#NYC Mayor's #Primary Tightening Between Ugandan born #Socialist #Assemblyman Zohran #Mamdani & Disgraced Democrat Ex #Governor #Cuomo, who resigned top state office under cloud of sexual harassment claims despite decades of erstwhile establishment ego, ol' fashioned #NY #Nepotism aiding his image.

A former adviser to Mr. Cuomo, said that the biz elite favorite had run a “grim and joyless campaign” compared to upstart candidate endorsed by #WorkingFamilies Party, #AOC and #DJT enemy Letitia James. The night before #election day, Mamdami appeared on #CBS TV with Stephen Colbert and sent email to supporters noting “It is essential that we turn out in record numbers in order to turn the page on #AndrewCuomo, his billionaire donors, and the #politics of big money and small ideas”

#RankChoice voting makes predicting outcome harder than usual in the multi candidate mayoral race, but Mamdani has momentum since leaping double digits in polling over past month, while third place to likely to go to his ally and city #Comptroller Brad Lander, who was recently talk of town after being body slammed and arrested by #ICE.

I just called Gov Newsom's office and my state reps about the Governor's request to break our solar panel contract. I'm new at calling, and kind of phobic, but I'm going to get over it now.

Between 2019 and 2021, California lost more than 1,100 licensed childcare facilities and nearly 19,000 licensed spaces—more spaces than the number of children in Mendocino or 21 other California counties.

In 2021, child care spaces were unavailable for nearly a quarter of California children ages 0 to 12 with working parents.

@phillypowerresearch I hate this because why on earth would this city need Republicans sitting on the Council? They are nothing but placeholders in the conference. It would be much more productive to have Kendra Brooks and Nic O'Rourke in there so there can be a level of substantive debate #Philly #NovemberElections #WorkingFamilies #Democrats

This past Saturday, $37 billion in child-care pandemic relief from the federal government expired—$5 billion of which went to California.

There will be very few 3rd party wins until we get that into place nationally.

Although one nice thing I consider a big win is my city council has a cap on majority party seats, so #WorkingFamilies party took one of the minority party seats. The R's lost their minds about that

Via Sanho Tree:

“On Tuesday, the Commerce Department will announce that any semiconductor manufacturer seeking a slice of nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies will need to essentially guarantee affordable, high-quality child care for workers who build or operate a plant.”👍
