This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments. I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support. Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time. In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard - directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

Donald Trump has done more damage to the United States of America than any foreign enemy accomplished in our nation’s 250-year history.

These two have abandoned their responsibility to the American people in the pursuit of a global authoritarian rampage. Meanwhile, this Congress has been nothing more than a “welcome” doormat for this lawless imperial presidency. Where are the defenders of the Constitution? (2/2)

Right, ok. Immaterial.

Every Dem should do it anyway.

100%

This is a give-away. Any one of the Dems who can't step up on this should be driven out of office; whenever that opportunity arises.

Yep, spoke with my Rep's (Espaillat) office directly. Intern told me Jeffries' called Dems back to DC but with vacay...? No one picking up at either Gillibrand's or Schumer's offices. I've NEVER gotten a human on the line at any of their multiple office numbers in recent years.

something strange and horrible and somehow fitting that we should have a very real threat of madman civilizational destruction at the very moment when we also have humans on the dark side of the moon taking pictures that show how small, precious, and beautiful our world and existence is

That'll do it.

More than 1 death a week. The American gov't just straight-up murdering folks living in America. Not to mention the multiple thousands of murders the White House is now executing beyond our borders.

What a fucking legacy for this once proud nation.

I've gone blue in the face saying this but this is completely illegal and if it's not stopped now it will be a preview of 2027-28, when Trump will just keep the budget going by himself

Fairfield Prep: hotbed of fringe left activism!

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove.

This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311. 
 
311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small. 
 
So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

This is awful.

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand.

A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)

- clean up resume. Job Opening at DOJ.

ICE at Airports Trains Us to Accept Being Terrorized in Our Daily Lives I had an ultimately harmless encounter with ICE at an airport TSA checkpoint. It was a preview of a new, more sophisticated way to terrorize people.

theintercept.com/2026/03/28/i...

i think this is exactly right and it is part of what i was trying to get at last week when i wrote about the narcissism of the president and his allies. they fundamentally do not believe other people are real, and do not understand the decisions they make.

New U.S. Missile Hit Iranian Sports Hall and School, Analysis Shows

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all.

This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

U.S. Inflation May Hit 4.2% This Year Due To Oil Price Surge From Iran War, OECD Warns The organization, comprised of 38 of the world’s most advanced economies, said the conflict in the Middle East was testing the "resilience of the global economy."

The organization, comprised of 38 of the world’s most advanced economies, said the conflict in the Middle East was testing the "resilience of the global economy."

In these often bleak days, I stop to breathe in the fact that NYCers chose each other and voted in this phenom. That fact replenishes my optimism tank.
