the everyday person. Sounds good, right?

Everyone needs to watch @Justinjpearson's floor speech from the TN State House. "Today, you will take the only Black-majority district from us. But I want you to know: No matter what you do, no matter how much you try to break us & make us bend & quit — we will still be here."

@ericadamsfornyc This man is not trying to be a mayor in the sense of good governance. He's trying to lead a communist revolution in the city at the same time making it a very hostile place for Jews to reside and welcoming Muslim agitation 24/7. He wants to destroy the city.

There was never a $12 billion hole in the budget. That fairy tale was cooked up to justify reckless spending and political theater. I left the incoming administration with $8 billion in reserves, not a financial apocalypse. Albany election-year bailouts are not a long-term economic strategy. The free money dries up after Election Day, but the bloated “free” programs stay forever. And here’s the part the socialists in City Hall never want to admit: the millionaires and billionaires they love demonizing already pay roughly 40% of NYC’s taxes. Keep demonizing the people creating jobs, investing in this city, and carrying the tax base, and eventually they’ll stop investing here altogether. Facts are stubborn things. Even when some politicians aren’t.

@mrshawnff @jean_twenge @RioGrandeFndn The whole idea of the school is to serve kids that are behind so why would anyone be surprised. Oh, I see you shared “Gateway Pundit” who paid huge settlements $$ for lying… Our failed NCLB system ensures at-risk will never catch up because they are tested by age not ability.

@justicedems @Justinjpearson Districts drawn along racial lines are racist. They are unconstitutional. We all knew it for years. We couldn't do anything about it. Finally the Supreme Court has ruled in this matter. That should end it right there. It won't because the Democrats are racist to their core.
