Legislatures renew push for commuter trains on west side of Hudson River Legislators in Orange and Rockland counties want the state to look at running commuter trains on an existing freight rail line.

"The counties are asking the state to β€œfund and initiate” a feasibility study looking at using the CSX West Shore Line for passenger trains. The river-adjacent rail line passes through NY & NJ. Legislators did not estimate how much the study would cost or how long it would take to complete."

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.

The science is abundantly clear: Mifepristone is overwhelmingly safe and effective, whether provided in-clinic, via telehealth, or in a local pharmacy.

Pancreatic cancer is still one of the deadliest cancers. However, there are promising strategies currently under investigation that have been delayed or harmed because of the Trump administration and Elon Musk's DOGE.

CDMRP cuts left no money for many forms of cancer research including pancreatic.

I’m curious regarding MTA use of β€œuptown” vs. β€œnorthbound” within Manhattan having seen both used before. My gestalt is that the latter is more used in service advisories/changes vs. everyday use when the former prevails?

It’s the β€œseason of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a β€œseason of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

A colorful subway advertisement for Dermatologist Dr. Jonathan Zizmor.

November is National Healthy Skin Month, and who better to get you thinking about skin care than #NYC's favorite dermatologist, Dr. Zizmor? We are used to seeing ads on the subway for medical services now, but when Dr. Zizmor began advertising in subway cars in the early 1980s, he was the first.
