Sure the democrats caved on the shutdown, but at least they got nothing in return.

IDK what is better, @ZohranKMamdani winning the election or knowing that @andrewcuomo’s career in politics is finally dead.

This is a tragedy. Dick Cheney was a murderous war criminal - and he should have been tried for his crimes. According to a Brown University study, between 4.5-4.7 million people died in the post-9/11 wars. It's on us to make sure today's war criminals don't cheat justice.
Dick Cheney, the influential GOP vice president to George W. Bush and chief architect of the "war on terror," has died. He was 84. https://t.co/BnVjNGVdft

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country. All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year. All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

I’ve gotten food stamps before, although it’s been awhile. The most I ever got was $200 and I worked almost the entire time. I spent every dollar of my food stamps on food. That’s $50 a week. This isn’t luxury, food stamps is not enough to feed yourself.

Democrats need to isolate people like this if they want to win but instead they hire people like this to ensure they lose by going after the non-existant "centerist" (aka hard right in most political spectrums).
America is not on Indigenous land, and members of the party need to stop saying it at their events. https://t.co/qSyI0qhTBc

40% of SNAP recipients are kids, 18% are elderly, 11% are disabled and of the rest, ~70% already have jobs. So unless your company’s hiring Junior Juice Box Interns, grandma and her walker, or knows how to fit more hours in a day, maybe cool it with the “just get a job” takes.

YIMBYs are cop loving neoliberal centerists. abundance for policing. note that our big dense cities have very low crime rates so this has nothing to do with safety, just hatred of the poor, on brand for YIMBYs.
This is why I am willing to talk plainly about public safety and order. If we want to reurbanize our cities and build denser and more walkable neighborhoods, we have to take concerns about crime seriously. If we take them seriously, a large part of the NIMBY opposition goes away

Does no one understand economics at all?
If SNAP disappeared, grocery store prices would plummet

They aren’t even ashamed or quiet about being bigots anymore.
Islamophobia is a fake term made up to silence us. We’re allowed to not want Islam taking over American cities. Don’t be shamed out of that totally sensible position.

For every YIMBY claiming their movement actually cares about ensuring housing is built for poor people or renters. 👇
They’re going to do rent stabilization and inclusionary zoning and the inevitable result will be that housing construction and investment will halt When that happens, there’ll be no new inventory and every person above the median income will be completely screwed as rents soar

No, the cost of housing is determined by the ability to pay and the relative value of the land. That’s why a 3000 square foot house sells for $12M in Pacific Heights and the same house in Danville, Kentucky sells for $600k. There aren’t a lot of billionaires or tech coders making

I never thought I would see Fox News and the NY Post demand the Republican drop out so a Democrat could win. They are so scared of @ZohranKMamdani that they would fight for the disgraced democrat sexual predator former governor over a Republican.
"It burns to write this, but: It’s time for Curtis Sliwa to face reality, and admit that the city’s best hope to avoid the disaster of a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty is for him to drop out of the race," the New York Post editorial board writes.

My entire timeline is full of the worst people in NYC posting pictures with @ZohranKMamdani’s face and logo prominently while saying what he will do to materially improve the lives of average NYers in an attempt to sway people to vote for a sexual predator. Great tactic!
