Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today.

So many people are showing they know what it means to be New Yorkers!

REMEMBER: Brandon Johnson could give CDOT and DSS the green light for the #PlowTheSidewalks pilot *this winter* if he wanted to.

He’ll claim he needs an ordinance, but truth is all he did was cut a deal to kill the program with the only alderman who’s worn a MAGA hat to City Council.

They’re burying the weirdest part of this story, which is that this congressman’s twin brother keeps trying and failing to replace him in various jobs and is now hoping to replace him in this one

It’s so hilarious how Mamdani has broken the brains of the Chamber of Commerce crowd. My grandfather was a small business owning Eisenhower Republican and he would have been 100% in favor of all of this.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

Some changes that they can look forward to:

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

The Mississippi Republican vowed "vigorous oversight."

ICE tried to stage another raid in Canal Street, and were prevented by New Yorkers showing up to protect their neighbors.

We can stop them. You can stop them. Don't let them tell you that anything is inevitable.
Lots of shoving from NYPD to create an empty area for ICE to RETREAT after their planned raid got exposed
