5. That is spectacular. How are you dealing with MTA getting shafted by Cuomo

And the state assembly? NYC needs full congestion charges—not just on for-hire cars

...it's too messy, and it conflicts with my professional life.

That said, the story I'm hearing this AM is that Cuomo has brokered a deal to reunite the Senate Dems with the IDC.

that Pete Buttegieg is considering running for President. I'm like "whaaa??" I like the guy, but I think he should run for Congress to get rid of Walorski 1st. I cant see a young mayor of a city of 100,000 being President. Now some day in the future, yeah I could see that. But for now I think if he truly is considering that I think he's getting ahead of himself.

I was at a thing with Kucinich a couple of years ago, but I never chatted with him. Seeing as how other attendees were all people I either already knew or wanted to (Katrina vanden Heuvel, Cecile Richards, Raúl Grijava, E. J. Dionne, John Nichols, Elizabeth Warren, Rev. William Barber, Eleanor Clift, Jerry Nadler, and a LOT of etc.), I just couldn't get to everyone, and Kucinich was one of the ones I never ended up meeting.

So, I'll look forward to hearing about that meeting, and Pete Buttegieg, too. I don't know him, but saw a brief TV clip with him, and he seemed to be about the most interesting guy to come out of Indiana I had seen in years.
