It was a summer night, warm though the sun had gone down. The lights of the city sparkled, the river in front of them caught the reflection.
They were in the perfect place, at the perfect time, with just the right person. Was there any way, they wondered, to stop time and make this moment last forever?

4 fmr high-ranking #police officers are suing Mayor #EricAdams of #NewYork, accusing him of enabling #corruption in the #NYPD, an agency where they said anyone who spoke out faced #retaliation & #humiliation.
The separate lawsuits filed on Monday in #NY State Supreme Court come as Adams, a fmr police captain, is running for re-election & using falling crime numbers to bolster his campaign.

—
A report from a court-appointed watchdog details “troubling” conduct and “unconstitutional” stops by the Police Department’s Community Response Team — a unit championed by Mayor Eric Adams.

N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to sign a bill that bans anonymous complaints to the state child abuse hotline. The law would still maintain the confidentiality of callers.
The change comes in the wake of a 2023 ProPublica investigation that showed how the hotline had been weaponized by people endlessly calling in baseless allegations against exes or rivals.

How Hotels, Once a Last Resort, Became New York’s Default Answer to Homelessness
—
Statewide spending on hotels has more than tripled in recent years. The shift away from shelters has prevented families from accessing services like child care and help finding housing.

A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.
"OK so masked #ICE goons kidnapping law abiding people off the street is traumatic but #MAGA just cares about legal #immigration, it's not just some sadistic #racist bullshi-"
"The #NewYork Young #Republican Club (#NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran #Mamdani of his #citizenship and deport him"

"Let me tell you a little secret: most New York Jews really like New York’s diversity. We like that it attracts the Mamdanis of the world. We like sharing it with people of lots of different backgrounds. That’s what makes us feel safe and happy here. Especially when they are such a mensch like him: a nice college boy, his parents are professors, he went to Bronx Science, and to a liberal arts school."

AP Exclusive: #Trump admin admits it used faulty numbers in its #NewYork #Medicaid #health “fraud” accusations
Trump’s administration this week acknowledged it made a significant error in figures it used to help justify a fraud probe into New York’s Medicaid program, a glaring mistake that undercuts a federal campaign to tackle waste, mostly in #Democratic-led #states.

If you live in NYC, the city is offering free swimming lessons (via lottery), for all age groups.
"Knowing how to swim is a valuable skill that can improve your health and fitness, and even help save your life."
This morning I watched from here
a helicopter skirting like a damaged insect
the Empire State Building, that
jumbo size dentist’s drill, and landing
on the roof of the PanAm skyscraper.
But now midnight has come in
from foreign places…
