When I taught at @BklynCollege411, some students said government didn’t matter. Then we’d discuss how, until 1976, @CUNY was free and how that change was a choice. Read me in @BrooklynPatch : bit.ly/mr1023s Take @BrooklynCB6 survey: bit.ly/cb6survey27

Tying transit funding to birth rates isn’t just terrible policy, it’s just plain weird. politico.com/news/2026/10/06…

9/11 was an act of terrorism that killed thousands of New Yorkers. Exploiting that grief to advance a political project rooted in hate, racism, and Islamophobia is disgusting.  Mayor Mamdani belongs at the memorial. Your bigotry is what’s unwelcome.
Today I stood on the steps of City Hall with the loved ones of many victims of the 9/11 terror attacks. Together, we demanded that Mayor Mamdani stay away from this year's ceremonies commemorating the 25th anniversary of those horrific attacks. Following the conference, we went into City Hall and directly handed Giovanni Galante's petition for the mayor to stay away from the ceremonies - which has more than 100,000 signatures - to a member of Ramzi Kassem's staff, the same Ramzi Kassem who defended a convicted al-Qaeda terrorist and is one of the reasons these families don't want the mayor there in the first place. Mayor Mamdani, apparently, was too cowardly to come out and meet the families to receive the petition himself. After today, the entire city, the state, the country, and thanks to the international media coverage of the event, now the free world knows that Mayor Mamdani is not welcome at the ceremony.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. You can help prevent suicide by learning the warning signs. The risk of suicide is greater if a behavior is new, has increased, and seems related to a painful event, loss or change. Learn more: on.nyc.gov/3L2Aojr

At Tuesday's nomination hearing, I was proud to support John Mangin’s appointment as Chair of Mayor Mamdani’s Board of Standards and Appeals. John brings more than a decade of experience at NYC’s Department of City Planning, where he helped advance major land use reforms like City of Yes for Housing Opportunity and efforts to create more affordable housing, including limited-equity coops. He’s also visited every community board in the city and understands how land use decisions shape our neighborhoods. I’m confident John will bring that experience and commitment to affordability to the BSA.

.@JoAnneSimonBK52, @Sen_Gounardes, & I are encouraged that the Mamdani Administration has listened to our community's call to rehab, rather than replace, the BQE Triple Cantilever. But this announcement is the beginning of a multi-year approval process, and we have many questions

Citi Bike-flation is out of hand. A bike share ride shouldn’t cost more than a subway or bus fare. I’ve got a bill to fix this and cap fees at $3 a ride. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/new…

🚨 Zohran Mamdani unveils plan to cover 30% of NYC with trees by 2040.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Mayor Mamdani's administration released the 2026 Urban Forest Plan, the goal of a 30% tree canopy was originally established in 2023 under Mayor Eric Adams and codified by Local Law 148 of 2023. The timeline was later extended to 2040. sps.columbia.edu/news/new-york-… urbanforestplan.nyc

The US is facing a housing crisis, and we need all hands on deck to tackle it. While Trump refuses to take this crisis seriously, Congress acted, and I’m glad to see the 21st Century Road to Housing Act become law.
Under the Constitution, a bill that has passed both houses of Congress automatically becomes law if the president doesn't sign or veto it within 10 days, excluding Sundays. cbsn.ws/4y7sIDk

The MTA is set to make five more Brooklyn subway stations accessible to wheelchair users by installing elevators, a project funded in part through congestion pricing revenue: brooklynpaper.com/mta-elevat…

This is great, and @Gov_Island deserves all praise, but, to be pedantic @CBSSunday, it’s closer to Brooklyn, specifically Red Hook/ CB6 than the“tip of Manhattan”
One of New York City's most unique public spaces is a 172-acre island off the tip of Manhattan. Jane Pauley offers a tour of Governors Island, celebrated for its parks, cultural events, and sweeping harbor views.

Today’s birthright citizenship ruling is a relief. It’s a shame its legality was ever in question.
