Jalen Brunson post Game 4: "Before we start…
My thoughts & prayers are with a friend of mine I got to meet last week. Jonathan from North Carolina. From Make a Wish Foundation
They asked me to make a video. But something told me to Facetime…
I got the pleasure to do so…Quick call but well worth it.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family…
May God rest his soul"

Mamdani is lying to you. He didn't turn a $12B budget deficit to $0.
Spark notes: He inflated the deficit by $8B compared to Adams, brought it back down, then closed the rest with one-off bailout funds from Kathy Hochul who's desperate for a win.
Funny thing is most of you morons believe it. The entire Democratic party is cheering a lie while "cooking" the books.
New York City has been LEGALLY REQUIRED to balance its budget every single year since 1975. State law. The Financial Emergency Act. Passed after the city almost went bankrupt and Gerald Ford told them to drop dead.
Mamdani's own budget message brags this is the 47th consecutive balanced budget. Bloomberg balanced. de Blasio balanced. Adams balanced. Giuliani balanced.
Crediting Mamdani for balancing the budget is like crediting a taxi driver for stopping at a red light.
Now the $12 billion. Adams left office with a projected FY27 gap of $4.69 billion.
So where did the extra eight billion come from?
Mamdani's own team. They walked in and moved hidden spending back onto the books: rental assistance, shelter ops, special ed reimbursements, NYPD overtime. Legit cleanup work.
Then they ran to a podium and called it a deficit they inherited.
They printed the number. Then they took credit for printing the number.
How did they "close" it? Half came from Albany. Hochul wrote a check: $8 billion in state aid over two years.
THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. HE DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING.
Mamdani's signature millionaire's tax? KILLED by Hochul.
Corporate rate hike? KILLED.
Free buses he ran on? KILLED.
CityFHEPS expansion he campaigned on? He's in court right now fighting it.
Then there's the pension trick.
$1.64 billion of the "savings" comes from extending pension amortization from 2032 to 2037.
The Citizens Budget Commission called it "a pension gimmick" that "balances this budget on the backs of future New Yorkers."
William Glasgall, Volcker Alliance, said it "creates a debt that's more expensive than muni bonds."
And the kicker.
The budget IS NOT ADOPTED. Council votes June 30. The state budget the whole thing depends on was still not enacted as of last week.
Out-year gaps under Mamdani's own numbers:
FY2028: $7.1 billion
FY2029: $8.5 billion
FY2030: $9.8 billion
The hole grew $5.4 billion in three months.
So the real headline. Hochul cut a check. Future workers eat the pension bill. The structural deficit is BIGGER than the day he walked in.
They didn't fix anything. They moved it.
The math: $4.69B real gap. $8B from Hochul. $1.64B pension can-kick. $25.9B in future gaps.
He didn't balance the books. But he's gambling your future and kicking the can down the road.
So maybe stop celebrating. But what do I know. Good luck.
Independent journalist was able to gain access to a building in Los Angeles, California because the page-in system to get in was broken
What he discovered was DOZENS of home healthcare and hospice businesses IN ONE BUILDING
Some of the doors don’t even have signs for the business and many of the names just sound fake
If you were running a business for hospice, you wouldn’t want 20 other hospice businesses right next door for competition….
California is going to be 100x the fraud of Minnesota
How can you schedule maintenance midday in 10021?
@Ask_Spectrum@GetSpectrum
This irresponsible decision is costing me thousands today!
Not to mention the high density of essential medical facilities being affected as well.
You are the worst service "provider"!

NYC doctor explains that Zohran Mamdani is a scam artist and the things he’s promising won’t happen and certainly won’t help anyone.
The mayor of New York can only raise property taxes, so he can’t target the billionaires.
Mamdani is gaslighting.

The preemptive pardons... unprecedented? That's the new standard? Presidents can hire people to commit crimes with the promise of a preemptive pardon?
This is how you save democracy?
Great debut for @CuseFootball & @kylemccord16 showing off great skills w TD passes into tight spaces - to an impressive receiver corps.
High hopes this season!
