Turning the 33 into a full or partial tunnel would be a far worse generational blunder than anything they might do with a Bills stadium

This was an awesome protest!
Schumer shouldn’t go along with the data center/ai/oil & gas agenda in a deal with Trump, ever! And right after a historic election in a lame duck?!?! Cancel the vote, Senator!
Rob Galbraith retweeted
Stop the Dirty Deal .@SenSchumer!
AI Data centers, dirty gas pipelines & powerplants, even more ICE detención centers are coming our way unless Schumer blocks this dirty deal.
If you missed us Chuck, don't worry. We'll be here all week!

Not to be overlooked in the inspiring results for @DemSocialists candidates in congressional and municipal races were the many leftists elected to U.S. statehouses.
I wrote about the triumph of socialist policies in state capitols for @curaffairs.

NEW: Chuck Schumer is preparing to lead the Senate with a network of former aides lobbying for private equity—including two former policy chiefs and his top health adviser. Their clients include Blackstone, Apollo, and the industry’s top trade group. readsludge.com/2026/11/06/th…

ICE’s budget tripled in 2025 from $10B to $30B; if ICE were a national army it would be the 13th biggest in the world, later than that of Poland, Italy, Australia. If Dems do not, at least, attempt to return to 2024 funding levels then they are not serious about “reining in ICE”

Two bills, backed by the plastics industry, “champion deceptive, anti-consumer policies which would result in an increase in plastic production … all while hiding behind the false brand of ‘recycling,’” one environmental expert said.

Just putting a battery in everything and trying to replace all fossil fuel power with electricity from the grid is not a smart or even an effective way to go about eliminating pollution. Surviving the ecological crisis with dignity requires more than shuffling numbers on a ledger
A recent e-bike battery fire tore through a downstate apartment, killing four family members. It's 1 of 2 fatal fires that took the lives of 10 people in just 8 days. Experts are reminding the proper use and disposal of lithium-ion batteries.

It’s the most bipartisan thing they do, and there’s never a moment of anguish over how to “pay for” it.
"Several Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee aren’t ruling out supporting more Pentagon funding [for the Iran War]. That includes...Elissa Slotkin of Michigan."
Trump's military budget is already $1.1 trillion.

Packages included Knicks playoffs, Subway Series, and meet-and-greets with Yankees stars.

This week Michiganders voted to ban utility corporations and their executives from political donations. As we've reported, Michigan utilities have spent millions on political influence through donations, PACs, dark money, and corporate lobbies like the Detroit Regional Chamber.

One of the biggest signs of a vibe shift? Donations from ZIP code 22101, home to the CIA headquarters in Langley and defense contractors in McLean, were overwhelmingly Democratic in 2024.
They had a massive Republican shift this year.

Wow I love the easy, effortless style on this Sticker Donkey fella. Not a lot of folks in politics have sprezzatura like this
I don't think "beauty" is the correct word, but I do love how terrifying the city court building is
Today in the archives: Buffalo’s proposed 10-story City Court building would bring 16 courts, expansion space and a 600-car parking ramp to Niagara Square, with the project estimated at $18.1M. buffalonews.com/news/local/h…
The cost of National Fuel's 56 years of rising dividends and hundreds of millions of dollars in stock buybacks to make owners and executives richer is constant rate hikes on a captive customer base. In my house, gas costs have more than doubled from $1.00/ccf to $2.64 since 2024.
National Fuel Gas Company reports fourth quarter earnings results for Fiscal Year 2026. We are excited about the future, and encourage you to read the full report on our website at: ow.ly/RJmc51048mB
Besides enriching owners and executives, National Fuel also uses money sucked out of WNYers' wallets to corrupt our government, spending millions on lobbying and political influence to prevent NY from moving off of fossil fuels.

On July 31st, Governor Kathy Hochul and AG Tish James sued Kalshi for “running an illegal gambling operation and harming New Yorkers.”
Today, Rep. Ritchie Torres announces a partnership with them.
