my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

Would someone, please, for the love of God, rescue The Daily News from this strip mining hedge fund. Please.

New-design faregates at Broadway-Lafayette this morning

The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.

New Yorkers are HITTING THOSE POLLS. It's the highest turnout in about two decades.

🎂 Happy birthday, #NYCSubway! 121 years ago #OnThisDay in 1904, the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) subway opened with 28 stations along a 9.1-mile line extending from City Hall to 145th Street. This #NYTMCollection silent film, shot just months after the subway opened, shows its early days.

"Journalist jobs fared worse than 85% of all occupations tracked by the BLS."

ACTUAL GOOD TRANSIT NEWS ALERT: Metro-North will run to Albany, starting this spring. And Amtrak is adding back one train to NYP-ALB and capping prices at $99.

Trump commutes George Santos’ prison, saying he was moved by Santos’ account of being in solitary confinement. A reminder: many people are left in solitary confinement all over the county, sometimes *for years*, without a direct connection to the president. Some of their voices:

This is an outrage and every journalist needs to stand up for Dean Moses of amNY right now: www.amny.com/immigration/...

I'd like to emphasize that you can make a totally above-board donation to support @katiehonan.bsky.social's work at @thecity.nyc right here. All you get in return is great journalism, and a tax deduction. It's up to you whether you itemize any potato chips you include.

Who in the Boro Park/Midwood area voted for me for Brooklyn civil court judge?

BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME? MTA proposing 10-cent hike to subway and bus fares starting in January. www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/30/n...

Key detail: the shooter had a history of mental health issues AND a gun license, according to the NYPD

BREAKING: Bedford Ave bike lane gets last minute reprieve, with an appeals court halting the city hours before DOT crews were set to begin work removing the protected bike lane

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.

One last piece of news before one more news is allowed for the weekend: Sources tell Streetsblog that the Adams administration has paused work on the 34th Street busway nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/07/03/a...

Wrote about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's marquee free bus proposal, the pilot that preceded it, and how free transit around the world has worked for @nymag.com www.curbed.com/article/zohr...

#Breaking: According to @mta.info fare increase may be tied to full implementation of OMNY. Not confusing people with too many things all at once and possibly figuring out more discounts for the new payment system. That means could come next year and not this year. @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social

the data backs this sentiment up!

A reporter from The City had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b...

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.

Cuomo’s car parked (illegally) outside union HQ. I asked a cop nearby if it was parked illegally. He said “yes.” Why? “Because it got two tickets already”

And now, of course nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/06/13/b...

It turns out, the new strategy arose not from data, but from people complaining about e-bikes at community meetings, the NYPD finally admits.

There's a dinosaur bodega inside a Brooklyn subway station and I'm pleased to say it's not viral marketing for the new Jurassic World movie. @jessjoseph.bsky.social reports in today's @nygroove.nyc nygroove.nyc/grand-army-p...

Whoa, U.S. Circuit Judge Barrington Parker (George W. Bush appointee) just pressed Ensign on the free speech issue in both cases: "Take a position."

Great @kevinduggan.bsky.social scoop =>

Back-to-back ZM ads airing during the Knicks game with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @zellnor.bsky.social. It’s a new stage of the campaign.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison

I'd say more precisely that we have people going all in on the idea that self-discipline is about having what it takes to dunk your head in a bowl of ice water every morning rather than having what it takes to treat someone different from you like a human being.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign will hit the airwaves Thursday evening with a broadcast ad attacking front-runner Andrew Cuomo as a corrupt politician who will be no different than the scandal-scarred Mayor Eric Adams. www.amny.com/news/tv-ads-...

The Cuomo campaign reportedly asked public library union leaders in a recent meeting if they'd considered *charging a fee* for library services, alarming some library workers. Asked about the incident, a Cuomo spokesperson blamed a campaign volunteer. hellgatenyc.com/cuomo-librar...

“Mr. Prada’s disappearance has created concerns that more immigrants have been deported to El Salvador than previously known. It also raises the question of whether some deportees may have been sent to other countries with no record of it.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child today, a baby boy. In a statement, she said, “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family…”

For the record, Council Member Chris Banks just said the words that "we all want safety, but parking is more important."

Mayor Adams is wearing his “in god we trust” American flag shirt once again. But this time it’s written in Italian. He says it’s Spanish to honor the victims of a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican republic last week.

In 2018, the first Trump admin. wrongfully deported an Iraqi man, despite a court order. The U.S. govt quickly recognized the mistake and worked with the man's attorneys to bring him back. He was later returned. My story on the difference from then to now: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

New York City’s campaign finance regulators rejected mayoral front-runner Andrew Cuomo’s request for around $2.5 million in public matching funds Tuesday, an embarrassing glitch for a bid predicated on experience and competence. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Mayor Adams today declared that a federal judge granting the Trump Justice Department’s motion to drop his federal indictment “marks the end of this chapter” — then proceeded to promote a top Trump administration official’s book about the “deep state” in the same speech. www.amny.com/news/mayor-a...
