Mamdani official responds to NYC hospital ending its transgender care program
YouTube video by NY1 Mamdani official responds to NYC hospital ending its transgender care program

On Thursday Last night I joined @errollouis.bsky.social on Inside City Hall (@spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social) to talk about the alarming decision by several hospitals (starting with NYU Langone) to stop providing gender-affirming care in NYC, against city and state law.

Headline: "Good news! Pete Hegseth wanted Scouting America to ban trans kids. The organization said no way!"

Actual story: "We do not put boys and girls together in intimate spaces and in order to do that we need to have some knowledge of who they are," Krone said.

The world is on fire right now because of him, but he's not going to let that ruin his weekend

Young people are dying overseas while the man who sent them there is working on his golf swing. For some leaders, war is tragedy. For Trump, it’s just background noise between tee times.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime.

Dear ICE - There is no statute of limitations for murder. Law enforcement, including ICE, does not have absolute immunity. Presidencies end. Accountability does not.

Idaho Republicans’ New Extreme Bathroom Bill Carries 5-Year Prison Sentence, Applies to All Private Businesses The bill, which has already garnered support among legislators, imposes a statewide bathroom ban with penalties as severe as the state’s abortion law. It's the harshest anti-trans bill ever proposed.
