In Trump's second term, Bezos has received... -Huge new tax cuts for himself and Amazon -Millions of dollars in new Blue Origin federal contracts -A slap-on-the wrist FTC settlement for Amazon -A gutted NLRB led by a union-busting lawyer No wonder he's been such a Trump sycophant.

I checked local theaters for Musk ticket sales and it looks like for the two showings tomorrow 4 seats have been sold. If Skydance keeps this off HBO as people are speculating, I'm not sure it's going to have much impact at all. Which would be really unfortunate.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

New: The Trump admin is rolling out a nationwide tour to combat hate and antisemitism — meanwhile, a rabbi arrested for protesting Israel now says that ICE agents told him they "don't care" about his religious needs, like the ability to pray away from a prison toilet during the Jewish holy days.
