This morning, I joined @PIX11News to announce a new executive order requiring every city agency to designate a Chief Savings Officer. Within 45 days, these officers will identify which city services deliver the strongest results for New Yorkers—and where we can streamline processes and cut waste. The goal is simple: make sure every public dollar works harder to deliver a safer, cleaner, and more affordable city.


The worst governor in America… truly a grade-A idiot.




Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said in a press briefing Thursday that she has repeatedly tried to vote to fund all of Homeland Security, except for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. This comes as Transportation and Security Administration workers at airports are going without pay and following comments from U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy that smaller airports may have to temporarily close due to staff shortages. Gillibrand says funding everything except ICE would allow the Senate to continue pursing reforms. #NewYork #TSA #ICE #Shutdown #Senate

A man was attacked in a Bronx subway station Thursday after refusing to buy "a swipe" onto the train, police said. It happened shortly after noon at the Prospect Avenue and Westchester Avenue station on the 2 and 5 lines. Police said two people approached the man and tried to sell him a swipe. When he refused, a fight broke out. One suspect pulled out a knife and slashed the victim on the nose, right hand and back. He was also stabbed in his left shoulder. The attackers ran to the street and left a weapon behind. The victim was treated at the scene. bronx.news12.com/man-slashed-in…

In a few minutes Democrats will be giving Republicans a FIFTH chance to pay TSA workers. Will they finally fund TSA or once again object?








One of the hardest fought wins in the big City of Yes zoning change was the legalization of “Ancillary Dwelling Units” (ADUs)—a tiny house in the back yard, home over a garage, basement apartment etc. This zoning change could unlock as much as 25k desperately needed new homes in NYC’s low-density neighborhoods…but only if homeowners take advantage it. Now @NYCHousing is launching new tools to help: find out if your address qualifies, access low-interest financing, see pre-made designs etc. All here: nyc.gov/aduforyou This is just one more way housing creation in NYC is entering a whole new era. Thanks to all who fought hard for this.
