.@ZohranKMamdani wants to evict the Elizabeth Street Garden -- that is a mistake.
The Elizabeth Street Garden is one of NYC’s most cherished treasures, a green oasis in the middle of a concrete neighborhood that has brought joy, education, and community to residents, especially children, for decades.
I am committed to saving this precious garden and to delivering affordable housing - not by destroying what’s beautiful, but by building smarter and better.
This is how we move forward: protecting what makes New York unique while creating the homes our families need.
A win-win for everyone.

Look at my face for how you’re supposed to look when pictured with ppl with whom you tend to disagree policy-wise. On this occasion, for me, I was happy that we’d increased affordability at 5WTC but dissatisfied w/the amount & the @openny@openplans shills responsible
Astoria the Wild Turkey continues to rest in the shade during the hottest times of these hot days, eating lightly and staying hydrated with a water container nearby (though out of photo view). Her friends check on her every day. 🦃 ❤️
BREAKING: Issa Rae cancels next month’s event at the Kennedy Center in DC.
The media mogul, who hosted events at the center back in 2022 called President Trump’s newly elected position as a chair member of the center, “an infringement.”
BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just shut it down. No recess appointments, no cabinet approvals—Trump’s team is officially locked out.
This isn’t just a casual move; the Supreme Court has made it clear that the Senate must recess or adjourn for at least 10 days before a president can make unilateral appointments.
But here’s the catch: pro-forma sessions keep the Senate technically “open” during long breaks, with a lone senator showing up to open and close the chamber—no real business, just optics. And the House plays its part too, blocking any chance for the Senate to fully adjourn.
McConnell’s maneuver leverages these rules to maximum effect, ensuring Trump’s team is stalled at every turn.
Tactical genius or just petty politics? Either way, the gridlock is real.
