Former mayors
He sends out masked men, he sends out Border Patrol. He sends out ICE, creates anxiety and fear in the community, so that he can lay claim to solving for that by sending in the Guard in the first place.
I am currently reluctant to impose rigid reporting requirements about operational details on this sector.
Our administration has been clear that undocumented New Yorkers trying to pursue their American Dreams should not be the target of law enforcement, and resources should instead be focused on violent criminals.
He defunded the MTA to send money to upstate ski resorts. He presided over the ‘summer of hell’ — and did all of this while denying that the state had any control over the MTA.
We’ve seen what Andrew Cuomo’s control over the MTA has resulted in for New Yorkers; he delivered the most expensive single subway mile in the history of the world.
The same imam met with Mayor Bloomberg, met with Mayor De Blasio, campaigned alongside Eric Adams, and the only time it became an issue of national attention was when I met with him.
We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn't be so reckless with people's lives for their vanity projects.
Are you ready to defend this democracy? Are you ready to fight fascism? Are you prepared to destroy authoritarianism once and for all!
Using our military to intimidate people you disagree with isn’t strength – it’s reckless, it’s disrespectful, and it’s beneath the office he holds.

And I also have never said anything about not enforcing misdemeanors.
I want to be very clear, not only have I never called for the legalization of prostitution, I’m not calling for that today either.
If you want to look for me on the ballot, you’ll find me as the Democrat,” Mamdani said.
I just have to say it’s been an hour and 20 minutes of this debate, and we haven’t heard Governor Cuomo say the word ‘affordable.’ That’s why he lost the primary. That’s why he’ll lose the general election.
Look, a lot of people have called even my campaign a non-starter when we first began and now I stand before you proud to be the Democratic nominee who got the most votes in city primary history.
If I would be allowed to finish, that I would not recognize any state's right to exist with a system of hierarchy on the basis of race or religion.
I've said time and again that I recognize Israel's right to exist. I've said that I will not recognize any state's—
It's been an hour and 20 minutes of this debate, and we haven't heard Governor Cuomo say the word 'affordability.' That's why he lost the (Democratic) primary.
What New Yorkers need is a mayor who can stand up to Donald Trump and actually deliver.
Federal troops are not welcome in the city, and that crime is coming down.
