I'm usually the only one, or one of 2 or 3. But the 2 times Covid snuck into my household, it was because of contact with people who just got off flights.

When is The View going to have me on the show or are they just going to continue to let an abuser spout lies on their show?

incredible damage to NYC community--Bluestockings was an incredible bookstore, but also the place that would eagerly welcome local high school kids who didn't feel safe having LGBTQ support gatherings on campus, sell your insane zine and treat you like an author, host highbrow panels, devastating

I agree! He was doing really well, and would've found his footing this season. I always enjoyed him in sketches; he committed to his characters, didn't over rely on cue cards, and was clearly talented. Really unfortunate that SNL made this decision. May he thrive elsewhere.

There is a checkpoint like this every single night in DC. DC police stop cars and ICE is on hand to question drivers. This is deeply not normal, but becoming a regular part of DC life.

Governor JB Pritzker joined elected officials, business, faith, and education leaders, community advocates, and law enforcement leaders to condemn the Trump administration’s plan to deploy the National Guard or active duty military in Chicago despite objections from state and local leadership.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.

Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.

There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced.

I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share.

These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

When you’re so busy crowing about your political motivations that you forget to pretend you did it for the Jews.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Bernie and Zohran smiling.

Bernie may be the great Senator from Vermont but he’s Brooklyn through and through.

An absolute honor to meet with one of my heroes and the champion for working people across our country, Bernie Sanders.

Donald Trump wants to make New York gridlocked again. We're not going to let that happen.

We went on FOX 5 NY to talk about the massive success of congestion pricing's first six months:

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Garcia on Mamdani: "What he was able to do was capture the energy of the people on the ground that right now are struggling and want their costs lowered. Democrats should take lessons from his win. He ran an excellent campaign ... he had good ideas."

Warren on CNBC on Mamdani: "You misunderstand what his campaign was about. His campaign was saying, 'I want to invest in NYC. I want to invest in people being able to have good jobs here, put their kids in school and build housing.' And he built a grassroots campaign. He didn't have a billionaire."

I was in college when Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, deepening the immiseration of millions of Americans for generations. His endorsement should be poison.
