The fight over space is the important dynamic at play in cities and beyond right now—and @WinnHu and I are writing a whole book about it ☀️ So excited to talk about how less is more, and dig deep into the solutions out there to address the greatest urban challenge of our time.

People come to New York City from all over the world to experience Broadway. The kids who grow up here should be able to do the same. We’re partnering with @TDFNYC to give away over 2,000 free Broadway tickets to NYC High School students through a free-to-enter lottery. Break a leg, high schoolers! Enter the lottery now at on.nyc.gov/broadway.

Couldn't agree more. We'll win this series on the court (even if the refs refuse to call a flagrant on Wemby), not by targeting, harassing, or attacking Spurs fans. Knicks in 5.
Being a Knick fan doesn’t mean being disrespectful to Spurs fans in any way…we get caught up during the games but we gotta show respect to our fellow humans…

🚨WOW!! Larry Summers opened his class today by addressing the shame he feels because of what he did with Epstein “Some of you will have seen my statement of regret, expressing my shame, with respect to what I did in communication with Mr. Epstein.” They are all going down and they know it!!!

Ok, so looks like I was wrong. Analysis from @Gothamist indicates that voters over 55 dominated early voting this weekend, which is not a good sign for Zohran. In my community, working-class older democrats have organized “against socialists,” and there has been no effort to reach out to them by the left. Even though many of them stood with me in fighting against Cuomo in the past, they now stand with him.
Thanks to the efforts of more billionaires to promote Andrew Cuomo, a record number of new and young voters are coming out to vote early. First, NYers reject morally depraved politicians who lack character. Second, Cuomo is a terrible retail politician - a confident Cuomo looks like a creepy abuser, and a tamed Cuomo looks like a frail and scared man. The only winnable version of Cuomo was through a reformed man who held himself accountable for assaulting women and killing older adults. But just like Trump, he is another fake warrior, tough guy born on third base, and will punch down to their graves. Zohran represents the total opposite of all this. He is a fresh restart button that voters are desperate to push.

🚨NEW YORK’S CANAL STREET IS SAFER: 9 illegal aliens arrested have violent rap sheets including robbery, burglary, domestic violence, assaulting law enforcement, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, drug possession, and forgery. Under President Trump and @Sec_Noem, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Regular street-sweeping reminder: those opposing changes to the status quo on NYC streets are primarily seeking to protect their privilege of free on-street parking, at the expense of pedestrians, @NYCTBus riders, and #bikeNYC. 🙄 – at Upper West Side, Manhattan
The bi-weekly Street Sweeper Dance is the clearest demonstration that those opposing changes to the status quo on New York’s streets are primarily seeking to protect their privilege of free on-street parking, at the expense of pedestrians, bus riders, and #bikeNYC. 🙄

Replying to @NYCSchools
@NYCSchools K-12 enrollment (excl charter) dropped by 11% since 2019, to current 815K. This is helped by 40K migrants, and students already locked in, i.e high school students. Kindergarten enrollment, "the pipeline" shows 19 districts had steeper drops than 11%.

Re-elect Donald Trump and New York City bans broker fees and revives congestion pricing in the same week. These four years are going to be a rollercoaster for urban politics, whoa.
