Let me be VERY clear for those of you in the back. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in our known history will "collapse the government as we know it," then the government as we know it needs to collapse.
Today is my last first day of school.
In June 2027, I’ll become the first Black man to graduate from Indiana University’s Triple Board Residency Program.
The accomplishment is meaningful.
The journey to get here is even more meaningful.

Mamdani: The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy, where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
How small they are, how weak, how unoriginal.
At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics, and the cheapest. But time and again-including 250 years ago-those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress.
And yet today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted-but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum.
As we mark 250 years, what do we see?
We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world— one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands —those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone —and we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.
Mississippi police shot and killed a 1-year-old child who was in the car with his mother.
Autopsy reports reveal the child was shot through the side of the car, contradicting officers' claims that the car was heading towards them.
There’s somebody making $22,000/year in rural America going to bed right now that sincerely believes Donald Trump spent his whole day fighting for them.
Hunter Biden says they investigated his entire life for two years and all they found was an $800,000 tax bill he’d already paid and a checked box on a gun form, a law 85 million Americans break too
“Finally, after two years, they come back and offer me a plea agreement because I failed to pay my taxes on time, which I had paid, with penalties and interest of over $800,000”
“After I got sober, I found out I hadn’t filed my taxes, so I paid them, with penalties and interest”
“And during that period of time, I bought a gun. And I checked a box to say I was not currently an addict. When I walked into that store, I didn’t think I was an addict. I was at least three days clean”
“Every single person in the United States today, based on the law I was prosecuted for, if you’ve ever smoked pot, or smoke it even remotely regularly, and you own a gun, you’re in violation of that same law”
“Which means about 85 million Americans are. But they prosecuted me for it. We can’t find a single other case”
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the city is implementing several new "first-of-their-kind" measures in order to beat the heat.
Thousands of LinkNYC kiosks across the five boroughs will display routes to the nearest cooling center, which Mamdani says shouldn't be more than a 10-minute walk.
There will also be "cool vans" stationed around the city to provide hydration and electrolytes, meals (including vegetarian, kosher and halal options), plus transport to the nearest cooling center.
In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession.
Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council.
We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will.
Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.
The sitting president of the United States had to pay $5 million to a woman he raped and defamed, and not one person in his entire cult of a party is calling for his resignation.
Not one.
