There’s no greater illustration of how perceptions derived from media coverage need have no basis in reality whatsoever than the case of Donald the Dove

For decades, much of Midtown South has been off limits to new housing. Now that's changing: The City Planning Commission just approved the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan! This transformative plan will bring almost 10,000 new homes to midtown. Next up: @council.nyc.gov!

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

🚨Stephen Miller gets his way. Just a few days after Ag. Sec. Rollins convinced Trump to briefly back down, quotas and indiscriminate raids are back. Farms, restaurants, and hotels are now subject to ICE raids again, with intense pressure on ICE to hit 3,000 arrests a day. Miller remains in charge.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

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”

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Bibi Netanyahu, in 2002, urging the US to invade Iraq: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region." The US listened then, and we saw what happened. 23 years later, here we are.

As we near the start of early voting, this primary season offers a range of great candidates for housing at every level. Though we’re only focusing on endorsements for City Council this year, we wanted to highlight housing leaders running for other offices who we’ve worked with directly.

The Elizabeth Street Garden created their own mayoral ranking based on if candidates would proceed with evicting them or not. Notably absent is mayor Adams, who has seemingly reversed course on kicking the garden out of the city-owned plot of land

Helen Chu is one of the ousted #ACIP members. She spoke to me today about her grave concerns for future vaccination policy and vaccine access in the United States. www.statnews.com/2025/06/10/c...

If you live in New Jersey vote for Fulop today! He’s by far the best candidate on housing and transit but maybe even more importantly he will take on the corrupt NJ machine

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought
