@Amelendez71 @NY1 @NYCMayor What’s his approval rating?

The fact there are more than 100,000 potholes means the materials they use to pave the streets is crap and doesn't last. Instead of taking credit in filling the 100,000th pothole & looking for an opportunity to pose in front of a camera, the @NYCMayor should be doing the job he was elected to do. That's why the city is falling apart faster than his approval rating.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani helped fill the 100,000th pothole of his administration on Staten Island Monday. The mayor said it’s the most potholes the Department of Transportation has filled in the first 100 days of a year in more than a decade.

@Popstonox @luxeprogressive This is what I sound like 10 beers deep

Conservative journalist Nick Shirley gives his speech at CPAC 2026 "America's the greatest country in the world. And people like to act like it's not, but meanwhile all the other countries had thousands of years to do it, w– we had 250 years to do it. And whatever made us the greatest country in those 250 years we need to make sure that remains that same way or else we will fall and the critics will win and we will not beco– we will not stay the greatest country, in the world."

@PressSec Why?

The U.S. military is decimating the terrorist Iranian regime: “So far, we’ve struck over 8,000 military targets, including 130 Iranian vessels – constituting the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II.” - Admiral Cooper

@KenCook_KC @Simon_Ingari That’s not the way it works if you unionize.

Having lived in the corporate world most of my life in a management role, I can tell you why this is. The way to advance your compensation in the corporate world is to ensure you are moving up the career track ladder, which of course means taking on more difficult jobs with increased responsibilities. Now most people don't like to hear that. But they need to understand that if they stay in their current role, all they can ever count on is that paltry "merit" raise, which barely keeps up with the cost of living. Most corporations want their employees moving up or out. That's just the way it is.

Why do companies give 1%, 3%, or 5% raises to their current employees, but 10%, 15%, 20%, or 35%+ more to new hires?

@BowTiedYukon @ICEgov They work for the government right?

@ICEgov Weird how all the people who want them to show their face think antifa and protesters have a right to wear a mask

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from ICE!

@creepydotorg Would be cool if Sauron flipped people off with the one ring to rule them all on his middle finger.

Bro almost had a heart attack while assembling this statue of Sauron.

@Noahpinion Yall are fucking idiots. Is embarrassing.

Mamdani came out of the emerging Islamoleftist subculture and power bloc. He wants to disavow it, which is great. But that bloc still exists, and it will keep influencing our politics for many years to come.

@mattyglesias Seems like basic economic concepts have been failing the economy because US schooled economists are taught to never think outside the box. Just continue to retread failing neoliberal ideals. That’s why the US economy is awful for the majority of Americans.

@NicholasTyrone You could liken it to MAGA and the Epstein files.

It is astounding how pretty much the entire left have given up on climate change as an issue. It was omnipresent for ages, and now it barely features at all in leftist discourse. Sort of makes you wonder if their commitment to it was ever real.

I thought all the rich people were going to leave New York. Instead they’re leaving the US stock market…

@Noahpinion I’m sure there are millions of Americans that just want a home to call their own (especially younger people). I think a lot of people would choose a small shitty house vs a small shitty apartment because at least your money isn’t just disappearing into the landlord abyss

The wackiest populist argument for why middle-class Americans are actually poor is "Americans didn't want to buy bigger houses; corporations MADE them buy bigger houses" Bro WTF are you even talking about, have you MET Americans?!

@WallStreetApes Why doesn’t he move somewhere he can afford? Like Texas or whatever.

Real Estate Property Manager says property taxes are so high in New York City, even after raising rents to $3,200 per month he only nets $500 of profit off each unit “I finished the building, I got the tax bill, $26,000. Here I am 5 years later, it's $40,000 a building Three families. So I had to raise the rents to $3,200 because I have an apartment and a half just for the taxes and the water bill. The other apartment and a half, remember it's 3, pays the mortgage and pays the insurance I net 500 on each brand new building. That's not business. No, it's a disaster.” “I'll give you one more. I got a building that I first started in Bay Ridge, 20 family house. All right. I renovated it. I fixed it up and I made it still affordable. When I first bought the building, it was $32,000. Five years later, it's $78,000” Property taxes are out of control and driving up rent prices

@mattyglesias @superwuster What happens is, It’s still really expensive

@mattyglesias Gotta win over the right somehow.

@DallasAptGP unfortunately it's just a huge uncultured parking lot of urban sprawl

The Texas Triangle DFW, Houston, Austin, San Antonio - cheap land, low cost of living, no state income tax, business friendly Name another region offering this much economic opportunity... What's holding you back from Texas?

@elonmusk An article written by teslalarry ha ha.

@ProofofworkGuy @Ret_Wo3 @JoeyMannarinoUS Naw that's student loans ha ha

A 50-year mortgage is a horrible idea. I don’t see how that helps the problem. Ban Blackrock from buying homes, maybe?

@WSJ Too be universally hated by all employees and made fun behind their backs?

Everybody can identify what makes a great boss: vision, empathy, intelligence. But there’s one important trait many people don’t know. on.wsj.com/4qJvHOE

@mattyglesias 💸💸💸 it's about money obviously
