I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends ā not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?

Bus rides can be faster, if the mayor had the willingness to push more bus corridors, bus-only signals, etc., it does make a difference. Iām more concerned that if Cuomo wins, heāll care less for any of that, less than Eric Adams even who has had a few implementations around but not across the city

I was listening to Krystal Kyle and Friends, and they talked about Zohranās win, and they agreed that he had a strong message that resonated with a lot of folks. Zohran is proposing ideas that the median/avg voter wants, and is doing the ground work to meet people directly, which I can confirm
