The Democratic debate for NYC Comptroller will be on June 10. What should we ask @MarkLevineNYC and @JustinBrannan?
.@NYCMayor refused to answer any questions earlier today about the claims of unsafe conditions at 26 Federal Plaza where some migrants are being held by ICE. .@NYIC put out videos on Tuesday morning showing over crowding and migrants sleeping on the floor.

To be clear, the charter revisions reduce power for individual council members. It takes honesty and integrity to admit that a comprehensive citywide process is better for affordability. Big respect to @OsseChi @ebottcher @ShaunAbreu @PiSanchezNYC for not signing onto the letter.

Why are they so afraid of people being educated, cultured, and knowing our history? Why is that such a threat to them? nytimes.com/2025/07/22/cli…
Decentralization of land use authority is *the most significant driver* of NYC's affordable housing crisis. A strong state that can make clear, rational decisions with input from the community needs to eliminate hyperlocal governance veto points like this. This is how good…
The Charter Commission’s Final Report significantly weakens the City Council’s role in land use decisions. This shift toward executive control undermines democratic oversight and meaningful public engagement. I stand with my colleagues who are fighting back. Our statement below:
How would this year’s ballot measures make New York more affordable? @RichardBuery joined @errollouis @InsideCityHall to explain how they would support affordable housing and small housing projects:
This #FakePlacard is a forgery. Displayed on a Jeep with a Florida license plate and an expired @nysdmv safety inspection. Parked illegally in a No Standing zone where it's illegal even with real permits. It's #PlacardCorruption and fraud at every turn here. #NYPDSoftOnCrime
Tune in to @InsideCityHall on @NY1 tonight at 7 and 11 to catch @errollouis & @RichardBuery discussing today’s vote!
NEW: The 2025 NYC Charter Revision Commission just voted to advance five questions to New York City voters this November! The first four reforms would help build more housing more quickly, especially affordable housing and modest housing.

In this clip, @ErinBurnett of @CNN asks how I am handling the pressure on media. My answer: We have freedom of speech and the press. We may pay a price for exercising it. Our job is to accept that, humbly do the best work we can, and make sure we can defend it.
Wasn’t this “Motley crew” his friends? And two of those aides who left — Ingrid Lewis-Martin and Winnie Greco — are involved in his reelection campaign.
At the same breakfast, @NYCMayor apologized for the “Motley crew” of ex-aides that had to be fired from the admin and contributed to the dysfunction in City Hall -- source said he used this phrase several times. Then he pointed to Randy Mastro as the symbol of the new era.
At a @Partnership4NYC private breakfast Thursday, @NYCMayor said Tom Donlon “rapidly deteriorated” mentally, became "irrational & forgetful.” Said he told Donlon: “I want you to go to a doctor, get a medical diagnosis & get treatment." Donlon refused, so Adams said he fired him.
After 2016, Dems refused to do an audit. And now the 2024 “autopsy” won’t even ask the hard questions. WEAK WEAK WEAK nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/… via @NYTimes
Would argue that a leadership vacuum here is why we have a million groups raising money with no one really sure about which ones are good or which ones are grift. And confusion about who is in charge.
So sad to see the pantry line this morning. What are our electeds doing this morning while people line up just to feed their family? @votejgr
