Outraged by Biden health lies? "We should be equally furious at the lies that officials & the progressive press have told us about public safety & “justice reform” laws built on false narratives." I propose fixes to boost accountability for danger. @nypost https://t.co/fHGqOekYpa

Quelle surprise: in cop-trashing @AOC's district, crime's up 70%, per @nypost exclusive. I'm quoted “It’s her district, she’s supposed to be looking out for people there...You’re not helping the victims of crime by talking about how the system is racist." https://t.co/hqxD9Nigvw
More well-deserved, high praise for Peter Moskos’ new book ‘Back From The Brink,’ a veritable oral history told by those who helped to pull New York back from the abyss of uncontrolled crime and disorder in the 90s. This should be a must read for our current crop of political leaders in New York City and Albany whose badly flawed and failing criminal justice reform efforts have once again brought us back to the edge of that abyss. https://t.co/Oj6toqZeLj
5/5: "“Back from the Brink” is a remarkable tribute. It shows how unconventional thinkers, novel ideas, a few drinks and a lot of grit can produce real, lasting progress." https://t.co/7XP4zEYVMM
🧵1/5: So jazzed about my @nypost review of the great @PeterMoskos's fantastic new book on NYC's 1990's crime drop. "It packs a powerful — and desperately timely — message for New Yorkers in 2025: Don’t believe the “experts” & academics who tell you police don’t reduce crime."
4/5: "How? Police leaders were given support “to try new ideas” & a fresh policing philosophy was adopted, “one focused on reducing crime, fear of crime, & disorder. The book’s genius is in providing a veritable oral history of this experimentation & revolution from the inside."
Tzeela Gez was on her way to the hospital yesterday to give birth to her fourth child, when Palestinian terrorists from the West Bank opened fire on the Israeli vehicle. She was murdered, her son delivered and is now fighting for his life. This what Intifada means.
"Stern once filmed the guy whizzing on his building and showed it to police — “on my phone, the stream coming out of him.”" In @nypost, I cover the mixed evolution in NYC's response to homeless disorder--and positive signs for NYPD effectiveness to come. https://t.co/9ga8HwGpm4
"NY’s criminal justice system needs to make prosecution and incarceration “disciplinarian” enough to both deter bad behavior & keep those in a “time-out” who need one. Good policing is not enough." In @nypost I write on the sad loss of Harlem's "Momma Zee" https://t.co/KiY9a54MDm
@LapollaForNY@JamesSkoufis@EachusAD99 .@HannahElka describes the “band-aid on a sucking chest wound,” pathetic “solution” from Albany. Seven years of Democratic rule and this why NYS leads the nation in outmigration. It’s the policies, stupid.

5/5: "But the reality that Albany is ruled by an ideological distaste for imposing criminal consequences on those who break the law remains a big downer." Read my breakdown of the new bill: https://t.co/hPWcz3HrBi
🧵1/5: In @nypost, I note several small "wins" in NY's discovery law deal. But @GovKathyHochul "asked for way too little and got less. NY’s discovery regime will remain the nation’s most biased toward defendants — and most wasteful of taxpayer money and public-servant manhours."
4/5: In a state where “progressive” legislators dominate policymaking — often pushed even further left by their AOC-adoring staffers — these modest but substantive improvements to New York's discovery law may be something to celebrate."
