.@RepEspaillat @EspaillatNY please tell your friend Eric to resign, and call for it publicly. The indictment is damning. Your constituents deserve a mayor who can effectively run the city, and he can't do so like this.

While he was evicting families from city shelters and forcing people to sleep on the street, Eric Adams was seeking free flight upgrades and access to luxury hotels. The contrast is stark.

.@NYCTSubway why are you not dispatching one of the two downtown As at 207th? Are you really going to leave a 36 minute headway between this train and the next?

Gotta say, I despise this platform now, but it is great seeing #transittwitter come back to life @2AvSagas @loudurbanist @aaronnarraph @Newyorkist @BrooklynSpoke @capntransit @MarketUrbanism and those I’ve missed!!
I’ve gotten more telephone calls, emails, texts & voicemails in support of congestion pricing than any other other issue - ever - during my decade in the NYS Senate (that even includes hatred from anti-vaxxers 😱)

Guess she’s stuck in traffic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gov. Hochul, per her just released public schedule, has no public events scheduled for tomorrow (Friday) at this time. She has not taken any questions on her congestion pricing about face since she unveiled it Wednesday.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: NY LEGISLATURE IS NOT VOTING TONIGHT ON HOCHUL’S PLAN TO KILL CONGESTION PRICING They do not have the votes (yet)! Call your state senator & assemblymember first thing in the morning and tell them to save congestion pricing and vote NO on Hochul’s absurd plan!

Call your reps tonight and tell them not to support this terrible deal. Restore congestion pricing. mygovnyc.org/
New: Source says the legislature is expected vote on a bill as soon as tonight that would commit $1B in state funding for the MTA. Legislature and gov are working towards a deal. Money would come from general fund/bonded out - still unclear.

I think the Governor should stand up in front of her fellow New Yorkers and the press and take questions. Explain exactly how the MTA is going to be funded and how we're going to reduce traffic congestion on our streets. Everyone is waiting.

Governor Hochul's decision to indefinitely delay congestion pricing is a major setback for climate justice, MTA funding, and traffic reduction in NY. Coming just a day before the legislative session ends, it's a frustrating mess after all our hard work!

The fun thing is that if you ever wondered what side you would have been on in the 1960s: now you know.
