Worthwhile quote in attached image and alt-text revealing that 10% of those voting for him swung to him from Trump. The peace of mind that comes from affordability and economic stability is non-partisan and is alway #1 with the electorate.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will meet with Trump on Friday to discuss affordability. He said he would also protect residents from ICE www.newsday.com/news/new-yor...

[email protected] said he asked for a meeting with President Trump. "I will go to make the case to the President... that these are the kinds of things we need to change if we want to make it easier for New Yorkers and for Americans to afford the day to day necessities of their life"

The family of a Long Island man detained in Iran since July seeks U.S. intervention after he was imprisoned for visiting Israel 13 years ago for his son’s bar mitzvah

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

Severe storms are becoming stronger and more frequent due to climate change, leaving Long Islanders “at extreme risk”. Albany leaders must prioritize making our communities safer by investing in infrastructure and resiliency upgrades to keep us safe.

"It’s a wound that’s still open always ... I’m always reminded of it, because it’s the same job my dad did. I try to keep the positive thoughts, not what happened to him, but more of what he did for a living, giving his life up for the City of New York."

It’s been 29 years, today, since TWA 800 exploded and crashed into the Atlantic off Long Island, killing 230 people on board. “It’s where they all took their last breaths. They were all looking for a beautiful flight landing in Paris or Rome."

What form of sociopathy required them to need a court order to stop doing this?

*NEW*: @NassauExec signed an executive order allowing Nassau police to wear face masks during specific investigations. The practice mirrors what ICE agents are doing when effecting arrests. @johnasbury.bsky.social has the story for @newsday.bsky.social. www.newsday.com/long-island/...

Nassau County will not recognize Juneteenth as a paid holiday, shunning the federal declaration. Bruce Blakeman told me yesterday it needs to be bargained for county employees to give a holiday back. “By the way, I think people should work a little more, not less,” Blakeman said.

Mayor Adams hasn't taken question from Daily News reporter @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social for months. So Chris called out to get his attention at today's press conference and the mayor tells security to bar him from future press conferences. Hard to not see that as by design

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.

After being rejected in their federal appeal against the FAA, the Town of Hempstead is suing the Port Authority. They argue they have not updated noise maps while flights over Long Island have increased by 36% in the last three years. It'a all an effort to reduce flight paths to pre-pandemic levels.

"The Court is troubled by the implication inherent in Defendants’ argument that protest against the federal government, a core civil liberty protected by the First Amendment, can justify a finding of rebellion."

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to "return control of the California National Guard" to CA Gov. Newsom, finding that Trump's order taking control was illegal because it did not follow the required procedure. The order is stayed until noon Friday. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
