Extreme heat is a worker safety issue. The workers who build our skyline, staff our airports, stock our warehouses, and deliver our packages, keep this city running.  This executive order will ensure they come home safe at the end of every shift.

Today I signed an Executive Order for every worker exposed to extreme heat on the job. It requires multilingual heat safety guidance for workers, a review of construction site heat safety practices, and heat illness prevention plans at every mayoral agency.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

“Why would scientific institutions be cozying up to the very people who want to pull them all down? Why do they insist on whitewashing what is happening, helping the perpetrators burnish their credentials?” HooooooooBoy, @gregggonsalves.bsky.social has nailed it in his new piece.

The Rise of the Vichy Scientists

Too many scientists are willing to collaborate with Trumpism in the mistaken assumption that obedience will save their own necks.

Today is a good day to take note of all those telling you how swimmingly this is going to work out so you can stop paying attention to them forever We have illegally and under false pretenses launched a war that in no way benefits us and isn't going to ever truly end A MISTAKE WE HAVE MADE BEFORE

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I'm heading to the Senate floor in a few moments to lay out the detailed story of ICE abuse - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens with impunity, disappearing legal immigrants. And why we should not fund ICE until they stop terrorizing our communities.

We have the most corrupt and least competent FBI at the same time that we have the most corrupt and least competent DOJ, with the only saving grace in either instance being that both agencies are also woefully understaffed

FBI Director Kash Patel has once again prematurely announced a major update in a criminal investigation, only to have to walk it back hours later. trib.al/WbHWAFG The FBI doesn’t appear to be any closer to finding out who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

This is clearly worrisome. Equally concerning is the grant agreement language allowing the gvt to terminate grants whenever it deems the research doesn't align with admin priorities. As research takes years to start/implement, that uncertainty will keep many worthy projects from even starting.

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine (Gift Article)

A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.
