New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can. Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment. A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

NY Attorney General Letitia James criticized NYC Mayor Mamdani and some of his endorsed candidates in New York City’s Democratic primaries, telling CNN that some of those candidates don’t understand the communities they want to represent and are disconnected from the history and struggles of many NYC districts. She also said that she and other Democratic leaders are “disappointed” in Mamdani, adding, “All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done.”

To everyone observing Ash Wednesday: God bless you.  In a city of such staggering inequality, let this be a season of reflection, repair, and service. May you have a meaningful Lenten season of prayer, fasting, and spiritual renewal.
