Cuomo used republicans to push bad policy and now Hochul is doing the same. The senate dems dont play that.

This is the bottom line: Even with this stupid lawsuit, and whatever Hochul might be doing, it's not clear — and even seems unlikely, especially now, with Republicans explicitly taking on the Senate Dems — that LaSalle would have the votes in a floor vote. twitter.com/luisferre/stat…

Friends at the New York Times say it's a stinging slap in the face for the NYT to announce it's increasing its stock buyback plan to $400 million from $150 million when it's refusing in contract talks to give its journalists raises that would enable them to keep up with inflation

Today’s @nytimes earnings report is a testament to the great work of our members — work done without a contract for nearly two years. How much longer will the company prioritize its investors over of its employees?

A text card that reads: Today NYT announced it has authorized $400 million for shareholders, while fighting against a $65,000 minimum salary for its employees. That’s an insult to our workers, our readers and our values.

Acknowledging that the scope of the NYPD (the worlds largest police force) is too wide (and then doing your job as an elected official by acting on it) is a very low bar for any progressive. The size of the progressive caucus is not above its purpose (period).

If self-avowed moderate
@JoeBiden
is calling out billionaires and skyrocketing corporate profits, then a state like NY with the worst inequality and most concentrated wealth in the country should have no problem doing the same and passing laws to fix it!

While horse racing attendance and profits decline, Hochul wants to spur the industry with a half-billion-dollar loan. Where will they get the cash to pay the state back? State subsidies. nysfocus.com/2023/02/07/hoc

New York taxes ordinary income and capital gains equally — but the federal government taxes capital gains at a lower rate. FPI found a state surtax on capital gains could raise substantial revenue and offset some or all of the federal tax benefit:
