I recently said that a Bronx scene reminded me of the castle in Tres Riches Heures, stark towers and a surreal sky. Someone balked, until I explained. But the idea compels me to urge you to read Don DeLillo’s painterly short story, The Angel Esmeralda—the medieval in the Bronx.

That’s nice to see, but let’s get real, each of those complexes has unique needs and city regulations that can impose significant financial burdens on residents. Cuomo usually delivers a polished message, but he needs to raise the bar. Instead of relying on talking points, he…
@andrewcuomo Next stops: Starett City, Rochdale Village, The Pink Houses, RedHook complex.
Party’s don’t mean a thing anymore, and Curtis should embrace whoever is polling strongest against unAmericanism come Sep. Only if Cuomo drops out would I vote for Sliwa.

We've already connected hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to free and low-cost internet, and 'Liberty Link' will get thousands more online across Upper Manhattan and the Bronx!
Always good seeing my fellow New Yorkers on the subway. They don’t have a security detail. I ride the trains with them and that will never change. I’m running to make this city and especially our subways safer. Join the movement and let’s take back our city:…
Don't let no one lie to you. There is a migrant gang crime wave throughout the 5 boroughs of NY . The only difference is I can't get eyes on the exact location because most of the NYPD scanners channels are encrypted . A lot of gunpoint robberies from male Hispanic on scooters…
Not cool, @RepAOC!
AOC broke House rules to attend Met Gala with beau Riley Roberts, is told to pay additional $2,700 for ‘Tax The Rich’ gown, other accessories. Read today's cover here: trib.al/vR33T1G

I just spent the past week reading every tweet Zohran Mamdani has ever posted. Here’s what I learned: - called cops “fascists” - advocated for “free abortion on demand” - once said rich people’s apartments should go to the homeless - believed socialism >>> capitalism
First they come for the Saturday people. Then they come for the Sunday people.
BREAKING: Multiple smoke bombs have been set off during Montreal church worship service by Islamists waving Palestinian flags.
O Lord, grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. #Compline
I assure you there’s nothing false about my outrage, as I see my party, Democrats, seemingly surrender to socialist extremists like @ZohranKMamdani. HOWEVER—I do AGREE with many of your points & I hope you can counter the toxic propaganda machine of @NYCProgressives and @nycDSA!
Barry, spare us the faux outrage. Mamdani’s not the problem—he’s the symptom of a party that forgot working New Yorkers exist. But let’s be clear: Sliwa’s law-and-order stance isn’t “looking beyond the party”—it’s basic governance Adams and Cuomo understand. Mamdani’s rent…
Very irresponsible. The judge is a radical. @ChicagoREDP
Trump administration’s lawsuit over Chicago’s sanctuary city policies tossed by federal judge trib.al/AbnWCaF
Mamdani’s ICE abolition plan isn’t reform—it’s a gift to cartels. Shelters overflow, gang pipelines grow, and Queens bleeds. Sliwa’s right: Mamdani’s not just soft on crime—he’s the crime.
Democrat demands for “comprehensive immigration reform” is just a disguise for mass amnesty. Amnesty means more crime, more chaos, and more criminal illegal aliens roaming our streets. We won’t let it happen.
Like in the novel Frankenstein, the monster turns on it's creator.
Zohran Mamdani’s city-run grocery plan isn’t compassion—it’s catastrophe. KC tried it: $885K in losses, crime, and empty shelves. Now he wants to copy-paste that failure in NYC—with your tax dollars.

New York is breaking. Housing is in freefall. The NYPD is defunded, then blamed. Schools, transit, and public order are collapsing under activist rule. Now they want to hand it all to Zohran Mamdani.
