Senator @aoc.bsky.social can’t come fast enough.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.
The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Good news for the new year! It never made sense that the day the offsprings turned 12 their ride fare went from $1 to $12, making a train ride for a family of 5 much much cheaper on a polluting car then on a sustainable train
New this morning from State Senator @shelleybmayer.bsky.social and Assembly Member Kassay via @cityandstateny.bsky.social: "Lower LIRR and Metro-North fares for families make for a more affordable ride"
Opinion: Lower LIRR and Metro-North fares for families make for a more affordable ride
Starting next month, kids under 18 years old traveling with an adult will pay just $1.

Congestion Pricing is intended to raise $1,000,000,000 for MTA Capital projects annually . At the current fees it raises a little more than half of it. It was supposed to be $15 but then Gov Hochul lowered it to $9
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

One Tuesday morning earlier this month, Michael Hassin decided to record how many giant trucks broke NYC's truck route rules and unlawfully rumbled past his apartment on the Lower East Side.
By noon, he'd already filed 55 complaints into the 311 portal.

In March, Queens DA Melinda Katz made a big deal about indicting cops who allegedly robbed and groped a sex worker.
Last week, her office quietly dismissed the case—and blamed discovery reform for letting the cops walk.

Meter the free car parking spots and close the gap
"Comptroller Brad Lander said Tuesday the city is already facing a $2.2 billion gap in the current year budget, which ends June 30. He estimates Mamdani will have to close a $10.4 billion gap in the next fiscal year, even before accounting for looming federal cuts" www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Mamdani Names NYC Budget Director as $10 Billion Deficit Looms
