Kasparian argued Ocasio-Cortez appears to have taken a page or two out of President Donald Trump's political playbook, based on the lawmaker's response to a shot on social media from Kasparian.

A Special Weather Statement and a Marine Dense Fog Advisory are in effect for coastal areas through about midday, with visibility generally under 1 mile and locally dropping below a quarter mile.

The lawsuit was filed by Deshanae L. Brown, who alleges she was subjected to discrimination based on her race, sex, and disability, citing violations of federal and state laws including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the need to protect the community, stating, 'On behalf of my constituents and nearly 64,000 local residents impacted by this project, I am requesting that your administration reject any plans to expand the Cross Bronx Expressway beyond its current footprint.'

Mamdani stated that the City Council's budget strategy effectively ensures this structural deficit will continue indefinitely, impacting vital city services and failing to solve deep financial problems.

New York City is facing a generational affordability challenge. Working families are being priced out of the neighborhoods they built. To meet this moment, we need a true federal partner prepared to invest boldly and act urgently. I appreciated the opportunity to speak directly with President Trump about building more housing in any single project than our city has seen since 1973.

I was shocked at how vividly the contrast of the city's low and high density came to life when I visited the new exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York. What the model most powerfully shows is that most of the city is actually a suburb of one and two-story buildings. The New York of our minds, towering structures and vast numbers of people, is really quite limited.

The New York Real Estate Board recently confirmed what every New Yorker feels: we are in a housing free-fall. With a staggering shortfall of up to 540,000 units and a vacancy rate of just 1.4 percent, the pace of new construction is glacially slow. But the solution might be hiding in plain sight, tucked away behind the chain-link fences of our city's woefully underutilized golf courses.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's legal administration is taking the reins with an ambitious plan to expand the city Law Department by at least 200 lawyers. But who are his top lawyers and how will their different roles intersect with his agenda? Just before his inauguration, Mamdani named longtime public interest attorney Steven Banks as his pick for the city's next corporation counsel, the head of the massive agency that manages the city's litigation, and named Ramzi Kassem as chief counsel, the mayor's personal lawyer.

Brooklyn is divided into 18 community districts, each represented by a community board made up of up to 50 unsalaried members appointed by the borough president, with recommendations from City Council members. Board members reflect the diversity of their neighborhoods and serve two-year terms. Community boards act as an official advisory link between residents, City Hall, and municipal agencies. While they do not pass laws, their recommendations carry significant weight in decisions affecting land use, zoning, public safety, transportation, housing, parks, sanitation and economic development.
