“Andrew Cuomo is a snake and a liar. I am the only one who can beat Mamdani,” NYC Mayor Eric Adams says, stating he intends to stay in the race

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

They just decided to torment this man in one way after another for no apparent reason — pure Kafka.

Mayor Adams will veto a common-sense bill that requiring Instacart to pay its delivery workers the same minimum wage that other delivery workers get. The increasingly right-leaning mayor once supported the bill, but no more. @sophlebo.bsky.social breaks it: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/12/a...

In court today, Kaplan heard about migrants sleeping in areas that reek of sewage and ICE agents “holding up a water bottle and spraying it into the mouths of the individuals who wanted water as if they were animals.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.

Congressional reps have been denied access to the 10th Floor at Federal Plaza on the grounds that it's not a detention facility. Videos, testimony and data reviewed by @thecity.nyc show dozens held there for days, sleeping on the floor, subsisting on cookies, and using an open toilet stall

Hell Gate has been reporting from New York City's immigration courts, observing the workplace banter and water cooler talk from federal agents as they spend their days arresting New Yorkers post-hearings. Click the link to learn what life is really like inside 26 Federal Plaza and 290 Broadway.

This is such a strong piece by Liv Veazey for @hellgatenyc.com offering the banality of ICE agents as they huddle and lounge around Lower Manhattan, engaging in the most barbaric of activities, kidnapping and holding people in a gulag and then talking about slurpees. hellgatenyc.com/what-ice-age...

"Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought," fired federal prosecutor Maurene Comey writes in letter to colleagues at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

“Hi! It’s me again. I go by ‘Andrew’ now. I wear short sleeved collared shirts, I walk the streets of New York (between 54th and 96th Streets, from First Ave to Fifth Ave) and I’m showing up for you (until September polling shows me losing to Mr. Mamdani again)”

The data @haidee.bsky.social and @gwynnefitz.bsky.social obtained confirms what's been clear on the ground: most people who got arrested by ICE in recent weeks don't have criminal records.

Over the weekend, the Trump Administration celebrated Independence Day with the timeworn American tradition of increasing the privilege of the ruling class while swindling everyone else. Here's what New Yorkers need to know.

I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:

In the past two weeks, we seemed to watch Brad Lander evolve in front of our very eyes: From a measured civil servant who releases long, detailed reports, to a ball-busting, rollercoaster-riding mayoral candidate who practices civil disobedience and curses out Cuomo. hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

JUST IN: "Tonight was not our night," Cuomo says before adding that he has called Mamdani to congratulate him.

Asked if the Trump admin will comply with Judge Farbiarz’s order to release Mahmoud Khalil, a DHS spokeswoman says, “An immigration judge, not a district judge, has the authority to decide if Mr. Khalil should be released or detained.”

The subway is great: I just saw a group of people are take tequila shots with a group of strangers after one guy from group 2 said he would do the shot the friend from group 1 didn’t want to take

For our latest Talk Mayor to Me series, @oliviabensimon.bsky.social spoke to voters in Jackson Heights, and on the Staten Island Ferry. "I was at work and I was telling [my coworker], 'Yo, I'm really gonna vote this time. This is some serious shit."

Telling me "the subway is so dangerous now" is my immediate sign that you need your TV taken away and your news algorithm adjusted www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...?

Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

The jury in Sean Combs’s trial will be asked to determine if women who engaged in marathon sex sessions with escorts did so because they were under threat. Measuring the extent to which relationships are participatory versus coercive is among the most difficult tasks jurors can be asked to confront.

Several thousand now marching through Lower Manhattan after a rally against ICE arrests at federal buildings in NYC

with so many people claiming some type of superpower that grants the ability to discern citizenship status on sight, it's good to remember that even immigration officials have mistakenly arrested and attempted to deport U.S. citizens for literal decades. www.propublica.org/article/more...

We went to the Brighton Beach Tashkent and the Park Slope Food Coop to ask New Yorkers about the issues that matter most to them, and who they like (and loathe) in the Democratic Primary. It's part of a new series called: Talk Mayor to Me

ICE is continuing to abduct immigrants in Lower Manhattan. On Wednesday, a family that was separated at the border was separated again by ICE after the father went in for a check-in. His family had to watch as he was loaded by masked and hooded agents into an SUV. hellgatenyc.com/more-ice-abd...
