When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

UPDATE: Trump is freaking out about the (very effective) anti-tariffs ad Canada 🇨🇦 is running in 🇺🇸 (during baseball playoffs), saying trade negotiations are now “terminated” — so here it is again 👇🏽

Reagan’s audio is, of course, VERY REAL. He is lying: www.youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-...
If chunks of that concrete building break off and fall, there is no sidewalk shed that can protect the neighborhood. Vanity, vanity all is vanity. It's Great Gatsby "careless people" leaving carnage in their wake.
It's why greed is one of the 7 deadly sins.
It looks like a liability not an asset.
The last invader that tried to destroy the White House also gave us the bombardment that led to the Star Spangled Banner and later got slaughtered by a ragtag bunch of Americans at the Battle of New Orleans. Let's hope history repeats.

It’s official: I’m running for Congress to represent San Francisco!

I’ll fight for our city – against Trump’s takeover, for our values, & for real progress. I’ve delivered on housing, healthcare, clean energy, & civil rights – & I’ll do it again.

Let’s build the future our city & country deserve.

Take nothing for granted, make sure to get out and vote Connolly tomorrow.

This presidential election has the potential to bring about a major shift in Irish politics, with a united left providing a real alternative to over a century of tweedledum tweedledee FF/FG.

No Cuomo. ❌

Early voting starts Saturday.
Vote early, vote Mamdani, send Andrew back to Westchester.
On this day in history Clarence Thomas replaced Thurgood Marshall on the SCOTUS. Come on this October 23rd, you can do better.

21 October 1938 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Roza Elisabeth, van Coevorden was born in Rotterdam.

In August 1942 she was deported to Auschwitz with her mother Mathilda. They were both murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali.

Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair.

New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

Most of my class stayed in our home town after graduation, a majority didn't go on to further education. They got jobs, had kids, and did the next right things. A few got into trouble with the law, many got divorced, most seemed happy. We didn't talk politics. The national debates seemed miles away.
