To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

Received my signed copy today. Can't wait to read it. Obviously, I had to verify the signature of @markhertling.bsky.social . It checks out.

What the fuck? Everyday it seems they find new ways to sink a little bit lower. At this point, there is no bottom. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Perhaps not being paid would provide some incentive to shorten, or ideally, prevent shutdowns. Since most are independently wealthy, I have doubts, but it's a start. c.org/STK7ftxghG

The point is that they continue to get paid during the shutdown and should be a work out of deference to the workers not being paid. It's time they earn their paycheck. www.axios.com/2025/10/29/m...

I love reading James Fell and this is great reminder that even when everything seems to be going sideways, we shouldn't stop trying. It sucks that we're in this situation, but we must persevere. open.substack.com/pub/jamesfel...
