Rick Brunson played on the last Knicks team to make the Finals. That New York squad fell to the Spurs in 1999. Now, Rick is an assistant coach on Mike Brown's staff — and will enjoy a championship win with his son Jalen.

UFT delegates voted to endorse Mamdani because they believe he is the best candidate in the race to advance our union’s agenda: to protect our premium-free health care, fix Tier 6, pass the “RESPECT check” bill, implement the class size law, revamp mayoral control and more.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.

That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate. 

Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

There are a couple of really troubling points in this interview; the most relevant parts are at 12 minutes and 22 minutes. The first is that she tacitly accepts a caller’s premise that Mamdani is sympathetic to Hamas, despite Lehrer noting they have no such evidence and asking her if she does
