🚨 BREAKING: NYC Lawmaker Proposes Legalizing Bodega Cats Across All 5 Boroughs! Look, I don’t know why this even needs to be a law. Everyone already knows the bodega cats were born undocumented, raised on expired tuna, and will never vote Democrat. They work harder than half the City Council, don’t unionize, and have a zero-tolerance policy on rats, roaches, and nonsense. If anyone’s earned legal status in this city, it’s these feline freedom fighters. 🐾💼 #LegalizeBodegaCats #CommonSenseLawmaking #NYCPolitics #BETTRVoices 📖 Full story: https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-lawmaker-wants-to-legalize-bodega-cats-in-the-5-boroughs 🔗 https://bettr.community 📅 June 13, 2025

Anthony Weiner Runs for NYC Council — Gets Applause on The View In a stunning sign of just how upside-down politics has become, disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner is now running for New York City Council — and received applause from the audience of The View during a recent appearance. Let’s be clear: • Weiner served time for sending explicit messages to an underage girl. • He resigned in disgrace from Congress. • He was labeled a sex offender. And yet — he’s being welcomed back with open arms while patriots are in prison for trespassing on federal property. This is the state of New York. This is the state of our politics.

🗳️ Major NYC Charter Overhaul Proposed: Non-Partisan Primaries & Mayoral Zoning Power The NYC Charter Revision Commission is set to recommend sweeping changes that could reshape local politics and governance: 🗳️ Non-partisan primaries for all city offices 🏙️ Final zoning decisions transferred from City Council to the mayor’s administration Supporters say these changes would boost voter participation, reduce backroom deal-making, and streamline land-use decisions for housing and infrastructure. Critics argue it concentrates too much power in the hands of the mayor and weakens neighborhood-level input. If adopted, these revisions would mark the largest structural shift in NYC governance in decades—and could set a model for reform nationwide. #NYCPolitics #CharterReform #NonPartisanPrimaries #ZoningReform #UrbanPolicy #BETTRnews #MakeNYBETTR 🔗 Full Story: https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/04/nyc-charter-reform-nonpartisan-elections-zoning-changes/456389/
