This insufferable shmuck just got elected to Congress. For the last two years, Dems have been screaming that the Trump administration are not serious people, then they elected this communist retard. What am I even watching? Just incredible.

Happy 251st Birthday to the @USMC! 馃嚭馃嚫
Today, we honor the brave men and women who have worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor and answered the call to defend our great nation. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to our freedom. God bless our Marines! #SemperFi
Encampment for years outside of a struggling restaurant in Greenwich Village
They pay $20k in rent
Pretty clear to see that this impacts businesses as people cross the street to avoid this encampment. There are five or six regulars who spend their time smoking weed, urinating and defecating

@NYC_DOT E-scooter Cesspool Pilot report
The DOT and @transalt donors @limebike @veomobility are using the abundance doctrine to get more people to drive e-scooters in the DJQ/Jamaica and it's messing up a real estate business that's been on that corner for years
This e-scooter landfill is also an ableist message to the elderly and handicapped that they are no longer wanted in this gentrying town of tower hyperdevelopment.
The ironic thing about this e-micromobility oversaturation policy is how it's designed to bring down car dependence but more people are driving than ever before and all these towers have big garages where these corporate e-scooter share providers can easily rent space to store these in without obstructing pedestrian egress. Which is even worse with the ebike designed limegliders DOT commissioner Mewling Mike Flynn has permitted to be driven on the streets that are still in hazardous condition in eastern Queens
This is a massive scandal as much as it is a massive mess and this pilot must end now. And if the scooter community doesn't like it they can take the dozens of buses that go through here every day that is causing more traffic congestion
Saw a delivery guy get his bike stolen in the middle of picking up a food order. He was devastated
I helped share some security footage & spoke w cops for him
While I hate these apps, I still feel compassion for the drivers that rely on them. I wish it was regulated. I also wish a bike unlocked for 2 mins didn鈥檛 stolen in our city.
The good news? The cops found it uptown & returned to him! He came by my business to thank me and show he got it back

I鈥檓 sure a lot of you have had conversations just like this when it comes to politics

NY's electric rates are 70% higher than the average in the rest of the United States.
That's you, Governor.
If you want to blame one person, she's in your mirror. Take a look.
I don鈥檛 care about parties, I鈥檓 100% policy driven. The fact that NYC voters passed all 5 ballot props can only mean one thing, they didn鈥檛 research before voting on them. Because they directly take away power from the community. It鈥檚 sad to see so many handed over our power to inept & corrupt politicians.
The @sarithaforny loss hits hard. Overqualified & ready to get to work. Very disappointed in this result.
BUT, not all is doom and gloom. I鈥檓 deflated about some results but overall very proud of my fellow Americans. Even those who voted differently than I did. Why? Because this is America & a robust voter turnout is a successful Election Day.
Let鈥檚 hope this is a wake up call for the Republican Party. Voters are angry and we need change. Let鈥檚 also hope the Democrat Party reigns itself in, and uses their new found power for good. Not extremist chaos, but real checks & balances. Do I think that either political machine is capable or willing to do this? No.
Am I proud of actively engaged American voters (even if I disagree)? Absolutely

Just a reminder that one of the most important elections ever to determine our next attorney general takes place today.
Vote @sarithaforny because your life depends on it.
Send the bloated, useless, and corrupt @NewYorkStateAG, @TishJames, packing.
