MSG requested a permit for a watch party for 500-999 fans. We approved that permit for 999 fans.

Mr. Dolan has now decided to cancel the watch party.

I know this is breaking hearts across our city.

But if there's one thing Knicks fans don't need permission for, it's showing up for our team wherever we may be — no matter the block or the borough.

Knicks in five.

SHE SAID THAT‼️

@VP #KamalaHarris on breaking barriers.

If you’ve ever been the “other” — the only one in the room, or place of business that looked like you, you know exactly what this is about.

“Breaking barriers does not mean you start on one side of the barrier and you end up on the other side. There’s breaking involved… and when you break things you get cut, and you may bleed.”

"We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that fucking door down!"

On Labor Day, take a moment to appreciate the workers who have helped make America what it is today. Their grit, determination, and hard work over decades have changed our country for the better.

Today we also recognize the American labor movement that has fought tirelessly to improve the wages, benefits, and working conditions for people everywhere. I’m proud of the work they’ve done—and still do—to put the American dream within reach.

A bill to codify a woman's right to choose into state law and expand access to reproductive health care for all just passed both houses of the Legislature.

I will sign this bill into law this week. With Roe v. Wade under attack, the need for this bill is more urgent than ever.

Not only did the Trump Administration make it harder for some AAPI communities to get help navigating the housing market, they also enabled predatory lenders to target Asian Americans. My colleagues and I are urging the Biden Administration to end these discriminatory policies ⬇️

The coordinated media attacks orchestrated by the right-wing echo chamber are designed to elicit exactly these type of threats and harassment that are flooding my email and social media accounts. They want to make me afraid to speak and do the type of work I do. I will not stop.

When we say defund, we’re talking about needing to divest from the parts of our society that are harming and killing us—and invest in the parts that help keep us healthy and alive.

We deserve life.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Democrats passed a historic relief package to expand vaccines, safely reopen schools, and help families. It’s a powerful bill that will make a real difference. There’s a lot of good stuff in it but I want to highlight two things:
