The truth is, we can no longer afford to delay Universal Child Care.

The lack of child care affects every @NYCCouncil member personally - here are some of their stories:

[NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt]

⛈️ Multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms are expected across NYC today into Wednesday, with the strongest storms and greatest severe threat between 6 and 11 p.m. tonight.

🌧️ Expect 1 to 1.75 inches of rain, locally 2 to 3.5 inches where storms repeat, with localized flash flooding possible. It may affect parts of the city differently and unevenly.

💨 Damaging wind gusts of 40 to 70 mph are the main threat, and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

⚠️ Every storm is dangerous no matter its size or severity. When you hear thunder, head inside a sturdy building. Never stay in or re-enter a flooded basement, and do not drive, walk, or swim through floodwaters, you do not know the depth or debris underneath or whether it is electrified. Turn Around, Don't Drown.

Hey NYC: a Tornado Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service. It’s in effect until at least 9 PM tonight for all five boroughs. Let's talk about what that means and how to stay safe! 👇

What's a tornado? 🌪️

It's a violently spinning column of air stretching from a thunderstorm down to the ground, capable of intense winds and flying debris. Tornadoes are genuinely rare in NYC, but today the atmospheric ingredients are there for one to form, which is why we've got a watch. Worth taking seriously.

Watch vs. Warning:

🔹 A Watch (what we have now) means conditions are favorable for tornadoes. Time to prepare!
🔹 A Warning means one's been spotted or picked up on radar. Act immediately.

What should you do? ✅
➡️ Stay alert and keep an eye on the sky
➡️Subscribe to @NotifyNYC by visiting https://t.co/KxYXYC4WKt. Make sure your phone's emergency alerts are on 📱
➡️Know your safe spot: an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows
➡️If a Warning is issued, get there right away
➡️ Bring your people and pets with you! 🐾

Tornadoes here are uncommon, so no need to panic, but a little prep goes a long way.
Stay safe, NYC! 💙⛈️

The reported arson at South Bushwick Reformed Church is unacceptable. This vicious attack on this beloved house of worship is an attack on our community. I stand with the congregation in calling for full accountability for those responsible and rebuilding this landmarked building

ICE activity reported:
At 5:59 PM, 8 agents wearing POLICE and ERO vests were observed speaking with a civilian on Woodbine St between Woodward Ave and Onderdonk Ave. They were carrying pistols. The vehicles on scene, with license plates LZK2039 and LLW9220, are confirmed as ICE

[CM Jen Gutiérrez @CMJenGutierrez]

Our constituents should be aware that ICE attempted to pull over a motorist at Gates Ave and St. Nicholas Ave, claiming they had a warrant. They did not.
When the motorist refused to answer questions and bystanders identified the officers as ICE agents, ICE left the scene.
