wrote in a 2009 book that he fired a gun at a group of friends at school, thinking it was a toy. Today, he said that incident didn't happen, and that the coauthor of the book must have misunderstood his anecdote.

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA — Mayor Adams was heckled as he made his way through the Colombian port town that tens of thousands of migrants use each year to reach the Darién Gap, the treacherous jungle path smugglers use to bring them from South to North America.
Last night's storm was complicated in that climate change is making these events stronger and more frequent -- but there is plenty of basic governmental failure that makes things worse.
So we have

Thank you all for the very kind words. I've been through this before but it's always disheartening, especially after the last year+.
I'll still be reporting until the end, on July 9. I hear there's some big stuff happening in New York City next week, and I'm not going to miss it

Asked if he wishes he would've done something differently before or on Friday, Adams says he wishes he would've "mobilized" other elected official to join him on the streets during the storm.
We call New York City the Port-Au-Prince of America. We feel the pain our Haitian neighbors feel as the situation grows dire.
To the people of Haiti and our own Haitian community here in New York City, know that we stand with you today and always.

An immigrant from Nepal with TPS says New York isn’t about Times Square or the Staten Island Ferry to him.
“It’s about eating chorizo out in Corona from a street vendor there,” he said, and says he even can point in the right direction of Corona.
“Why is the MTA never on time?” a fourth grader begins as she rattled off a LONG list of questions and problems, ending it with “with all due respect why was Mr. Benjamin Tucker not selected as police commissioner.”
The mayor is now YELLING about pineapple on pizza. "THIS IS NOT CALIFORNIA," he says, adding it's offensive to his Italian ancestors.
Clams on pizza? "We're not in New Haven," he says. Life has certainly been strange over the last 15 or so months.

's speech and didn't know how Jordan Neely died, you wouldn't know he was killed by another subway rider by a fatal chokehold, who was released by the police. It wasn't brought up.
I always wonder -- what "urgent action" will be needed, and if you live in a basement apartment, what are you supposed to do? Is the assumption that everybody has another place to stay until Saturday?
we asked at the end: "do you mean consequences for the man who was killed or the man who put him in the chokehold?" she said: "I have to find out more about the situation, I just saw the video as I was coming in here..."

How prepared is this administration for extreme weather? What messaging beyond tweets was sent out about today’s significant rainfall? There wasn’t a press conference yesterday despite warnings of how bad this could be.
Reminds me of wildfire smoke from earlier in the year
