Our hearts are with Colombian New Yorkers who have lost loved ones, are trying desperately to reach family and friends, and are living through the devastating aftermath of this morning’s earthquake in Colombia.
We know the impact of this earthquake is being felt across the region, and we are holding our Ecuadorian and Venezuelan neighbors in our thoughts as well.
To every New Yorker with family and loved ones in the affected areas: you are not alone. Our city stands with you. As we learn more, we will continue to share information and resources available to those impacted by this tragedy.
Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica.

“What we're seeing now is the slow and cumulative effect of deprivation, manufactured deprivation, over almost three years now. People being left to live in abysmal living conditions.”

Q: Can you give us an estimate of when you think the Strait of Hormuz will be open?
Trump: It’s open now. We control the strait. Can Iran make trouble? Yeah.

The magnitude 7.4 earthquake that shook much of Colombia on Monday caused significant material damage in Pereira, the capital of the department of Risaralda. The earthquake, which occurred at 7:34 a.m. local time, was centered in the town of San Jose del Palmar in Choco at a depth of 82 kilometers, the Colombian Geological Service (SGC) said.
At Matecaña International Airport, part of the roof in an area where several people were located fell, though authorities still have no information on injuries or fatalities.
Videos show the central spire of the San Jose de Pereira church breaking off. At the same time, several people on the street held onto a police motorcycle and other nearby objects as the tremor shook them, amid chaos and confusion among passersby and residents.
Another video recorded in Pereira shows part of a hotel’s facade being destroyed during the earthquake, while the person recording the images says those at the location are safe.
In Manizales, the capital of the department of Caldas, serious damage was also reported, including building collapses. At the same time, the cathedral suffered damage to one of its two towers, which gave way but did not collapse.
