This is deeply, deeply frustrating.
If the Giants win today they will be 8-30 in their last 38 games. 4 of those 8 wins will have been in Week 17 or 18 when they’re long eliminated from playoff contention and only playing for draft positioning. You really can’t make it up

Keith and I ran into our successors at the inauguration. They kindly took pity on us as municipal elders and allowed us to rest our weary bones for a moment. @kaymsanto @vmmaloney @KeithPowersNYC

Even in the cold, wishing a warm congratulations to Mayor @ZohranKMamdani, Comptroller @MarkLevineNYC, and Public Advocate @JumaaneWilliams on their inaugurations! Looking forward to working with them along with my Council colleagues to deliver a stronger, more affordable NYC.

Incredible stat! As of today, NYC has recorded 1,000 FEWER shooting victims than in 2021. And 235 fewer than last year. Merry Christmas to the men and women of the NYPD who have delivered such an unprecedented reduction in violent crime this year.

In support of @nynurses, now and always. 💪🏻
NEW: 97% of nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals have voted "Yes" to authorize a strike for better patient care. Contracts for over 20,000 nurses expire on Dec. 31.

It is diabolical that the final move of the Mayor is to *guarantee* that 1+ million tenants get a rent increase.
NEW: @NYCMayor is adding 2 new members to the Rent Guidelines Board, and reappointing 2 current members The moves ensure a majority of Adams appointees will remain on the 9-member RGB and complicate @ZohranKMamdani's pledge to "Freeze The Rent" https://t.co/9zeKrxSq7X

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

I asked Council Member Paladino to take down the post, and she did. I also urged that in this moment, we need to bring all communities together, not further divide them. Rhetoric that vilifies an entire community only serves to inflame tensions at a moment when New Yorkers must

Another racist deplorable statement from this colleague. New York City is strong because people of every faith live, work, and stand up for one another. We deserve elected officials who uplift those values, not this bigotry.
