Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

Mayor Mamdani speaks at a podium in front of a construction site.

We’re putting forward new rules to make sure unnecessary sidewalk sheds are taken down and more don’t go up.

We’re focused on NYCHA tenants specifically — making $650M in facade repairs & taking down sheds at 40 developments, including Highbridge Gardens in the Bronx.

Even Fox News is pointing out Donald Trump losing 92,000 jobs in February.
