Kind of a thin forum. Some challenging follow-ups would have been good given the clear likelihood of broad agreement on many issues. Valdez was perhaps the best briefed on Congressional issues, but all 3 are strong policy makers
All: no nukes!
Also no mention of pending expiration of Bipartisan Infra Act which sets up a policy fight later this year/next & NY’s thin representation on the House T&I committee
Congestion pricing discussion - no one seems aware that price increases in future years are already approved by the MTA
Bogotá mentioned! Drink!
Candidate forum for NY 7 (Nydia V’s district)
Federal transit $$ Q: Valdez, Won, Reynoso all say they would fight for more. Valdez shouts out IBX, Won wld challenge $ formula, Reynoso cites his record in NYC & also likes IBX

In the days after President Trump launched U.S. forces in an attack against Iran, American support for the strikes is far lower than what it has been at the beginnings of previous foreign conflicts. See the polling here. nyti.ms/4sDoksm
One of the last cases challenging #congestionpricing was dismissed today. Only the NJ case remains and at this point could be decided in the @mta.info favor since it hinged on mitigation measures which the #mta is starting to deploy. #transit #traffic #train
⚡️ US officials ask 'What does Putin have on Trump?' over downplayed Russian intel to Iran.
My new Purity Litmus Test for any Democrat in politics is to at least talk like uhh this cato institute gentleman
Witness the transformation of Rue de Trévise from car storage to shared community space.

Presentation from that event transitcosts.com/ABB_Presenta...
That was last week at a really good NYU Marron Institute's presentation/discussion of its proposals for NYC subway extension & their housing-generation baselines
If you're interested in the future of NYC & transit, definitely pay attention to Marron and its Transit Costs project
@egoldwyn.bsky.social recently related his research on $ van riders - at the time, many (most?) were holders of monthly Metrocards but valued reliability/frequency
Hot take: "Free" doesn't really help people if it takes 25 minutes for the bus to arrive and then it goes 5 mph. 🕺🏾
Reading the @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social has proposed a crypto mining tax
It could never be high enough
Holy cow, Ukraine offered to help the US prepare to counter Iranian drones, but the Trump regime turned them down, too focused on pushing the narrative that Ukraine “has no cards” and should surrender to Russia.
But now the US is back, asking for help after attacking Iran and getting fire back.
Hi @governor.ny.gov, since your/Uber's plan is on lawmakers' chopping block, consider pay-as-you-drive insurance instead nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/05/s...
Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."
There Have Been No Approvals for New Transit Projects in the First Year of the Current Trump Administration
For the 1st time in the 1st year of a presidential administration since at least 1993, under Trump 2, the Federal Transit Administration signed 0 new contracts for major transit projects, like subways or light rail.
The US is facing a crisis of rail transit investment: www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Spot the difference, if you can.
This is good news but we have to drastically cut down the amount of time "temporary" projects retain that status. Reforming the community input, design, procurement and delivery processes needs to be a big priority of the Mamdani administration.
Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.
