Went to my longtime newsstand in Brooklyn this AM after (9!) years of being away. Same owner was there and asked: “Where have you been?” Me, a bit taken aback: “I moved.” Him: “to where, Manhattan?” Me: “Washington DC.” Him: “why would you do that?”

A historic synagogue was burned. Sacred Torahs destroyed. We are thankful no one was injured, but this wasn't random vandalism — it was a deliberate, targeted attack on the Jewish community. Beth Israel survived a KKK bombing in 1967. That it has been attacked again, amid a

This is Sick & Disgraceful!! We cannot tolerate antisemitism!!!
An arsonist set fire to Beth Israel Congregation, the largest synagogue in Mississippi. A house of worship whose history stretches back to 1860 was reduced to ruins in a single moment by the flames of Jew-hatred. The arson against Beth Israel is a repeat of history. In 1967, the

In Iran, the Blood Isn’t Just in the Streets While the world watches protests in the streets, many Iranians risk their lives resisting the regime in private, where arrests, disappearances, and terror unfold beyond cameras. Full Story: https://t.co/tm1ZAllkMx

So Iran slaughtering its own people doesn’t even merit a protest from the phony pro-Hamas activists who have been making fools of themselves.
BREAKING: Live look at Columbia University after they learned that over 2,000 unarmed Iranian civilians have been massacred by the Islamic Republic.

“I’m not proud of being rich,” comedian Ricky Gervais said in 2009. “It’s nothing to be proud of. I was lucky. Why am I paid a million times a nurse’s wages?” Gervais is nominated for a Golden Globe for his stand-up comedy special, “Ricky Gervais: Mortality.”

For over 45 years, Iran has been ruled by an oppressive regime that has arrested, tortured, and murdered those who have spoken out in favor of freedom. Praying for the safety of the Iranian people and for a free Iran that my family can visit again. https://t.co/OoSU10g5J1

No matter our religion or language, we are one city. I was honored to join Park Avenue Synagogue last night for Kabbalat Shabbat with @RabbiCosgrove to speak about unity, leadership, and my Jewish pride.

Dan has been one of the most visionary, capable, and effective leaders we've had in city government -- and he's one of nicest people you'll ever meet, too. Wishing you all the best, Dan, but this is a BIG loss for New York City.
Sharing here that I plan to leave my role at @nycplanning in the coming weeks. After 4 productive years, this is the right moment for me to take on new challenges. I’m very proud of what we achieved, and I believe NYC is on a stronger path because of it.

Hamas must be condemned, not celebrated. This hateful chant serves only to stoke fear among our Jewish neighbors facing rising antisemitism and violence.
Protesters in Queens chant, “Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here”

This former officer trafficked children on the streets of D.C. and at a strip club in Maryland. Then, after serving a seven-year sentence in prison, he resumed sex trafficking teen girls. Barnhill now has 27 years to think over what he did, and we won’t have to worry about his

I am a vocal & passionate support of Mamdani’s But I’ve waited patiently all day for him to forcefully condemn Hamas — watching dozens of other city & state electeds do so — and am still waiting This is not only hurtful to me, but it’s bad politics & distracts from his agenda
