BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story.
www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

More than 1,000 CDC staff receive layoff notices during government shutdown

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

I am supporting Mamdani, but Errol Louis had a brilliant interview with Curtis Sliwa on NY1. I don't agree with Sliwa on policy, but he knows the city and has always cared about New Yorkers. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...
@errollouis.bsky.social NYC Voters should be informed.

Sliwa talks access to healthy foods, home ownership and relationship with Trump

Sliwa also showed NY1 the house he lived in with his first wife and talked about why the neighborhood means so much to him.

59% of Americans disapprove of RFK Jr.'s moves as health secretary, a new poll says

A new poll shows trust in federal health policies is plummeting, and what -- or who -- people believe increasingly depends on their politics.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Every news story about sending the military into American cities should emphasize that such deployments run contrary to law, custom and the Constitution.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Listening to the voices of these new voters is worth your time.

They are perfectly paired with perspective from the legendary John Mollenkopf who compares this moment in NYC to WW II.

👀 “New voters in New York City made up 7% of the overall electorate in the June primary. …By comparison, new voters made up 2% of the primary electorate in 2021.” 👀

Voting is a habit - if they showed up in an off year municipal primary, they are probably coming back to the polls…

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
