After a chaotic week, City Comptroller Brad Lander ended election night at a taco truck. ‘I settle in at my kitchen table,’ he writes in this week’s Grub Street Diet, ‘and read the results from other races across the country.’

Joel Camas is a 16 yr-old NYC high-school junior in the Bronx. He loves soccer & pepperoni pizza.
Yesterday morning, his lawyer and I accompanied him to an ICE check-in. He has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) — it should have been fine.
But it was not.💔 [thread]

At a press conference now Lander has strong words to city's response. "That is bullshit. Those are the words of a patsy for Donald Trump, and for Tom Homan for Kristi Noem."

"Citibank charged us a $15,000 overdraft fee. I'm happy to say, I reached out to Citibank, and they have refunded the overdraft fee."

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Why is Donald Trump trying to force New Yorkers to have dirtier air, more traffic, and crappier subways? New Yorkers pushed to implement congestion pricing before Trump took office—let’s not pump the brakes on this program now.

The New York City tolling program began on Jan. 5 after defying obstacles for decades. A move to stop it would likely touch off a legal battle between the state and federal government.

Voters are pissed off.
Democrats have got to wake up and deliver on the bread and butter issues that matter to people.
And our answer to Donald Trump has to be both to protect people from all the harm he’s going to cause, and to deliver safer, more affordable, more livable, and better-run cities.
