New Yorkers deserve to know whether their personal information is being used to set the prices they pay, and if businesses are charging customers different prices for the same products.

You think term limits will fix problems, but they won't. They just empower lobbyists even further, and they blow a hole straight through institutional knowledge.

Political scientists have already studied this. Listen to them.

Something tells me that the Trump administration’s efforts to move white South Africans to the U.S. as refugees may be a part of this.

A message from Gaza. Things aren’t getting any better…
In every corner, there's a tattered tent sheltering displaced families, silently sharing their pain.They take shelter in a tent that offers no protection from the coming winter's chill, nor from the winds of oppression that have ravaged their lives.

The discussions on social media have become increasingly contentious, so let me be blisteringly direct: there is no age at which rape is acceptable.

Not 15, 25, or 85.

No age. No excuse. No loophole.

If you’re defending rape in any form, you are defending violence against human beings. Period.

There are certainly a lot of people that need to be prosecuted when this nightmare is over. But I really want to be there when they try Bovino and he faces all the cowardly ICE thugs that will turn on him for a plea deal. That would be justice.

@propublica.org and @josh-kaplan.bsky.social I would really love to hear a response to this TikTok. A woman journalist is claiming that you corresponded with her and then used her reporting w/o giving her credit. No byline and no compensation. Can you help us understand what happened here?

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
