US law is clear: No nation blocking US humanitarian aid can receive US weapons.
Palestinian children are forced to eat pet food and bug infested flour, but @SecBlinken says there’s no need to change our policy. The Biden administration is refusing to comply with US law.

To any terrorist who kills Americans, threatens the American people, or threatens our troops, or our interests, know this, - we will always bring you to justice. @VP remarks on the killing of Yahya Sinwar

Public defender here. Innocent until proven guilty & lover of due process - the question here isn’t whether he’s guilty of a crime & should be prosecuted. The question is whether in this moment he’s capable of governing. Admin is in shambles & he cannot. So, yes he should resign.

What happens when you make a cop mayor of NYC?
Police overtime goes from $4 million in 2022 to $155 million now.

Eric Adams leads with corruption and mismanagement. 15+ of his associates are now under investigation. If his track record of cutting critical services and empowering NYPD abuse didn’t make it clear: Eric Adams is unfit to govern. NY deserves better. It’s time for him to resign.

He was shot by another cop who shot 3 other people over 2 dollars and ninety cents. That's technically a mass shooting committed by a police officer on duty, over 3 dollars.
Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

The targeting of Haitian migrants really feels like sold your soul-level foul. Completely nasty even when measured against the low bar of American conservatism.

Few things make me feel angrier than the way AI is being forced on us, making so many very basic things suddenly complicated.

It's a bummer to watch the outdoor eating/drinking spaces in New York City get dismantled during a covid spike and at a time of year when we still have like...two months of summer weather left thanks to climate change.

When the LIRR conductor asks for my ticket I'll use this @KathyHochul quote:
"It's just too much for New Yorkers at that time. $15 all at once"

$54 million is less than 1/3rd of the 2nd Avenue Subway utility relocation contract and 0.33% of the $16.5 billion hole you gouged in the MTA capital plan when you paused #CongestionPricing.
Had you simply followed the law there would be $83.5 million for transit by now.

It's telling Israel (allegedly) can conduct pinpoint operations thousands of kilometers away to a capture target with precision, yet just two kilometers from home, they use 5-ton bombs on families to eliminate minor threats.
PS the hostages are still in Gaza.

Partly this is people not knowing how to pirate but it's also almost definitely a polite way for someone to say they have no interest in watching what you recommended

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.
