✨It’s official✨ I’m @NYCComptroller @bradlander’s press secretary! 🗞:@politicony + @CityAndStateNY

Comptroller Lander was on the side of the Municipal Building today shooting a video a staffer describes as "office-related" (I.e. not about a potential congressional run or something like that). The commentary in below video, shot by Rev. Frederick Crawford, is quite something.

Breaking: Comptroller Brad Lander is headed to trial — by choice — on federal misdemeanor charges for trying to inspect conditions at 26 Federal Plaza. The other pols arrested alongside him in Sept got ACDs following mediation talks this morning.

After a chaotic week, City Comptroller Brad Lander ended election night at a taco truck. ‘I settle in at my kitchen table,’ he writes in this week’s Grub Street Diet, ‘and read the results from other races across the country.’

As someone born and bred in the Bay, this is beautiful

crazy the next mayor of New York City is likely a SEN10R

Good fucking riddance to your flame out comms strategy 👋🏼

To quote the best boss in the biz: "GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

Thanks @StephCW_ @chloecbristow @naomi_dann for the great costumes and bad puns.

Joel Camas is a 16 yr-old NYC high schooler in the Bronx. He loves soccer & pepperoni pizza. Yesterday, his lawyer and I accompanied him to an ICE check-in. He has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status—it should have been fine. But it was not.💔 [thread]

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

I was in Italy when Cuomo resigned; now I'm in Chile when Adams drops out. Maybe I should go on vacation more often to clean up corruption?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today (w/ @NYSenatorRivera), where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital.

NEW: 11 Democratic officials were arrested after showing up at 26 Federal Plaza and demanding access to the ICE holding cells on the 10th floor, refusing to leave. Others were arrested outside after blocking the building exit during a sit-in protest. https://t.co/bcuxrBgzXO

JUST NOW: NYC Comptroller @bradlander was arrested by DHS police a SECOND time at 26 Federal Plaza. Lander refused to leave the 10th floor until he was allowed to inspect ICE holding cells there. He was arrested with 10 other state elected officials.

Several New York city and state elected officials demand to be let into ICE holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza. They say they won't leave until they're allowed inside.

Happening NOW: New Yorkers Against ICE! We are at 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE abducts immigrant New Yorkers, to demand access to the 10th floor and block ICE vans from leaving. NYers refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY

NYC power brokers say Trump’s tariffs, immigration crackdown and federal budget cuts are the biggest threat to the city and its future — not Mamdani https://t.co/HEXxf5rY7q

HUGE victory for NYC workers! ✊ In a groundbreaking agreement, our Office reached a $3 million settlement for prevailing wages owed to workers hired to clean and disinfect subway cars during the Covid-19 pandemic.
