City Leaders Rip Trump DOT for Pausing Billions for Second Avenue Subway “This is retaliation, plain and simple,” said one representative of East Harlem.

Eric Adams, in memoriam

I am old enough to remember when he held a late Friday afternoon press conference to VEHEMENTLY deny he was dropping out (and scold anyone who claimed that he was)

“The fact that Eric Adams is guided by his ego and what’s best for his personal future — not New York City — shouldn't surprise anyone. Neither should the reports that he’s still trying to figure out how best to serve Donald Trump’s agenda, and to evade accountability while he does it." [2/2]
