It’s not a straight shot to the far side of the Moon! 🌕 Over approximately 10 days, the Artemis II astronauts will orbit Earth twice before looping around the far side of the Moon in a figure eight and returning home.

@SpeakerMenin Non-profit hospitals, benefitting from massive tax breaks while paying executives multi-million dollar salaries, must also be investigated. At very least, tax subsidies should mandate acceptance of ALL forms of health insurance, and make services available to ALL.

New Yorkers are already paying way too much for health care. If these allegations are true, they point to practices that drive up costs and limit choice — and that’s unacceptable. It’s exactly why I passed legislation to create an Office of Healthcare Accountability to bring greater transparency to healthcare pricing and protect consumers. nytimes.com/2026/03/26/bus…

New Yorkers can’t afford another tax. Not property, not income, not a death tax, not even charging people more to park on their own streets. This isn’t a revenue problem; it’s a spending problem. City Hall needs to live within its means before asking families to pay more.

@MonteroVerdi @queens_parents I take it you feel rather defensive about the copious amounts of food you have delivered by men living in third world squalor under your nose, so long as “no one is putting a gun to their heads”. Gross.

I think AI will flood the internet with so much fake and useless content that people will slowly stop trusting it and go back to living real life like it's the 90s.

@NYPDnews In a normal world, this is who the Mayor of New York City would have hosted for dinner at his home, instead of a man who sympathizes with the folks throwing the bomb.

@NYPDnews While @NYCMayor outrageously sugarcoats Saturday’s horrific act of terrorism, I am beyond grateful to know NYPD heroes like Chief Aaron Edwards are working every day to keep us safe. This incredible image should remind New Yorkers to honor our brave @NYPDnews and thank them 🙌

@NYCMayor Delayed timing and muted tone cringeworthy at best - absolutely terrifying at worst. Since when do western leaders take 48 hrs to condemn barbaric acts of terrorism?

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi have been charged with committing a heinous act of terrorism and proclaiming their allegiance to ISIS. They should be held fully accountable for their actions. We will continue to keep New Yorkers safe. We will not tolerate terrorism or violence in our city.

The explosives yesterday near Gracie Mansion were not thrown by the Islamophobic protestors, but by their counter-protesters. Violence is utterly unacceptable, wherever it comes from. I’m glad the individuals responsible are in custody and they should be held accountable under the law. The NYPD officers on the scene deserve tremendous credit for getting a very dangerous situation under control. It’s a miracle that there wasn’t grave bodily harm to anyone present. I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions and posting too soon. But I’m not sorry for hating Islamophobia as much as I hate antisemitism.
Brad Lander@bradlander

Happy to know that our Mayor and First Lady are safe, but horrified that there was such a disturbing threat of violence outside their residence. Vile displays of Islamophobia will never be tolerated in our city.

@NYCMayor I do not feel safe in a city where the Mayor sugar coats terrorism! Any one of us could’ve been walking by. Had that ISIS inspired IED detonated there would have been horrific mass casualties. Only a compromised moron would respond with “hate has no place” platitudes!

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.

The goal of @nih is to spur research and innovation to address our country's most pressing challenges. One of the greatest challenges we face is our agricultural system that relies heavily on toxic chemicals that impact human health. Farmers apply more than one billion pounds of pesticides and herbicides each year in the United States, yet we still lack a clear scientific framework to mitigate the risk and chart a path toward reducing that dependence. We must spur research into understanding the impact of cumulative toxic exposures, and spur innovations to reduce reliance on pesticides and herbicides while maintaining agricultural productivity. At HHS, NIH is launching a $100M grand prize challenge to better understand the health effects of cumulative chemical exposures, and ARPA-H is investing $100M in innovative technologies to reduce reliance on chemical crop protection tools. EPA is adding $30M to spur cost-effective alternatives to pre-havest desiccation use of pesticides. Together with $840M from USDA to advance regenerative agriculture and farm, this commitment of more than one billion dollars strengthens food security, supports farmers, and begins the long overdue transition away from chemically intensive farming to protect human health. To you entrepreneurs: HHS is ready to partner with you to drive innovation and remove regulatory roadblocks so you can bring breakthrough solutions to market. To private philanthropists: NIH has made this a central priority -- now, we need you to help scale it with follow-on funding.
