Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently got the political equivalent of what baseball players call a brushback pitch — a fastball deliberately thrown dangerously close to a batter’s head in order to intimidate the player, who must flinch or duck to avoid a devastating injury. The mayor is getting municipal chin music from the major bond-rating agencies: Moody’s formally changed its outlook on the city’s finances from “stable” to “negative,” and S&P Global Ratings opined that Mamdani’s budget plan will “make it difficult to sustain budgetary balance beyond fiscal years 2026 and 2027.” The negative outlook from the agencies is a warning, writes columnist Errol Louis. The next step could be a downgrade of the city’s bond rating, which would raise the cost of borrowing money for routine city operations. Mamdani maintains that the decision to revise the outlook is premature, pointing out that the city’s overall credit rating remains strong and has not been downgraded. But the message from Wall Street seemed crystal clear: Unless Mamdani adopts a more fiscally conservative approach, we will punish City Hall in the markets.

baby boomer wants $500k for this sensible starter home, and you'll have to put $150k into it as soon as you buy it because boomer hasn't done anything to update it since they bought it 40 years ago for $50k




@Stugloverlives The economy will flatline without immigrants






This is New York's City Hall under Mamdani Islamic rule. The Muslim brotherhood is simply marking his territory..

Giving my Two Weeks after next year’s bonus is gonna hit different

I am proud to stand with @grahamformaine @ZohranKMamdani & join @hasanthehun feed. The problem is with the neocons in our party who blundered into Iraq, 20 years in Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza, & now support the Iran war. Out with the old guard. We need a new moral direction.
