NEW from me today: Congressional candidate Chuck Park, who is challenging Queens Rep. Grace Meng from the left, never filed a personal financial disclosure for 2025, House Clerk records show. https://t.co/GXm4p6avw4

NEW: The federal official overseeing reforms at Rikers Island has hired back the former DOC investigations chief pushed out shortly after Mayor Eric Adams took office. @TownsendSarena will oversee misconduct probes and discipline cases.

[reuvenblau.bsky.social @ReuvenBlau]

New: The city’s Correction Department is set to renew a multimillion-dollar contract with a prison telecom giant that’s bragged of using recordings of detainees’ private phone calls to train its artificial intelligence model.

The Jewish Defense League, the extremist group once dubbed a terrorist organization by the FBI, is recruiting in Queens – right across the street from the borough's top cop.
