"I am thankful the RPD was prepared with staffing..."
At least 12 officers who worked last night were mandated to.
Mandated on a holiday, for a Special Event no less, because we are understaffed by 125+ officers.
It's time for the City to take the staffing crisis seriously.
Operation New Dawn represents a massive, whole-of-government approach under President Trump's leadership to cracking down on violent crimes and crimes against children in great American cities.
This was a sweeping operation in Chicago that brought together 11 different federal agencies across the government who worked together to execute 305 arrests and recover 24 children — many of whom had been reported kidnapped or missing — as well as charging subjects with robbery, kidnapping, drug trafficking, child exploitation and more.
The success of this op and more to come through initiatives like Summer Heat 2.0 should be a clear message that this FBI, our partners and the @TheJusticeDept led by @DAGToddBlanche are full throttle on crushing criminal networks in this country no matter where they are.
Perhaps the most impressive Rochester heat wave on record was the one that occurred in 1936. During the four day event, there were three consecutive days of 100 degrees-plus, including two days with the highest temperature ever measured.
For years, Letitia James has made New York less safe and more expensive.
If she believes she deserves another term, she should defend that record before the people of New York—not hide from it.
Today, I challenged her to a statewide debate series.
🚨 Nobody is telling you what SCOTUS actually handed Trump today..
the headlines say "Trump wins right to fire FTC commissioner"..
that's the smallest version of this story..
here's what actually happened..
since 1935.. Humphrey's Executor v. United States has been the legal wall protecting every "independent" agency from direct presidential control.. antitrust enforcement.. merger reviews.. consumer protection.. labor relations.. securities regulation..
that wall is gone.. 6-3.. Chief Justice Roberts writing..
and here's what nobody wants to say out loud..
Democrats spent the last 4 years loading those commissions with commissioners specifically designed to block Trump's agenda from inside his own executive branch..
Rebecca Kelly Slaughter was one of them.. fired March 2025.. she sued.. today she lost..
the FTC is just the first domino.. NLRB.. SEC.. EEOC.. every commission that wields executive power now sits under the same logic the court just applied..
91 years of precedent.. gone in one opinion..
one carve-out: the Federal Reserve.. explicitly protected.. separate statutory structure.. separate litigation still running..
everything else just became the President's to control..
the "independent" agencies were never truly independent.. today SCOTUS made that the law.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
This morning, I stood with leaders of our great Haitian community in Brooklyn to demand one thing: EXTEND TPS for our Haitian friends and neighbors.
This administration chooses to villainize the Haitian people to pull attention away from their catastrophic failures.
We can’t let them get away with it. Pass our legislation to extend TPS. Protect our incredible Haitian community.
After a pleasantly warm day today, temperatures and dew points in Rochester/Finger Lakes will rise in tandem tomorrow setting the stage for a heatwave later this week (3+ consecutive 90 degree+ days). These are Rochester's record high temps and the years in which they were set:
We may be just getting started here, but we will never take $$ from NYS. New Yorkers deserve local news, free from the grip of the leftist propaganda machine.
NYS @TheDemocrats passed a law that subsidizes the failing local TV news & newspaper industries. Of course, these same local news outlets will ignore whatever their paymasters in Albany tell them to ignore.
Multiple calls for a male running around w/a machete, and reporting that someone's hand has been cut off near Clifford Ave & Joseph Ave #RochesterNY#ROC@ROCHNYCRIMEINFO@barstow_scott@wmorgan2g
RPD arrived requesting EMS into the scene and to expedite. Closing down Joseph
This is bigger than one case. We continue to see troubling trends of young people carrying guns, vehicle thefts, and increasingly dangerous behavior occurring in public spaces.
