@johnondrasik @historyrock_ Just stop. Your music has narrated some of the most important parts of my life. I love my Zep but their music lacks the depth and human connection your does.

@SenRickScott Wasn't this the result of the war that they started to wipe out Israel in its infancy? Victims of their own actions, again.

“Nakba” is Arabic for catastrophe. The only catastrophe here is a mayor of New York who lets antisemitic mobs run wild to terrorize law-abiding Jewish New Yorkers while he spreads anti-Israel propaganda.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

@TimHannan It was unanimous you dolt. Not even KBJ tried to save it.

The Supreme Court is not even pretending to be impartial anymore. Republicans can redistrict but Democrats can’t.

D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood? What about Long Island statehood?
Albany has driven one of the largest outmigrations in New York history, and Long Island should lead the way out.
We are done funding upstate failures.
We are done absorbing unfunded mandates.
We are done bearing sanctuary policies that endanger our neighborhoods.
Long Island has the population, the economy, and the will to govern itself.

@GovKathyHochul You don't get to gut my neighborhood for your projects. We will fight back.

For too long, NIMBY culture has blocked the housing New Yorkers need. Not anymore.
In New York City and across the state, we’re cutting red tape, bringing down costs, and letting them build.

@MarkLevineNYC There are over 50,000 empty, ghost apartments out there. Why? I know why.
English
NEW: Manhattan rents just hit another record high.
Median rent for market-rate apartments in April reached $5,099/month. Up 6% in past year. Vacancy down to 1.55%.
This is what a housing shortage looks like: intense demand, too few homes, and rents pushed higher and higher.
It's more urgent than ever: we need to expand the supply of housing here, including affordable housing.

@sfmcguire79 This is great news but those students should be disciplined. This only encourages them to do it again.

BREAKING: Cornell’s Board of Trustees is standing behind President Kotlikoff.
They’ve determined that the behavior of the protestors who followed him and blocked his vehicle was “inconsistent with university policies governing expressive activity.”
Key points:
“The individual at the scene who
reported that the vehicle made contact refused medical treatment from the EMS team and refused to provide sworn statements as to their account of the incident.”
“The Committee has determined that the investigation conducted by CUPD was done pursuant to existing policies without any bias or undue influence.”
“The Tompkins County District Attorney's office…determined that no criminal charges were warranted against any individuals involved in this matter.”
“President Kotlikoff has declined to pursue a complaint against the students involved, which would have been required to initiate action under the university's code of conduct.”
“Appropriate action is being taken against the non-students involved.”

@byelin That's nice. Deceive the public for your own gains? You're very scary people.
English
I think it's very important that we stop talking so publicly about this stuff and just do it if we win power.
I'm not hte first one to make this point, but Utah Republicans didn't campaign on packing the courts. There weren't think pieces on it. They just did it quietly.

Kamala Harris is now calling for Democrats to hold a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” where they discuss: - Abolishing the Electoral College - Packing the Supreme Court - Making Puerto Rico and D.C. states “We’ve got to neutralize these red states from cheating!”

@ericadamsfornyc And you welcomed the busses and offered handshakes.
English
Correct, we did have a hole, caused by the tens of thousands of migrants who poured into our city while the Biden Administration stood by, did absolutely nothing, and left New York to deal with the crisis they created.
I made the tough cuts necessary to close that gap, without the state giving us a pass on class size mandates and other measures, cuts the current Mayor and his socialist comrades in the City Council loudly protested at the time.
The job of a mayor is to make hard choices, not politically convenient ones, by the time I left, NYC had 8 billion dollars left in reserves.

@ericadamsfornyc Bro you literally said yourself there was a 12 billion dollar hole.

@KathyHochul I love Blakeman. It's been nearly impossible to live here since before the war anyway. You've failed.

Gas and oil prices are sky-high. Inflation jumped up. All thanks to Donald Trump.
He’s screwing over Americans and doesn’t give a damn about hurting families’ wallets.
Bruce Blakeman is cheering him on.

@hersades1989 @charlescwcooke Because VA Dems made a winning legal argument that - by VA law - the referendum vote itself is part of the "law making" process, and until a law is actually made, the court had nothing to adjudicate.
English
AOC spreads the same lie: The Democrats, in litigation, demanded that the VA Supreme Court wait until after the referendum was complete. The court agreed, concurring that this was precedent. Now the Democrats are attacking the court for agreeing with it. x.com/Acyn/status/20…
Acyn@Acyn
AOC: What is extremely disturbing about what has happened in Virginia is this court overturned the will of three million Virginians. They can say what they want about the ballot initiative, but they explicitly chose to issue this ruling after the election happened. They had all the time in the world to issue an opinion or an injunction before allowing this election to happen. They did not overturn a map—they overturned an election. It is the power of the American people that should be the ultimate check on all three branches. The court’s ability to overturn an election that was clear in its result should be something that is called into question.

Hearing from longtime friends @nytimes there are already discussions, including up the masthead, about retracting @NickKristof column. Issues with source credibility and lack of evidence. No indications the Kristof sourcing mistakes were deliberate. Still problematic:

@lawler4ny Hard to take you seriously after you admitted to pushing for mass amnesty. You lost my vote.

The Democrats created this absurd campaign finance system — wasting $100M of taxpayer money — and then tried to weaponize it to deny the GOP candidate access to it.
The lengths NY Dems have gone to corrupt our elections by violating the constitution, the laws, and the regulations are truly unparalleled.
The court made the right decision.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is abandoning his proposal to hike taxes on all New York City property owners, following widespread criticism over the initiative on.wsj.com/3PBLykA

@anna_bahr @ZohranKMamdani Um, my state taxes paid for that $4b bailout. Makers and takers. You're a bunch of leeches.
English
Lots of people out there asking if a Democratic Socialist can manage a budget.
@ZohranKMamdani inherited a $12 billion deficit.
He rejected the failed politics of austerity & drove that gap down to ZERO.
(+funded parks, libraries & made historic investments in public housing)
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.

@NYGovPress What did you get done? You gave him more of my tax dollars. Sickening.
