We are with you in Seattle, Zohran! Amazon tried to buy our election to stop a millionaire payroll tax that funds social housing; we drew attention to their arrogant belief that they could fool our voters
We won in a landslide, and they have paid tens of millions into the fund.
Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust.
We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.
No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
ALT An AMNY headline with a photo of Mayor Mamdani reads: Mamdani administration says it recovered more than $9M in Amazon idling fines.

Mamdani: "Government efficiency — these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are Republican priorities, when in fact they're the priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. Any yet, Elon Musk took that language and used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people across the country and across the world. Ours is going to be a focus on actually delivering efficiency. Not as a byword for cutting services, but actually a sincere commitment to efficiency. And we firmly believe not only in closing the last chapter of city government, but in starting the new one. The proposals that COGE will be looking at will be ones that we view as critical to unlocking the full potential of city government.”

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history: Block by Block.
We're building 200,000 new affordable homes. We're overhauling code enforcement. We're cracking down on bad landlords. We're creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. We're building new paths to homeownership. We're investing $5.6 billion in NYCHA — the largest City capital investment in recent history.
New York is facing a historic housing crisis. We're pursuing a historic solution.
All hands on deck. All-of-the-above. All for New York City.

One more reason front and side setbacks are dumb is they take away options for this kind of beauty.

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."

Tonight we denied a 15-year Democratic incumbent the party endorsement. We were told this was nearly impossible.
The grassroots begs to differ.
Voters are ready for change--housing that is affordable, transit that is fast & frequent, childcare that is free, & taxing the rich!

Washington State, all of your reps gave ICE new powers to collect your personal info except Reps. Jayapal and Randall btw
May 13
Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.

Jared Polis is the worst dem governor in the country, and frankly, it isn’t even close.
He follows me, and I hope he sees this. Resign, bozo.

SCOOP from @IsaacDovere: Colorado Gov. Polis (D) grants clemency to Tina Peters, the Trump ally in prison for conspiring to breach election systems to audit the 2020 results. Polis is cutting her 9-year term in half, and says she could be out this summer cnn.com/2026/05/15/politics/…

"In general, my bias is to go big"
"taller, denser, faster" is the new tagline for the proposed changes
She's combining phases 3 and 4 of the comp plan, so instead of late 2028, the legislation could be enacted June 2027

A big thanks to @geekwire for publishing this: I argue that Washington taxes are low, not going up that fast, and that the millionaire tax is fine economically.
I also argue the discussion should rely more on evidence, less on vibes.

John Curley of @KIRONewsradio is taking aim at Seattle's $1.3 billion child care and education levy, asking what the result would be if it went before voters ... which it did last November, to the tune of nearly 80 percent approval.
