OMG that's legendary 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Next have them go to liberal gas stations where it's 5 Trump coins a gallon 🤣🤣🤣
The U.S. Treasury is telling Americans to go to spend the new Trump $1 coins at liberal coffee shops.
Legendary trolling 🤣

THIS HOLE IN THE GROUND WILL BECOME A BRAND NEW ELEVATOR THANKS TO CONGESTION PRICING

Right here at the Bryant Park station, the @MTA is building the first elevator funded by congestion pricing.
Business is up, traffic is down.
Now we’re putting billions to work on transit upgrades that will improve the rides of millions.

I keep thinking about this exchange. Blakeman says he's "created wealth" because of the skyrocketing home prices in Nassau County. The idea that young families are priced out just doesn't occur at all

Our new @MTA fare gates are delivering:
Faster entry
Better accessibility
35% less fare evasion
Now we’re expanding to 50 more stations by the end of 2027.
Because New Yorkers deserve a transit system that works for everyone.

Once dogged by criticism that she’s in over her head, Kathy Hochul has kept Donald Trump at bay while securing Zohran Mamdani’s support—and built a political comeback in the process, @russellberman writes: theatln.tc/QSryqVNM

Taxing the Rich, Courting the Left: Hell Gate Interviews @GovKathyHochul

New Yorkers are outraged tonight. Immigrant communities are terrified. And we are demanding answers.
There is still much we don’t know about what happened in Marble Hill. But initial reports indicate ICE agents fired into a vehicle with a five-year-old child inside. Any trained law enforcement officer knows how easily that could have ended in tragedy. By the grace of God, that child appears to have escaped without physical injury.
No child should ever have to experience the terror of gunfire, let alone wonder if they’ll make it home alive. As a mother and grandmother, I cannot imagine how frightening those moments must have been.
New Yorkers have witnessed far too many acts of violence by a rogue federal agency and untrained agents that operate with impunity.
Federal authorities need to provide answers, and they must do so immediately.

I’ve been on this journey as well.
ever since Trump won, Hochul has been absolutely locked in, and quite possibly the best governor in the country
Mayor Mamdani told me Hochul's "done incredibly well." Ritchie Torres, once a harsh critic, now calls her "the comeback governor of America." Hochul is happy to have the converts. "There’s a long line of people," she told me, "asking for forgiveness." theatlantic.com/politics/202…

> Our new fare gates are driving down fare evasion by as much as 72%
New Yorkers deserve a subway system that works for the people who do the right thing.
Our new fare gates are already driving down fare evasion by an average of 35% and as much as 72%.
That means easier entry, better accessibility, and more money going back into the system instead of out the door.
Now we’re bringing them to 20 more stations.

fantastic news. full-length fare gates are one of the highest ROI transit investments because almost all disorder is caused by fare evaders
In San Francisco, full length fare gates were recently installed and led to a precipitous drop in crime, delays, and vandalism

Today’s news on expanding modern fare gates continues a generational investment of $1.1 billion to upgrade fare gates across 150 subway stations.
The pilot saw fare evasion fall by an average of 35% at participating stations.
It’s part of the MTA Capital Program, fully funded under Governor Hochul’s leadership.
Transformational investments like this improve the daily ride for millions of New Yorkers.

"The new saloon-style doors — part of a pilot program that started last year to replace decades-old turnstiles at 20 stations — have led to an average of 35 percent less fare beating, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority..." nytimes.com/2026/10/07/nyreg…

Across our pilot stations, fare evasion is down 35%
Less fare evasion = better service 😎
