Screwworms coming back into the U.S. cattle herd/stock is going to potentially devastate the industry and jack up meat prices. Worst part is, this was preventable. Trump & DOGE pushed funding cuts on/destroyed agencies that were directly responsible for fighting this pest

The World Cup teams are warming up, and so are our affordability initiatives.

We worked with @NYGov @NJGov @FWC26NYNJ & @Roadto26usa to secure a $25 price tag on 2,500 tickets for this weekend’s pre-World Cup ‘friendly’ matches at https://t.co/3bf1nl3cvP — and Sunday’s batch is already sold out!

The joy of the World Cup belongs to every New Yorker, and we want families to know they can cross the river to watch world-class soccer before this historic tournament kicks off in our backyard.

This morning we are introducing COGE — the Commission on Government Efficiency.

This Commission will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people. 

New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.

"In the end, American consumers paid $159 billion in temporary national sales taxes for which most will never be reimbursed a penny. And rather than those taxes being used by the federal government to, say, repave roads or build bridges, most of the money will instead provide corporate windfalls." https://t.co/gkdRAzPBz5

🚨 @mjshrimper on #SaintsFC and Spygate:

“The key evidence was messages between Tonda Eckert and analysts. There appears to have been pushback from the analysts, ‘I’m not sure we should be doing this, I don’t want to do this.’

“Eckert telling them to get on with it, telling them, ‘I hope you come back with better stuff this time, because you didn’t come back with great stuff the previous time.’”

My latest @NYTimes oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran.

By my calculations—and I show my work—it will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands.
