All politics is local. All hypocrisy is visible. Calling balls and strikes for Long Island politics.

Long Island doesn’t need more partisans. It needs more accountability. I’ll be calling out hypocrisy, incompetence, and cowardice — on both sides.

According to @VoteHub, Laura Gillen #NY04 is projected to win re-election with 56.8% of the vote. In 2024, she flipped the district with 51.2%, following a sex scandal by D'Esposito. IMO this is too generous and Gillen will get more like 53-54%. Easy but not totally safe. (1/2)

For reference. Zeldin won the district but Trump lost it. (2/2)

Via @Newsday. Good news for Long Island Democrats. Can they keep up this pace?

Joe Cairo shoving out every last dollar for Bruce in the hopes that he creates a down ballot effect for all of the state, town supervisor and county legislature races. Dems dont have that kind of money so Jay Jacobs entire plan is just hope the even year turnout is enough.

The real comparison is to the 2022 numbers. Dems were staying home then. They aren’t anymore. Republicans can thank Trump.

Citywide, we are at 108.6% of Day 1 of early voting in 2025, 61.5% of Day 1 of early voting in 2024, and 173.4% of Day 1 of early voting in 2022. Let’s keep it going, New York City!

$442m to buy our elections and it constitutes just 0.045% of Elons wealth. That’s the equivalent of the median American household spending $92. If you can’t see the problem with this then I don’t know what to tell you.

Nassau Republicans indirectly invoke @hasanthehun with random Dem Assembly candidate he's never met and neither has Mamdani. newsday.com/long-island/poli…

GOP use of 9/11 rhetoric in political mailers seen as risky

Republicans release ads linking Democrats to 9/11 terrorists, a strategy experts say stokes fear and anti-Muslim sentiment to influence voter turnout.

Alleged campaign finance violation by a nonprofit org and a Dem assemblywoman. Worthy of investigation and at the very least represents a very stupid move by this nonprofit and whomever may have coordinated with them. Unclear if this has legs and will affect the race.

This morning, I notified the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and commissioners of the state and county Boards of Elections, about “Pay-for-Play” Rebecca Kassay. Kassay spent her last campaign hammering her predecessor over his disbarment. Now a nonprofit, to which she steered $15,000 in taxpayer money, threw her a fundraiser. She needs to stop hiding and answer for this.

Makes sense when Long Island is the most rent burdened region in NYS. But most of these towns and villages have insane payrolls and exist as jobs programs for party loyalists on both sides.

Certainly not a shock to those paying attention. Nearly 90% of NY's highest paid government employees work on LI, almost all working in law enforcement, according to a new report from the @empirecenter newsday.com/news/region-stat…

Report: Most of New York State's highest paid government employees work on LI

Of the 400 local government employees paid more than $300,000 in fiscal 2025-26, 350 worked on Long Island, the Empire Center for Public Policy found.

What do @TheMikeLiPetri and George Santos have in common? They both spent more years running for office than actually serving in office. LOSERS of #NY03!
