Robert Caro’s paragraph on the KKK’s presence in Long Island in the 1920s is the most evocative aside of The Power Broker, imo. Less than 100 years ago these voters’ parents and grandparents made Suffolk County the single most powerful Klan chapter outside the South

Hello, @RepJeffries? I'm reaching out to you as my Congressional Representative to ask that you do not vote for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.

Amtrak has broken its annual ridership record, completing more than 37 million trips in 2026.

It's the third year in a row the transit agency has set a new ridership high.

We didn’t give up input. We stopped inordinate delays structured around redundant input. We still get input and can win debates on merits. We stop stonewalling from an entitled opposition that can’t win on the merits.

The only people complaining are people who delay everything

I think the days of the AI industry acting as their own government are coming to an end.

No one trusts their promises and voluntary agreements outside Trump and the tech overlords who’ve cozied up to him.

I walked by 23rd and the FDR drive yesterday to this.

My office has repeatedly reported issues at this intersection. DSS has offered temporary fixes, but the problem persists.

This is unacceptable. We need an encampment tracking plan that translates into immediate, coordinated action btn city agencies. New Yorkers deserve safe public spaces, and those living on our streets deserve meaningful assistance.

@SIBotWriter @admcrlsn I think you misidentified which party files lawsuits when they lose.

What’s the gotcha here? The garbage trucks are just smol bean who do nothing wrong? It’s a bloodbath out there because of them.

[Wario Calzone @brianvan]

She’s correct? Maybe a little too blunt

Hochul says sees sanitation workers on her morning walks. "Just don't hit me with the trucks when I'm crossing the street," she strangely jokes to boos.
A woman was fatally hit by a Department of Sanition garbage truck while crossing the street earlier this week

@StefanMcGrath @bfishbfish Some people argue this by saying all the earlier generations were responsible and hard-working, and everyone today is stupid, lazy and entitled

Invariably this is projection

Without getting into the whole thing of “is Cincinnati chili as good as pizza”, the world is not more affordable outside of NY and using policy and wealth to intentionally push out middle class residents is a forced migration project that voters don’t have to tolerate.

[Jennifer A. Frey @jennfrey]

Why don't they just leave NYC? I'm not trying to be callous, but there's a whole wonderful world out there that's more affordable.

I was a teacher before law school. I couldn’t convince teenagers to wear deodorant. The idea that teachers are convincing kids that they should get sex changes is utterly ludicrous.

@jaycaspiankang @David_N_Frank So you ticket them.

Assuming cyclists are all criminals from the outset is a fallacy. This is already the law in several states and it works.

@VillageDogworks @SophLebo I went to work on a bike today. What is that, exactly? Did I perform a stunt? Is my trip characterized as a recreational outing? Was my commute less valid than a trip on the R train?

I’m insured, have ID, I’m a citizen. You want new policies targeting me. You’re full of shit
