A last-minute move by Mayor Eric Adams quietly changed the rules for the next mayor 🏛️⏳
By creating a protected commission, he limited what City Hall and City Council can do on election reform for years. Legal, but deeply controversial.

🚨🏛️ When power is defended publicly but corrected quietly, trust erodes.

As Trump backs Kristi Noem, moving Tom Homan into Minneapolis tells a different story. Bipartisan calls for resignation or impeachment are about credibility and accountability.

🏢 NYC just stepped back from one of its most aggressive housing proposals.

COPA which would have given nonprofits first rights to buy some apartment buildings is officially dead. Legal reality won.

Today we remember the victims of the Holocaust and the danger of normalized hatred. Auschwitz is both a marker of loss and a warning. Remembrance carries responsibility. Never again isn’t a slogan. It’s a commitment.

A U.S. citizen is dead after an encounter with federal agents. A nurse. A VA worker. A life many Americans can picture. Labeled a threat.
You can believe in border enforcement and still demand accountability.
If this feels new, ask why. 🔎🇺🇸

🚨🕊️ A U.S. citizen ICU nurse is dead. Video contradicts the official story. This was the second fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis this month and sparked nationwide protests. This cannot be brushed aside.

Jack Smith never got his day in court. ⚖️
Congress became the stage. 🏛️
His testimony cut through the noise to explain why Jan. 6 mattered, why evidence drove the case, and what’s at stake when accountability is stopped midstream. 🚨

National housing headlines look grim. NYC tells a different story. 🏙️📊
Elliman contract data shows demand didn’t collapse in 2025. Activity shifted as inventory tightened. National data misses how local NYC really is.

On MLK Day, we pause with moral clarity. This is not just remembrance, but responsibility. Progress is built through courage, conscience, and action when silence is easier. May we honor Dr. King not just in words, but in how we act.

MLK Day and Juneteenth were removed as free National Park days, reshaping access to shared history. As America nears its 250th birthday, who decides what stays visible matters.

Why do Staten Island homeowners move twice as fast as the rest of NYC? 🏠📊
Turnover averages 6.5 years, while Bronx and Queens owners stay nearly twice as long. The reasons go beyond interest rates. 👇🏾

New York’s 2026 State of the State is a balancing act. Lower costs. Faster housing. Major transit upgrades at Jamaica Station and along 125th St. All without broad tax hikes. Big promises. Tough math ahead. 🏙️🚆

Zillow isn’t betting on a rebound. It’s betting on certainty. In a slower housing market, clicks don’t close deals. Transactions do. That’s why platforms are moving closer to the closing table where outcomes matter more than traffic. 🏠📉

A quiet USPS shift means letters may be postmarked days later, risking ballots, tax returns, and legal deadlines. Mail earlier or get it hand-stamped. 🔗 t.ly/FdF5J

The 2–3% mortgage rate era is losing its grip. In 2026, homeowners are moving again, not because rates fell, but because life, equity, and balance matter more than waiting forever. The lock-in is fading.
