I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.
This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.
Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

The Justice Department on Tuesday canceled hundreds of grants to community organizations and local governments, including funding for gun-violence prevention programs, crime-victim advocacy and efforts to combat opioid addiction, according to an email obtained by The Post.
