Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate

Seven Weeks Late, the Syosset Street Fair Takes Over Jackson Avenue on Sunday

The Syosset Street Fair was supposed to fill downtown Syosset on the last Sunday of September. Then a nor'easter rolled up the coast and took the whole weekend with it. The fair was not canceled. It was moved, all the way to November, and on Sunday, November 15, it finally happens: vendors, two music stages and a kids' zone on Jackson Avenue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”

NYC DSA may push for AOC 2028 presidential bid with scheme to recruit new members

The city chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America will consider formally pushing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for US president in 2028 — with plans for her campaign to grow their lefty ranks. The DSA will vote on a resolution at the group’s convention Saturday that asks member AOC to run with gushing language calling her one of the “most widely beloved members of the Democratic Party.” DSA co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser signed the proposed resolution for Ocasio-Cortez, who is fresh off a reelection win in a deeply blue New York House district. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez walks on stage at the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago. AFP via Getty Images “AOC is one of the most recognizable figures in US politics, the most popular Democrat in Congress, and is one of the most widely beloved members of the Democratic Party alongside other democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani,” states the resolution, obtained by The Post. The proposal boasts that Ocasio-Cortez’s grassroots support has turned her into one of the most prolific fundraisers in American politics coming “almost entirely from small dollar donors.” Mamdani meets with union bigwig
