Integrity is built a little at a time. Keep listening to the voice inside your heart, and one day you will find it is unthinkable to be anything other than what you are.

Scenes like this wouldn’t be possible without whistleblowers coming forward about Elon Musk’s authoritarian takeover. Reminder that if you’re a public servant wishing to report fraud, waste, or abuse at a federal agency, you can do so on my website:

Facebook chooses its moderation policy. This policy may be more or less stringent, which raises interesting questions about free speech. Facebook then CHANGES its moderation policies as a direct result of a changing political regime. This is sort of obviously a more significant free speech issue?

City Council is considering two new bills that will make it much harder to fight for safer streets, better biking, and more public space. Here’s what you need to know and how to fight back.

Today — because you called and rallied and never stopped pushing — Governor Hochul is advancing congestion pricing. We are one step closer to cleaner air, safer streets, faster buses, accessible subways & a more resilient future. Today wouldn't have been possible without you.

Make no mistake: this is happening because a broad, diverse, and determined coalition of New Yorkers turned up, spoke out, and fought for congestion pricing.

Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to announce the revised program on Thursday with the aim of putting it in place before Donald Trump takes office.
