*clears throat* allow me 🧵

1) He empowered a power-sharing arrangement between moderate Ds (IDC) & Rs in state Sen, which prevented NY from codifying abortion rights, enacting stronger gun control & expanding legal recourse available to people who were sexually abused as kids

2) He cut $65M of funding for a rental assistance program, which led to a loss of $27M in federal funds, leading to surge in NYC homelessness

3) He cut funding to the MTA and prioritized flashy projects over basic subway maintenance (plus had them bail out state-run ski resorts)

4) To balance the budget, he refused to increase taxes on the mega-rich, instead cutting funding to public schools (especially in low income areas in NYC) — and he called for cuts to Medicaid as well

5) He cut funding for CUNY (and wanted to cut it even more before he resigned)

6) His campaign & supporting super PAC are heavily financed by big real estate & billionaires — many of whom backed Trump (Ackman, Langone, etc.)

7) His campaign team spreads Trump-style lies and then turns off their replies like a bunch of cowards

8) Trump could pressure Cuomo to do his bidding by holding the DOJ’s investigation (over him allegedly lying to Congress over nursing home COVID-related deaths) over him — and they are clearly still chatting on the phone about the mayor’s race!

9) He still struggles to say “Mamdani” correctly

10) He doesn’t actually live here

And that’s if we totally ignore the *many substantiated* sexual harassment allegations and the COVID nursing home death scandal, which are — of course — disgusting and horrifying.

Need any more?
