that sound you hear is heads exploding at @ManhattanInst @empirecenter
Kathy Hochul just vetoed common-sense legislation requiring two conductors on every train. While she put riders and transit workers at risk, I stand shoulder to shoulder with @TWULocal100. Conductors are our eyes and ears, and the first line of defense against crime.

This is very good, from the @nytimes metro team: Did Mayor Eric Adams ‘Get Stuff Done’? A Look at His Record on 7 Issues.

Mamdani: “I have always spoken out against antisemitism.. we must distinguish between antisemitism and criticism of the Israeli govt “The ADL’s report oftentimes ignores this distinction, and in doing so it draws attention away from the very real crisis of antisemitism we see.”
ADL just released a report on Mamdani’s transition team — not appointees: 20%+ of the committee members have ties to anti-Zionist groups like SJP or made anti-Israel statements. Dozens backed campus encampments; some attended. And several are linked to Nation of Islam/Farrakhan.

Mamdani is indeed introducing Sam Levine, a former top deputy to Lina Khan at the FTC, as his new @helloDCWP commissioner — saying he’s “not afraid to take on entrenched interests.”
