Mayor Bill de Blasio insisted on going to the Park Slope Y. Is there one ritual from your previous life that you have held on to as mayor? What is your Park Slope Y?

I think anxiety over how Arsenal are doing is a ritual still a part of my life [laughs]. Somehow it doesn't even feel better to be at the top of the Premier League and in the Champions League semifinal. It feels just as bad as it has.

How are you keeping up? Are you watching clips? Do you tape games?

I'm reading minute-by-minute reports because I can't watch a lot of the games. Then I watch extended highlights on YouTube. This weekend is a huge game.

Per @hellgatenyc, Zohran is as anxious about Arsenal as the rest of us.

A litmus test for the 2028 primary should be whether each candidate’s administration will prosecute everyone involved in these murders.

It’s long past the time for either the Brooklyn DA or the feds to get involved.

This happened to me the other day when I picked up takeout. This guy coming in held the door as I was leaving and really didn’t like the volume of my “thank you.” Bizarre behavior.

One good outcome of all this will be if *serious* people stop treating OLC opinions as a source of law. They have always just been the President's lawyer telling him what they think he can get away with.

The law is a victory for Israel’s far right and reflects the country’s shift to the right in the wake of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and the Gaza war that followed. The death penalty has long been legal in Israel, but only two people have been executed in the country’s 78-year history.

The law makes death by hanging the default sentence in Israeli military courts trying Palestinians accused of killing people in militant attacks. Israeli citizens — both Jewish and Palestinian-Arab — could also face the death penalty for attacks that aim to “negate the existence of the state of Israel.” However, experts say the chances of it being applied to Jewish Israelis are minuscule.

The death penalty but it only applies to one ethnic group in the seperate courts you’ve set up to try them in www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w...

A generous donor is offering to match up to $10k in donations to the Brooklyn Can’t Wait campaign for the next week. That means your $75 contribution will send $150 directly to district leader candidates in competitive races.

We have an incredible team of 24 community leaders running for Democratic State Committee (District Leader) as part of the Brooklyn Can’t Wait Slate.

Together, they can transform the Brooklyn Democratic Party by winning in the primary elections this June — but their campaigns need our support!
