Call me woke or whatever, but I don't think it's even vaguely reasonable to expect the literal mayor of NYC to be prohibited from attending a 9/11 memorial just because a handful of folks affected by it grew up to be malignant racists.
If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.
Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.
The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.
Reporter: "Are you serious about arresting Netanyahu?"
Mamdani: "100%. Yes."
Reporter: "Trump said he won’t."
Mamdani: "He has a warrant for war crimes. Trump may protect him. I won't."
republicans in 2024: “kamala can’t just take joe biden’s place in the election. nobody voted for her. that’s not democracy.”
republicans now: “it’s totally fine that lindsey graham’s sister is taking his place.”
They got rid of DEI to hire people based on merit then turn around and hired lindsey graham's sister for senator simply because she's lindsey graham's sister.
MAGA is absolutely SEETHING today after Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani delivers yet another campaign promise—while they are still waiting for Trump to fulfill his first.
Mayor Mamdani is overhauling New York City Transit, returning 48 hours of travel time per year to New Yorkers. That’s two entire days on a bus eliminated every year.
Here’s what the updates include:
• New rapid bus corridors reserved exclusively for buses.
• Replacement of 40% of the aging fleet with brand-new vehicles. (2,500+ new buses)
• Fast-response dedicated teams assigned to each borough.
• All-door boarding.
• 100 new bus stop shelters.
• New benches and leaning bars installed at 875 bus stops.
• Guaranteed seating at every bus stop.
• New trees and protective covers at every bus stop to shield passengers from the elements.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional definition of birthright citizenship — meaning all children born in the United States are U.S. citizens.
Lieu: Trump overpaid on a no-bid contract to a pool guy who was a total amateur and messed up the Reflecting Pool, and now Trump’s fragile ego has him trying to cover this up by saying someone did a 350-foot gash in the pool. This pool has 24/7 cameras on it. So we’re in a place where the president is just lying because he can’t handle that he totally screwed up the Reflecting Pool.
They are so afraid of you realizing there are politicians who can and actually want to make your life better and not just collect checks from lobbyists and corporations.
Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.
Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.
Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.
And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.
Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.
And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.
Embarrassing.
Peter Doocy: “A wise man once said, in January 2020: ‘Iran has never won a war, but has never lost a negotiation.’”
President Trump: “Who said that?”
Reporter: “Donald Trump.”
Candidate Trump: "I will end inflation on Day One."
President Trump today: "I love the inflation."
You know who doesn't love inflation, Mr. President? Working families struggling to afford gas, groceries and other necessities because of your disastrous actions.
