Wow @AccredoPharmacy it turns out I'm not the only one who has issues! except I've spoken with 5 people in 2 days, on hold for over an hour after asking for an escalation team and my meds are still not anywhere near.
Hey
@AccredoPharmacy , I just spent over an hour on hold telephone and chat and spoke to two of your reps, neither one of which was able to help me simple get a freaking refill ordered. Over an HOUR of my time. Your systems are terrible and your customer service is even worse.
Love to have @CityLimitsNews walk the East River Esplanade in batterytobridges.org for the symmetry & cautionary follow up!

PAC named People for Public Space has given funding to both Jess Coleman’s campaign ($44,000) and now $56,000 to OPPOSE Chris Marte’s campaign ($30,000). See those reports here. The PAC is exclusively funded by Mark Gorton, the founder of OpenPlans.

Before joining the NYPD's Mounted Unit, Kelly was a rescue horse that was saved, adopted, and trained by her partner, Detective Kyle McLaughlin.
For their outstanding service, they recently received the @ASPCA's Public Service Award.
Congratulations to our neigh-borhood cops!

A must-watch exchange between Brian @kilmeade and Rachel Campos-Duffy on FOX & Friends about Ukraine and Trump’s Russian diesel deal. Here’s the full transcript:
CAMPOS-DUFFY: I know you're a big fan of Zelensky, but yesterday President Trump said maybe it's time for an election and a new leader in Ukraine because Zelensky keeps blowing up these refineries after the president said, "Please don't do that," especially before the midterms. He keeps doing it, and it's hurting President Trump and the administration, who's been very generous toward him and his war effort.
KILMEADE: The president got ticked off because Zelensky came out and said, "Do not buy 5 million tons of diesel," which is in violation, I thought, of the bill they just signed, Lindsey Graham's bill, that says if you buy any energy from Russia, you're going to get sanctioned with tariffs. Are we going to tariff ourselves? So I have no idea. Zelensky's frustrated because now all this money is going to flow into Russia, which started this whole war unprovoked. They are the bad guys, and there is no way Zelensky turned down any plausible deal. In fact, since that time, when they told him he was going to lose the Donbas, he has gained back portions of the Donbas.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: Are you saying that there were no peace efforts?
KILMEADE: There was no plausible, practical peace effort that Vladimir Putin would participate in effectively that would end this war. There's one person who is responsible: Vladimir Putin. That is it. And he gets his ass kicked.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: There was a peace deal that—I think Turkey was trying to broker it, and Boris Johnson advised Zelensky not to take that deal.
KILMEADE: It doesn't matter. I don't know what Boris Johnson's doing now. Is he in a retirement home?
CAMPOS-DUFFY: I think there's a reason why the president is buying diesel from Russia, and that's because Zelensky keeps blowing up the refineries.
KILMEADE: Can you blame him? That's the war machine that's killing his people, that bombs apartment buildings.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: But he's dependent on us, and the president said, "Don't do this." Are you for America or for Ukraine?
KILMEADE: The diesel fuel got stopped because Iran was blowing up the Gulf states' oil and their refineries, and now all of a sudden there's a new emphasis on Russia. But for me, the way Ukraine innovated drone technology in order to take out what's fueling the Russian war machine is phenomenal. They'll be writing about this in war journals forever. The Ukrainians have modernized modern war before our very eyes.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: I'm not so sure that's a positive, Brian. I mean, there are 30,000 young men on each side who are dying every single month.
KILMEADE: Vladimir Putin.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: Every single month. We should not be practicing drone technology and using these kids as guinea pigs.
KILMEADE: What kids?
CAMPOS-DUFFY: The soldiers. These are young men…
KILMEADE: Rachel, these are in response to attacks. They're getting rocketed, so they found a way…
CAMPOS-DUFFY: The president said he wanted peace in Ukraine, and he said he was going to do that.
KILMEADE: Tell Vladimir Putin.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: Well, now, because of what Zelensky is doing, we're probably going to get peace there because President Trump is now working with Russia, because Zelensky is so arrogant.
KILMEADE: It would be the biggest mistake of his administration to work with Russia. That is the modern Hitler of our generation. He is the cause of all the problems in the region, and now he's helping Iran kill our guys and blow up our bases. And now, yeah, the story you pointed out to me today in The Wall Street Journal—you see that they and China are providing drones to the Houthis. China and Russia are the problem.

VOTE NO!
Question 3 will cut out local firehouses entirely, as the FDNY would only need to confer with its own commissioner—who is appointed by and answers to the Mayor.
The DOT commissioner could then declare an “immediate need” and break ground before the community board, Council Member, State Senator or Assemblymember has even been told
This means Transportation Alternatives via the DOT can decide that your block gets a two-way bike lane in front of an old folks’ home, and there is nothing you can do about it. The only way the neighborhood finds out is that we wake up one day and there’s an e-bike expressway in front of our doors.
This also directly contravenes Local Law 6 of 2025 that requires DOT to consult local firehouses so that any street redesign does not hamper fire trucks from coming down the block. If Question 3 passes, that law will be rendered moot.

When @NYPDTransport patrols @ChinatownNYC all day long, they keep skipping over certain lawbreakers instead of enforcing the law impartially, like we pay them to do.

Some rare positive news from this week’s visit to 26 Federal Plaza: zero detainees on the 10th floor and full due process and public access to the virtual courtrooms on the 3rd floor.
We raised the alarm when ICE denied me access to the virtual courtrooms (which should be under DOJ jurisdiction), and thankfully that oversight and accountability effort resulted in the removal of ICE altogether on that floor.
Congressional oversight works. I will continue to show up and hold @DHSgov accountable.
A good look at the challenges of Canal Street Vendors, @CommunityBoard1 @ChinatownCore

Seems enforcement & real planning is not being prioritized vs agency hot potato =continued damage to small businesses paying rents & pedestrian accessibility.
Agency parking @NYC_DOT shouldn't be blocking curb cuts! Especially for DOT investigators! South St @placardabuse

Outdated Medicaid restrictions on long-term mental health care have left too many Americans in crisis without access to treatment, and we have seen the devastating impact in New York City and around the country.
To accompany my Michelle Go Act and the Strengthening Medicaid for Serious Mental Illness Act, I am introducing the bipartisan IMD CARE Act, which would allow states to expand their mental health services and help get Americans out of the never-ending cycle of hospitals, jail, and the streets.
Boosting mental health and substance abuse treatment would have a dramatic impact on reducing crime, homelessness, and giving everyone the opportunity to succeed.
