As the legal battle to determine who leads the party rolls on, Brooklyn Dems' executive committee received notice last night from AM Nikki Lucas – AM Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn's handpicked successor – that she was setting a meeting for Oct. 27 to vote on two new rule changes.

It's kinda wild that @NYCCouncil is so focused on developing restrictions on Micromobility (some of which I support) but doing nothing on these. Why aren't motor vehicles that go over a certain speed or a certain weight illegal. Why are these "Class 10" personal trucks showed?

After leaving this morning’s hearing, AM Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn is served contempt papers over the Sunday night meeting she and allies convened to elect a new leader of Brooklyn Dems despite a temporary injunction being in place. The contempt hearing is set for Oct. 19.

A Supreme Court judge has set a contempt hearing for Oct. 19, ordering Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and other Brooklyn Dems party members who participated in last night's meeting to show cause for why they shouldn't be punished for violating the stay halting any vote for chair.

This is going to be a big process server bill, especially for a rush job.

We need to stop this and roll it back. Larger heavier vehicles cause more deaths and injuries, damage our roads more and contribute to congestion.

Rep. Nydia Velázquez, who was accidentally elected chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party’s county committee last week due to a party leadership error, has words for lawyers representing Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and the county org in court: “you don’t represent me!”

Hey Chris, the UES lacks north/south AND east/west bike lane access. Since January 1, there have been 14 reported cyclist injuries east of the park between 5th and park ave alone. We need something in this area to help improve street safety for everyone.

All models now agree that a strong coastal storm will develop later today. By Sunday, this storm will be pulled westward towards the NJ/NY coast. This will result in a heightened risk of heavy rain, damaging winds and coastal flooding this weekend. More details on the way today.

A County Committee member just pointed out that vacancy appointees should not be voting members at this meeting, since they were not given proper notice of the meeting as per the party's own rules (which state that such notice must be delivered by mail or by telegram).

New Kings Democrats@newkingsdemsSep 23
A member just asked how—if there are 1,142 eligible voters here (in person + proxies)—did 1,240 people supposedly vote for AD 42 vacancy appointments? The Chair is continuing to the next vote without answering the question.

People keep making weird excuses for the truck but the reality is that both bikes and pedestrians have priority over a car in an intersection like this, especially bike going straight. Bikes have a right to share lanes. There’s no clear bike lane. Right lane would be proper then

Last night, at the intersection of 14th Street and First Avenue, a truck driver hit a Citi Bike, injuring one 16-year-old rider and killing a 15-year-old rider. The riders were crossing First Avenue with the right-of-way to turn onto the protected bike lane heading north.

Good. FOIL delays are an absolute joke. I know city workers are inundated, but the Mamdani admin should find a way of addressing its legal obligations of transparency instead of delaying inconvenient requests for political reasons.

We have officially filed a lawsuit against the New York City Mayor’s Office for unacceptable delays in providing documents related to Mamdani official Ana Maria Archila's attempt to meet with Iran’s UN ambassador. Our public records request sought information on scheduling records for Archila over a six month period. We filed this request on July 9. Four days later, on July 13, the Mayor’s Office notified us that we could expect the response around January 11, 2027. Our lawsuit asks the court to declare the Mayor’s Office’s response unlawful, order it to produce the requested records within five days, and award the attorney’s fees and costs permitted by New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). More broadly, the case asks the court to enforce a modest rule: before City Hall makes a requester wait six months, it must have a request-specific reason for doing so. city-journal.org/article/new…

Mamdani Has a Transparency Problem. We're Suing to Fix It.

The New York City Mayor’s Office has turned a request-specific legal standard into a blanket waiting period.
