Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by UNESCO. Unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes flagrantly, sometimes in hidden ways. Let us remember the many journalists and reporters who are victims of war and violence.

Mayor Mamdani told me he hasn't yet seen these videos but said ICE raids are "cruel and inhumane" and "They do nothing to serve in the interest of public safety, and I've said that even directly to the president." (I asked him while he was biking the 5 boro bike tour)

CHAOS OVERNIGHT as ICE Agents rush a detainee out from hospital during protester stand off in Brooklyn NYC ICE dragged a man in custody out of the Wyckoff Hospital building after earlier detainement off site, as protesters massed outside. Agents rushed ran into the ambulance bay with pepper spray canisters pointed at anyone in their way. Later running out with a suspect dragging him into a car waiting outside. NYPD arrested several activists while trash and objects were thrown onto Stanhope St to block their exit. One ICE vehicle appears to have a flat tire and blown-out rear window as they stopped on the Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge, where officers provided traffic control.

NEW: Jack Schlossberg has built his campaign around turning the page on the Democrats’ old guard. Yet when he debuts his first paid advertisement Wednesday, the 33-year-old has chosen his party’s oldest living leader, Nancy Pelosi, to do the talking. nytimes.com/2026/04/29/nyr…

Enjoyed talking to @smbahr14 about, among other things, the differences between covering a tiny school board for a weekly newspaper in NJ and the frenetic world of NY politics for the New York Times. (In a nutshell, politics is more or less the same everywhere.)
Sarah Bahr@smbahr14

For my latest Times Insider, I talked to @SallyGold, a.k.a. the @nytimes's City Hall scoopmaster-in-chief. She's cultivated an enviable network of sources after more than 20 years of covering politics, largely in New York. She shared how she's done so: nytimes.com/2026/04/29/ins…

“The mounting chaos at Tillary demonstrates why some homeless people are reluctant to enter city shelters.” Read my friend @AndrewGiambrone’s deep dive on one of the city’s biggest shelter for people with mental illness and substance issues. gothamist.com/news/homeless-…

the Tillary Street Women’s Shelter sits in the shadows of new development in Downtown Brooklyn. it’s one of NYC’s biggest mental health shelters—and one of its most dangerous. my new investigation for @gothamist/@wnyc shows a shelter in chaos where residents say life is grueling

.@nycmayor on St. Patrick’s Day: “As we know, it was on Irish soil that the British Empire developed their colonial project. So much of the exploitation later imposed elsewhere across the world was first homed in the plantations of Ireland.”

"Adams made international headlines when he acquired Albanian citizenship, but now he has gone a step further, formally registering as a resident in his new neighborhood & providing his fingerprints and mugshot for his new ID card and Albanian passport." That's a real sentence.
Chris Sommerfeldt@C_Sommerfeldt

Eric Adams is a registered resident of Tirana's Admin Unit No. 2, prompting local speculation he may run for mayor of the city (incumbent's in prison). But people close to him say he's there for business, not politics. w/ @POLITICOEurope's Alice Taylor: politico.eu/article/behind…

Would President Trump have to pay the proposed NYC pied-a-terre tax? It's complicated. His Trump Tower penthouse is a test case for how to apply the tax -- and how tough it will be to determine which properties do and do not qualify. w/ @DavidFBrand: gothamist.com/news/would-don…

Mayor Mamdani says Councilmember Osse's arrest is "incredibly concerning to hear." "That's exactly something that we're going to follow up on, not just on the nature of this arrest, but also what was the underlying issue that was being protested," he says.
