Crashes in NYC by vehicle type:
634 e-billke (so far this year)
12,727 cars (2024)
3,245 bikes (2024)
So, clearly we should figure out this car problem, right? But, obviously, that's not what Adams is going to do @nycdot.bsky.social.

Trump is fully backing Adams' re-election bid by holding the Federal money to NYC as hostage if Mamdani is elected.
Trump can't actually do that. However, the point is clear...Adams' is in Trump's pocket.

Would love it if we can get Ranked Choice Voting in the general election instead of just party primaries. The idea of having Adams, Cuomo, Mamdani and Sliwa on the ballot come November is a bit terrifying.

Despite liking Lander, the NY Times throws shade at Mamdani and a little bit at Cuomo and then proceeds to not endorse anyone. Why did you write this op-end @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com

In 2024, 37 pedestrians were injured in the entire year in 179 reported e-bike collisions, the NYPD said. With 9,610 total pedestrian injuries, e-bikes caused 0.4%. 1-2 ton vehicles???

Trump admin A) argues that anyone being imprisoned in a foreign country is beyond the reach of US courts, B) Trump wants to send US citizens to El Salvador, and C) Trump is arresting people who haven’t been accused of any crime.
That is the power of a dictator.

The New York City tolling program began on Jan. 5 after defying obstacles for decades. A move to stop it would likely touch off a legal battle between the state and federal government.
