- Orange sunrise — then rainbow over Lower East Side of Manhattan.
00:00 - I want to recognize the great work of @MTA conductor Theresa Footman, who demonstrated extraordinary professionalism, calm, and humor in last week’s power failure that required evacuation of 3,500 riders last Weds. Amazing poise in a very difficult situation.
- Our laugh “conductor” @AnupamPKher gave a master class in #Laughfitness today @RiversideParkNY and I feel amazing. #lolwithanupam
00:00 - “Here’s one thing I know for sure: Parents scared of losing their child will always outspend, outwork, and outvote gun rights extremists scared of losing their guns.” - @shannonrwatts speaking the truth @Everytown @MomsDemand event. 2020 must be the year.
- I voted for congestion pricing in 2008 and still support it today, but even those who don’t should be very worried about the significant — really significant — hole in the MTA 2020-2024 capital budget created by changing course right now.
- Congratulations @MetroNorth on its 98.3% on-time performance in 2024 — record high in its 41 years of service.
- .@FLOTUS hits it out of the park again for @HillaryClinton. “If Hillary doesn’t win this election, that will be on us.”“If Hillary doesn’t win this election, that will be on us.” —@FLOTUS Don't let that happen: IWillVote.com snappytv.com/tc/3107786
- Am honored to announce that I will become the President and CEO of @RiversideParkNY, a unique and beautiful six mile public park, on May 29. scribd.com/document/37930…
- I cast my @MTA vote today in favor of congestion pricing, to take direct aim at crippling congestion & its economic consequences, and to deliver key projects like the 2nd Ave subway, better signals and reliability, more ADA stations, electric buses and more. Starts Jan 5.
- Follow here & @RiversideParkNY for this Saturday’s #LOLwithAnupam laugh fitness event with @AnupamPKher. Think of it as meditation, only a whole lot louder. (And thanks Anupam for sharing a copy of your autobiography with me this morning!). To register: Riversideparknyc.org/laughoutloud
