Watching @NYCmayor press conference is both a relief and infuriating at the same time. Ending the two case rule is the right move, but there is still Absolutely No Plan for what comes next in large part because the Teacher's Union won't follow the science

As Ian approaches & forecast consensus narrows, it’s imperative for people to take this storm seriously by heading evacuation orders, checking in on loved ones & neighbors, & making sure you’re prepared for the worse. More from our sister agency: 2/x

There’s been a troubling increase in attacks against the Jewish community. I’ve marched for Black Lives Matter. I’ve marched against Muslim and anti-Asian hate. I’m asking New Yorkers to now stand against this anti-semitism and attacks against the Jewish community.

So now along w every other problem he’s leaving behind, @NYCMayor is going to pass along a three year $15b budget deficit for the next mayor (and comptroller) to figure out. It’s wildly irresponsible.

Under @NYCSpeakerCoJo and @NYCMayor the city has spent $1.1m per visit at some @MentalHealthNYC centers. At Headstrong, a nonprofit I founded, 6 months of free mental healthcare costs us $5k to provide. Who do you trust to make sure your $$ actually help New Yorkers?

. @UFT Mukgrew gets it wrong. Instead of asking *if* we can get teachers and student safely back in the classroom, he should be asking *how* we get them safely back in the classroom. “If” is a question in search of an excuse. “How” is a question in search of a solution.

Mulgrew: Educators want students back in the classroom as much as parents do. But the rules we have in place have kept both students and adults safe. 1/4

Who wants to place a bet that @MiamiMayor @FrancisSuarez has reached out to @JetBlue to bring those jobs to Miami and that @NYCMayor @BilldeBlasio hasn’t even made a call to keep them here? New Yorkers shouldn’t have to go to Florida to get a job.
