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

Maybe it has something to do with his own lackluster campaign and his constant posting of weird AI shit like this.

Blakeman has only ever won in local races that Jay Jacobs was squarely in charge of. When it comes to the statewide, I wouldn’t credit him completely. Hochul is the boss and there’s an entire team of serious people running the operation.

1999 is an exception, at the height of republicans mismanaging and bankrupting the county under Exec Tom Gulotta. Why we have NIFA still today.

Bruce Blakeman's campaign is focusing on a big difference in what the Siena and Marist polls show re: independent voters. Siena has Hochul winning independent voters in a big swing from last month. Marist has Blakeman winning independent voters.

Republicans are obsessed with lawn signs. Local GOP organizations are obsessed with telling their neighbors who they support. It's mostly just for show and to f*ck with Democrats. Usually means little. Dems just show up and vote. That's what matters most. #NYGOV

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)

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!
