This is almost precisely that. It's 1% more than 3% per year over 10 years for mayor, and half that for the council members.

I'm not sure where you got the idea they "acknowledged" this as their reason. It's a wholly unsupported theory based on nothing but some random opinion in the NYT (although I do love the notion that this opinion somehow "got lost amid the excitement" as opposed to simply being uninteresting).

It doesn't even make sense. You don't need an opposition filibuster unless the majority of the party is "fringe" (straining the meaning of fringe). There are plenty of other ways to bury a bill or -- worst case -- excuse a couple defectors.

Are you sure that's not the FORTRAN meetup?

People probably mistakenly assumed the law was in good faith and would do something like ban hanging crosses around the classroom, not ban covering up part of your body. Calling head coverings "religious symbols" is flatly dishonest. Next up anybody who doesn't eat bacon at every meal will be fired for forcing their religion on others.

This is just to say

I have eaten
the nuggies
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were definitely
saving
for dinner

Forgive me
they were delicious
so mushy
and so warm

Apologies to William Carlos Williams

I feel like there may be a subtle statistical error in judging the overall will of "Democratic voters" based on rough observations of attendees of a Mamdani rally.

A European starling called "The Mouth" was able to mimic sounds well enough to reproduce a drawing in the spectrograph:

What I’m not seeing is any explanation for why the DNC ... is accepting help

Cuomo is running as an independent. He is running against the DNC.

Well they saved "258 million" people from fentanyl overdose in 100 days; finding half of them jobs in a week should be no problem.
