🧵on nursing home scandal:
On April 14 2020, Berna Lee contacted my office, fearing that her mother, residing in a nursing home in my district, had been negligently exposed to COVID. Berna had been stonewalled.

Knicks fans being shut out of tonight’s game in San Antonio? Ridiculous.
More concerning, reports of ticket holders being shut out after already traveling to San Antonio.
I’m with @JamesSkoufis & @rontkim today calling on the NBA to stop this insanity.
Knicks in Five. 🟠🔵

New York and New Jersey have subpoenaed FIFA as part of an investigation into its ticketing prices for the 2026 World Cup, citing soaring ticket prices and reports that fans were misled about seat locations.

It's official: The plaintiff States are seeking a breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and a prohibition on Live Nation's re-entry into ticketing.
Ticketmaster would be barred from enforcing existing exclusive deals, and Live Nation would divest control of its major venues.

I’ve been asking since last year for @NYCHA to fix these leaks. Our youth and seniors spend much time here and they deserve better.
May 20
I have been told that the Latimer Gardens Older Adult Center at NYCHA’s Latimer Houses in Flushing has been forced to temporarily close due to leaks in its roof. This is unacceptable. After I saw these leaks last year, I called on NYCHA to immediately fix this problem, but the agency failed to do so. Now, hundreds of seniors must be relocated. I am in the process of securing federal funding to help, but NYCHA must make these repairs at once.

It can help with their retirement, healthcare, childcare, home care, etc., but @JeffBezos is relying on our declining administrative capacity to argue that the public sector can no longer solve problems. Unfortunately, there is some truth to the idea that throwing more money at a broken proxy government controlled by intermediaries and contractors won't help the average working person. Case in point: every day, there is rampant fraud in adult day cares and institutionalized wage theft that allows illegal 24-hour home care in NYS. Yet the Governor and Mayor continue to look the other way. At the same time, extreme concentration of wealth and power leads to authoritarianism and fascism. So, unless we deconcentrate wealth/power while holding governors and mayors accountable, we are stuck between fast or slow deaths.

Imagine if the Mayor shed the same light on fixing our broken home care system to counter the images of an ageist society that dehumanizes older people. Instead of detrimentally relying on youth-centric governance, imagine using his powerful platform to humanize the struggles of older immigrant women.
A city that doesn’t care for its children will fail.
Our City’s child care providers do enormously important and difficult work.
They deserve our utmost respect and appreciation.
This week and every week, we must stand up and support them.

Funding childcare is a winning platform because society loves images of young people and liberals get to double down on outsourcing to non-profit contractors aka non-profit industrial complex. It's a win-win outcome.
Fixing homecare requires challenging the system from the inside-out, taking on powerul insurance companies, nonprofit contractors, and progressive friends who got the Mayor elected. But it is also an opportunity to show real administrative leadership.

Not good
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie is MAD. "There's no deal," he tells reporters about the budget. "I said to her last night, I was comfortable with her saying to y'all, we're close. It is close. But this is what's wrong with this process... I'm never doing this again"

1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public today by California AG @AGRobBonta shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.

Crazy
Surveillance pricing is REAL and @JetBlue just admitted it.
Our web searches, mouse clicks and other forms of our personal data should not be used against us. We should not have to go incognito to avoid price gouging.
It’s time to ban #surveillancepricing in New York and across the country. Pass our One Fair Price package now!

1. New evidence shows Amazon compelling specific sellers to hike their prices on other shopping sites. This is from depositions @guardian obtained from the California antitrust case. Expect a lot more to come out at trial. This drives prices up & is why Amazon has an iron grip.

We just won our trial against @LiveNation and @Ticketmaster.
A jury ruled in our favor and is holding the companies responsible for their illegal monopoly that cost consumers millions of dollars.
This is a landmark victory to protect New Yorkers from harmful monopolies.
