Can someone explain why Michael Blake is saying he got 200k votes for Mayor when he only got 4,389?
I went on Piers Morgan to debate Michael Blake. Blake's running against my Congressman, Ritchie Torres. Blake begged the Jewish community to endorse him when he ran for Mayor and got 0.4% of the vote. Let me be clear: Ritchie Torres has our back. And we have his. Torres '26!

Yes, raising kids in New York is challenging and expensive, but you reach such incredible levels of freedom and experience when they get to be about 9. Makes it all worth it.

Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck at an event today. I don’t care what your politics are. No one deserves to be shot for expressing their freedom of speech. This sets an extremely dangerous precedent for activists across the entire political spectrum.
