Union members knocked doors. Working people voted for change. Now Senate Democrats need to keep their promise.
IAM Union is calling on @SenSchumer to step aside as Senate Democratic leader. Read what IAM President @IAMBrianBryant told @HuffPost.

This is awful + totally true. NYPD literally does not care about saving lives. This tragedy could’ve been avoided if the cop listened to this poor woman. There should be a criminal investigation.
it is wild that you can knock down a whole-ass building after being told not to and once you pay the $10k fine you can simply proceed. that needs to change. also, everyone who was hurt and in some cases killed is a victim of unchecked greed. @nycdsalabor is fundraising to help support them. https://t.co/9888rdUexp
Zohran Mamdani ran on holding negligent landlords accountable. Yesterday in Flatbush a building collapsed and at least 8 are dead. 98 violations per DOB. The site next door worked through a stop work order. Time to hold these motherfuckers accountable.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani praised the construction workers and bystanders who rushed to help rescue people after a three-story building collapsed in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood on Wednesday. At least eight people were killed and 18 others were injured as of Thursday morning.
“Construction workers who had only barely survived themselves turned back and dug victims out of the rubble. People are alive today because of their heroism yesterday.”
Buttigieg is electable ⬇️
And unlike most other potential 2028ers:
☑️ He has both military & executive governing experience.
☑️ He oversaw the biggest federal investment in transportation since Eisenhower.
☑️ He's our most persuasive communicator.
☑️ He has a big policy vision.
The developer of the property adjacent to the fatal Brooklyn building collapse had a record for cutting corners at the construction site, according to records from the city buildings department.
Those documents show that owner Robert Fischman sent a letter to neighboring landlords in June of this year to inform them of an upcoming disturbance: his company would begin excavating the empty lot at 2625 Bedford Ave. to make way for a new apartment building. It was one of many similar projects set to rise in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood.

Shawn Mendes speaks out in support of Palestine:
“My friends and fellow artists, I know it can feel scary to speak up; I feel it now as I type this... I also feel the need to do something to help. The more of us that use our voice, the closer we are to change. If you agree please search your heart, find your courage and do what you can to help. These children in Palestine have had to be brave for too long. It’s our turn to do the same now.”
BREAKING: The Orlando Pride have hired Yolanda Thomas as full-time head coach, the first Black woman with that role in #NWSL history.
Thomas was interim coach since August and joined as an assistant in 2023. She was widely viewed as one of the top assistants in the NWSL.
At an age when he should be surrounded by love and comfort, Hercules found himself abandoned on the streets. 💔
This tiny old man came to us frightened, with badly matted fur and very little trust in people. We've been able to give him a safe place to rest and the care he so desperately needed, but earning his trust will take time.
Right now, Hercules is still scared. He doesn't understand that the people around him only want to help, and we wish more than anything that we could explain to him that he's safe now.
But there's no rush. Just patience, kindness and all the love this little boy deserves.
Welcome to your new chapter, Hercules. We're not giving up on you. ❤️
James Williams was inside his third floor apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn, when his building collapsed into a pile of rubble on Wednesday afternoon, leaving two people dead and more than a dozen injured, some critically, with rescue operations ongoing.
At the Flatbush YMCA, Williams said he couldn't believe what he and his wife went through. The YMCA is a central spot for people to coordinate getting food, shelter and medication.
"Everybody's traumatized, we all are," he said from a wheelchair. "Because one minute we're all just living our normal lives and the next minute before our eyes this just happened—so suddenly."
He said he saw a bright light and then first responders coming to his rescue.
"All I know is I was with the wife and then we just heard some rumbling, and then after the rumbling, the next thing you know just open the door and happen to see the outside," he recalled.
He said the construction had been happening right before the collapse.
"When you know that you have buildings occupied year-round where there's tenants, you've got to be careful," he said. "Even though you've got a job to do but you've still got to be careful."
He thinks something probably went wrong at the construction site. Officials said the cause is under investigation as the rescue efforts continue.

I’m sure he does - but it didn’t collapse until construction was going on deep underground next to it. Was this the ultimate cause? Who approved all this??
My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen.
Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure."
Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.
