NYC. Financial planner. Traveling, food, running, cycling and footie. I probably have a Google maps list of the best places to eat in a city you are visiting. 😄

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

Booker eviscerates Patel: "He's like an 18 year old kid who wants to join a fraternity that he could never be a member of, doing keg stands and chugging with friends. He's an embarrassment. He is a disgrace. This is a mockery and a sham. What's bad are the people enabling him."

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

As a Jewish person who has long been concerned about antisemitism, I think it’s fucking bananas that Republicans’ biggest donor is a neo-Nazi and that’s not really a political scandal—but we’re constantly talking about whether my friends on the left have a problem.

Feel for Tadej. That looked horrendous. Just terrible. Announcers in shock, racers in shock. Didn’t know I would be in shock.

If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

Don’t forget what REALLY “drives” a lot of regional growth and infrastructure politics. It’s pretty much this. Great drawing via Ian Lockwood.

This is a five-alarm fire for our democracy and our future. Democrats have to step up and meet the moment. Our current congressmember isn't getting the job done.

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

From my 5 minutes of research to become an expert. It would appear that a sacrifice to Ahura Mazda is required. I think we just need some "omomi" and the blood of a sacrificed wolf. There may be some other steps, but with the time constraints, that should do.

Replying to @azrww.bsky.social

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Who knew there were better odds of me volunteering in the German Army before ever volunteering for the US Army? What a world.

This is Charlie. He is 7 and loves our building luggage carts. The world is terrible (especially the US), but Charlie has no cares. Love that for you Charlie.

I speak having a decent amount of experience interacting with this group having infiltrated them as one. White men (college educated or not) are so stupid.

NYT: “.. The president has also lost support among men, particularly white, college-educated men. Among them, his approval rating has dropped to 40 percent, down from 47 percent in June, according polling from Fox News.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u...

It was politically savvy to keep Tisch on, but we all know, Zohran included, her time is limited. You could argue she has served her purpose already to him and she can go in short order.

New: NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch's brother called Zohran Mamdani an "enemy" of Jews during a private charity dinner last night — an inflammatory comment that comes on the heels of the incoming mayor's decision to retain Tisch as NYC's top cop. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/04/n...

Hearing Annmarie on @bloomberg.com Surveillance say that Wall Street does not think that Hassett will get the Trump because they do not think he will pick a Trump stooge left my jaw on the floor. We have a stooge directing our military! What are you even talking about! He loves stooges!

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling? Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf
