Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer. Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality. hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

They’re playing We Didn’t Start the Fire at Cuomo HQ.

🤌🏻

Catching a vibe…

Riding around talking to voters on a beautiful fall day… I love this city. Even the hateful cranks. Big 25th-Hour-montage feelings over here, you guys.

Making my south down Coney Island Avenue this morning, through Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa territory, talking to voters. You can read those conversations and others my colleagues are having around the city at @hellgatenyc.com!

Where will you be tomorrow night when the NYC election results come in? Perhaps at a bar with your friends. Perhaps at home in the dark, bathed in the faint, unearthly glow of a screen. Wherever you are, @hellgatenyc.com will be by your side. hellgatenyc.com/election-nig...

Hey all! I hope you enjoy this @hellgatenyc.com article on me written by @johnsurico.bsky.social and my 20 years with Streetfilms (and even longer than that.) I got a little emotional from reading all the kind words. @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org hellgatenyc.com/livable-stre...

This story about Melissa DeRosa allegedly threatening Cornell's funding after an undergrad dared to ask her about Cuomo's sexual harassment allegations is not gonna do anything for this crew's reputation as frothing bullies. www.cornellsun.com/article/2025...

Spreading love and light through the universe.

🤌

Jake asked Cuomo about his ongoing failure to live up to his father's ethical standards, which I'm sure didn't push any buttons or anything. apnews.com/article/zohr...

Honestly surprised that the Cuomo PACs haven't seized on this shocking traumatic brain injury revelation.

One week from today, from 8:00 p.m.—10:30 p.m., Hell Gate will go LIVE on our YouTube channel for coverage of the general election! Did you miss our primary election livestream? Relive the magic with this clip show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UOQ...

We posted video of @hellgatenyc.com's Zohran Mamdani podcast episode online, and the YouTube commentariat is absolutely LOVING it. youtu.be/sB-fNr6XM9M?...

Earlier this month I reported that there was a strange anomaly in public police accountability data that consistently obscured many allegations that cops lied to misconduct investigators. hellgatenyc.com/ccrb-tossing...

At the live taping of the Hell Gate podcast, we asked Zohran Mamdani why he thinks NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch will suddenly change her tune under his administration? Here's what he told us. Link to full interview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB-f... (📹 by Scott Heins & Nick Oliver)

NEW: In a wide-ranging, 45-minute interview with Hell Gate on Friday night, Zohran Mamdani talked about how he'd lead New York City (and his one-Red Bull-per-week habit). He also revealed his stance on ESG, the 15 mph limit on e-bikes, and way way more. hellgatenyc.com/zohran-mamda...

There should be a companion meme for “The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point”that’s like “People Are Dragging the Worst Person for the Wrong—Wrong, and Indeed, Profoundly Offensive—Reasons.”

Here we go, NYC... hellgatenyc.com/ice-storms-c...

This Friday, the Hell Gate Podcast goes live! With @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! hellgatenyc.com/the-hell-gat...

My headline suggestion for this was Thanks to Curb, New Yorkers Can Heil a Cab but they didn't go for it. hellgatenyc.com/taxi-tv-news...

Reporters want to COVER the story, not be IN it. But sometimes, even if you try to maintain objective distance, history sweeps you up and drops you at the center of the action. That's what happened to @k80way.bsky.social yesterday, when her 4 train broke in half. hellgatenyc.com/bronx-4-trai...

"Why were we so cold-hearted as to demand the equivalent of a cup of coffee each month for full access to our website?" My @hellgatenyc.com colleague @maxrn.bsky.social on why, in an era of "free" journalism, a low-dollar paywall might not be such a bad idea. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/the-f...

Some slop is good, actually. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-a...

He runs a roving gang that stages hate crimes, and you do not have to hand it to him, but I agree with Curtis Sliwa on one thing: The way to get rid of rats is well cared-for cat colonies. I lived in a LES building behind a restaurant with one and there were no rats. Never mayor, but maybe Cat Czar.

Incredible exchange here.

Nick Pinto: Kerik's professional biography is long, fascinating, and so chock-a-block with outrageous and alarming episodes of moral failure that his life takes on a sort of mythic scale, a tall tale of rolling skullduggery. hellgatenyc.com/city-jail-na...

Excellent potted bio of the late Bernie Kerik, a scuzz for the ages. Mind-boggling how he stuff so much corruption (on multiple continents) into one life. Fine reportage like this is why I subscribe to @hellgatenyc.com hellgatenyc.com/city-jail-na...

The NYC Department of Correction is extremely serious about projecting an image of reform, lawfulness, and considered, sober judgment these days, so it has decided to rename its Lower Manhattan jail complex after... multiply disgraced criminal Bernie Kerik. hellgatenyc.com/city-jail-na...

I wish to see more journalists doing what @hellgatenyc.com and @404media.co are doing and fewer doing the solo patreon route. I want to pay a collective for my news not one person. Seems like a successful model.

Next time I walk into Room 9 it’s gonna be so different.

If cops lie to CCRB investigators, they get charged for it. But the board makes many of those allegations disappear—overruling investigators' discipline recommendations at twice the rate they do for other misconduct. hellgatenyc.com/ccrb-tossing...
