‘Fuck this, we’re getting better’: Liz Krueger is on the mend . One of the very best legislators in New York City, and with great sense of humor. Long may she legislate: cityandstateny.com/personality/20… via @CityAndStateNY
www.cityandstateny.com ‘Fuck this, we’re getting better’: Liz Krueger is on the mend After suffering a stroke in April, the longtime state senator is ready to get back to work. The desire to put stakes in Schumer and Jeffries in the wake of an astonishingly successful night for their often hand picked candidates feels more than a touch clueless: nytimes.com/2026/11/07/us/…
www.nytimes.com Schumer Lifts His Senate Standing With an Election Blowout The Democratic leader still faces skeptics in his ranks and hostility from some activists, but aides say he has enough commitments of support to be elected majority leader. Like a lost dog, this fallacious argument keeps wandering back into discourse. Voting is not land based, he with the most acreage wins. It's one person-one vote. By that standard NYS is a sometimes overwhelmingly Blue State.
Rural conservatives in deep-blue states are effectively governed without consent. In New York, Republicans win most counties yet still lose statewide by 20 points because dense urban and suburban voters in New York City and its suburbs cast the decisive ballots and vote overwhelmingly Democratic. The result is that rural and upstate communities pay the taxes, live under the regulations, and absorb the costs set by politicians they consistently reject. Same story in California and Illinois. Population density has become a veto over the rest of the state.View quoted post on X

A little surprised the Vice President of the United States offering the Trump administration's approach to Israel as a monocausal explanation of the midterm wipeout doesn't merit any coverage in the Free Press.View quoted post on X
Seems like something in their wheelhouse.
