While you were distracted by the Epstein files, RFK jr just updated the CDC website with his anti-vax talking points.

This is dangerous and irresponsible.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

Th ank you New York City!

Now let’s get to work.

The new comptroller for NYC.
Competently trolling Greg Abbot.

Friends, allow me to (re)introduce New York City's next Comptroller...

You don’t need to add any more disincentives, Gov.

There’s already your higher crime, shakier power grid, and worse pizza.

Mark Levine is our pick to be the next Comptroller. As Manhattan BP, Mark's led the fight to expand the Hudson River Greenway, advocated for more public restrooms and for tearing down part of the FDR Drive, and lots more.

DESIGN JUST DROPPED

Added bonus for everyone who votes in NYC tomorrow: special edition “I voted” sticker

The current homepage of @usdagov.bsky.social.

This is deranged. Almost certainly a violation of the law. And if it's not, it should be.

Early voting has begun in one of the most consequential elections in NYC history.

Today is also the last day to register to vote: nycvotes.turbovote.org

Early voter hours 👇

This is reprehensible. It's blatant Islamophobia that is an afront to NYC's entire Muslim community. This hatred has no place in our city, our politics, or our party.

The maga crowd calls us terrorists. They say we hate America. But we are out here because we love our country and we’re not afraid to fight for it. We are the real patriots. #nokings

Murders per 100k residents:
* Houston 19.0
* Dallas 16.6
* San Antonio 15.9
* Ft. Worth 10.8
* NYC 4.6

Last night's layoffs are right out of the Project 2025 playbook, executed by its architect Russ Vought.

These illegal layoffs cannot be left to stand. We need to fight them on every front. We need these public servants back on the job immediately. Lives are literally on the line. 3/3

Almost every critical function of the CDC has now been undermined. Our ability to identify, respond to, and plan for outbreaks has been dealt a devastating blow.

This comes after a leadership purge, multiple rounds of defunding, and relentless anti-science attacks on the agency by RFK Jr. 2/3

Trump just eviscerated the CDC.

This is not hyperbole.

Using the shutdown as a pretext, last night he fired—illegally—100s of key scientists, disease detectives, immunologists, respiratory disease experts, the entire Office of the Chief Medical Officer, the CDC's entire Washington office, etc. 1/3

Data on shootings in NYC so far in 2025 is just out:

Lowest on record for first nine months of any year in NYC history. Ever. Since modern reporting began in 1960s.

Remind the world of this every time Trump says he is going to send the military into our streets to save us.

This will damage the nation’s largest and most important economic engine but hey this administration is always happy to shoot the country in the foot in the name of political vengeance…

The current homepage of HUD.gov.

This is unhinged. This should not be legal.

NYC is a trillion-dollar economy that sends far more to Washington in taxes than we ever get back (unlike most red states living off our subsidy).

If Trump cuts our federal funding, will he also stop collecting our taxes?

NEW: Monthly data just out shows NYC lost 4,500 jobs in August.

The employment slowdown is real, nationally and locally.

Trans and gender expansive students in NYC are under attack. Thank you Manhattan Borough President @marklevinenyc.bsky.social for pushing back against this dangerous rhetoric. NYC Mayor Eric Adams should be ashamed.

The Trump admin has threatened to cut funding for magnet schools in NYC unless we abandon our policies ensuring respect for trans students.

Alarmingly the mayor has responded by echoing Trump’s talking points.

My letter urging the City to stand firm in the face of this threat:

Trump Is Breaking Americans’ Trust in Doctors "The President riffed on claims so easily disproven that they bordered on absurd," writes Dr. Craig Spencer.

After yesterday’s rambling press conference on acetaminophen and autism, I wrote for TIME about the disastrous medical guidance offered by the president and why this was even worse than the ‘inject bleach’ press conference during Covid

Big news: With RFK Jr waging an all-out war on science, Northeast states are standing up the Northeast Public Health Collaborative to make our own vaccine recommendations and coordinate strategy. Includes NYS, NYC, NJ, MA, CT, RI, PA & ME.

We need much more of this.

The sky over the WTC memorial is crystal blue clear right now. Exactly like it was on that horrific day 24 years ago.

I am feeling painful parallels this morning to that horrible time. This is truly the most fearful for the future of our country I’ve felt since then.
