Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.
As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.
It’s time to find out who’s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and who’s been hiding behind power.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?
If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

Oh, a “monitor bias”? Cute. Just call it what it is — a Censorship Czar.
This isn’t about fairness or facts. It’s about control. The President overseeing what media outlets can report? That’s not democracy — that’s a slow crawl toward authoritarianism.
My God.

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying.

Our worst fears are here. With Trump’s new bill, the police state is no longer looming—it’s official.
Expect more raids on a massive scale, shattered families, and a brutal crackdown on humanitarian protections.
