🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact
not usually one to agree w/ezra klein, but as a former brad staffer, this really captures what so many of us who’ve worked with him or know him feel. he’d be a truly exceptional mayor cause he’s always been deeply competent & very caring. yesterday was just a reminder of that.
This @ezraklein Lander endorsement is great, timely, respectful of @ZohranKMamdani, withering on Andrew Cuomo's inability to govern. nytimes.com/2025/06/18/opi…
This👇. And I’ll ad that when @popdemoc polled on housing in battleground states, voters — especially renters — were very fired up capping rents. But tax breaks and getting rid of regulations to help build more housing… meh.
substance issues aside, what is the best argument for how the Abundance stuff translates into a winning political coalition? who is brought into the tent who isn’t already in it?
Nothing says “I ❤️ NY” like “I will only live here if I am the Mayor.” nypost.com/2025/07/19/us-…
They played “They’re Coming to America” at the fireworks show I was at in PA. Out of curiosity are there any patriotic songs about mass deportations?
“If you were to design the ultimate system, you would have mass transit be free and charge an enormous amount for cars.” - Mayor Michael Bloomberg, 2007 Before NY’s business titans were losing their minds about over @ZohranKMamdani’s proposal for free buses, their patron saint…
Does it involve setting more of your money on 🔥? Always here for those ideas 😃
I have a great idea on NYC. I will share it as soon as I can. I was a bit depressed when I woke up this morning, but I am now optimistic.
The absolute best. Campaign manager pretty great too ❤️
Brad Lander is a hero. A true, selfless, courageous, talented hero.
I mean he even sneaks a terrible dad joke while touting the latest glowing endorsement. #DadsForBrad
Good morning. @ezraklein just made it abundantly clear: "Lander sure looks like the kind of guy you’d want in charge at a time like this." nytimes.com/2025/06/18/opi…
Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.
One thing I know for sure: Andrew Cuomo wouldn’t lift a goddam finger for immigrants if it was in the slightest bit inconvenient for him to do so.
Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing. Video from the city comptroller’s press secretary @chloecbristow. She says he’s still being held in 26 Federal Plaza.
.@ElonMusk: please reply to this tweet with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished for Tesla last week. Failure to respond will be considered admission that you have the highest paying no-show job in history and proof that Tesla’s board of directors is perpetrating fraud…
They are doing this for political reasons
Great energy at rally to protect Medicaid and SNAP outside @RepNicole Malliotakis’s office in Bay Ridge. #Where’sNicole?!?
Welcome, @andrewcuomo ! In honor of your sad attempt to get attention, let's remember your time as Governor of New York—before you resigned for sexually harassing 13 women and leading thousands of elderly New Yorkers to their deaths during Covid-19. Landerfornyc.com/donate
📢 NEW REPORT: New York’s emergency rent relief was a mess, thanks to Gov. Cuomo. Glitchy systems, unfair distribution, and even leaked personal info worsened it. #ERAP We need homes for all and honest leaders. Read more: populardemocracy.org/crisis-corrupt…

Trump, a mi no me gusta mucho viajar a los EEUU, es un poco aburridor, pero confieso que hay cosas meritorias, me gusta ir a los barrios negros de Washington, allí ví una lucha entera en la capital de los EEUU entre negros y latinos con barricadas, que me pareció una pendejada,…
This thread makes me feel even better about working my ass if in 2006 to help elect @ChrisMurphyCT to Congress. Well said!
That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:
