This evening, I joined Upper East Side residents for an @nycHealthy Town Hall on the Legionnaires’ disease cluster.

My office and I will continue to advocate for the health and safety of our neighbors, and seek answers to their questions as the City’s investigation continues.

Please remember: If you live, work, or have visited ZIP codes 10028, 10128, or 10075 in recent weeks and begin to experience flu-like symptoms, we urge you to speak to your healthcare provider.

This reported plot targeting Jewish New Yorkers is horrifying and deeply unsettling.

At a time when Jewish communities are already facing rising fear and antisemitism, this serves as another painful reminder that hate-fueled violence is real and cannot be minimized or ignored.

Thank you to law enforcement for thwarting this threat and keeping New Yorkers safe.

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

Ensuring students and congregants can enter and exit their schools and houses of worship without fear of harassment or intimidation should not be controversial.

The safe access bills simply require the NYPD to clearly outline how they will ensure safe access when there are threats of obstruction or physical injury, while fully protecting First Amendment rights.

I actually think reacting to Trump's post this morning with some hysteria is a good thing. It's a totally unhinged, immoral thing to say as president, and it should continue to shock us. He doesn't have to nuke Iran for it to be abhorrent and deranged. Just have some standards.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

My hot take about the next few years is that decency is going to make a comeback. I don't actually think there are many Americans left who appreciate or enjoy this era we are living through; I think the indecency has been tapped. It'll just take a decent, charismatic leader.

The Anxious Generation was published two years ago today, in a very different world. Back then, the most common objection I got was resignation: "The train has left the station." "You can't put toothpaste back in the tube." "It's how the kids connect today."

Today, the world looks very different. It turns out that if our kids were all on a train and we learned it was heading toward a collapsed bridge, we'd find a way to stop it and bring them safely back to the station. That’s what’s happening now.

After the historic verdicts in Los Angeles and New Mexico, today is a great day to reflect on the capacity of people in democratic societies to take action, even when opposing some of the most powerful corporations in history. We're getting access to the courts. We're getting phone-free schools. We're seeing whole neighborhoods letting kids out to play, unsupervised, which is what we older folk all remember as the best part of childhood.

So I want to recognize:

--The mothers (and, right behind them, fathers) who rose up by the millions and powered the movement.

--The farsighted governors and legislators in red states and blue states who have been innovating on policy solutions.

--The leaders of a dozen of nations, who are raising the age to 16 for opening social media accounts (with a special shoutout to Australia, for going first).

--The teachers and school administrators who had their classrooms disrupted for 15 years, and who are now eager to think through new solutions as screens have taken over and obstructed learning.

--The grassroots organizations who have been dedicating their efforts to advocate for all of the above in their local communities.

--The millions of members of Gen Z who have been rising up, demanding agency over how they spend their lives in the digital era, and finding better ways to connect in real life.

And one final group: the survivor parents--the ones you saw in those pictures of people embracing on the front steps of the LA courthouse. I have met many over the years. I am in awe of their courage and tenacity, their willingness to tell their stories of loss, over and over again, to different audiences, in the hope that no other parent would have to endure what they have endured. At long last, juries and legislatures are hearing you, and are acting.

Together, we are calling the train back to the station. Together, we are rolling back the phone based childhood and reclaiming life in the real world.

The work continues. If you’re not already involved, join us: https://t.co/HdJDTKOQ3T

The Cries of Isaac and Ishmael | Rabbi Angela Buchdahl | Erev Rosh HaSha... https://t.co/AK7J7DN9e6 via @YouTube

Powerful, courageous and moving sermon by the brilliant Rabbi Buchdahl. Empathy is our superpower. During this time of reflection, worth a listen.

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

Remarkable uptick in negative views of Project 2025. In just three weeks, it went from being viewed unfavorably by 19% of the public to 43% - as rapid a polling rise for a policy agenda as I can remember in that short a time period.

The majority of Americans, Democrats and Republicans alike, have favorable opinions of Medicaid. @Morning_Joe

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Project 2025 plans to massively decrease the number of Americans on Medicaid. In states like Virginia and Wisconsin, over 40% of enrollees could lose coverage. @Morning_Joe

Damn, he’s gotta be good at this too. Just kidding. This guy is so much more than an athlete.

Quite a moment to be back on campus, as an alumni and reunion ambassador, for a day of reflection and discussion on the issues of the day and to celebrate impact of #Seeples.

[Columbia | SIPA @ColumbiaSIPA]

Happy Alumni Day! We're happy to welcome around 250 Seeples back to campus for a day of exciting conversations and reflection on their journeys post-SIPA.

[Jordan Reisner @jsreisner]

@TweetBenMax @NYLawSchool What a great fit!
