I can't believe this—a Pulitzer nomination. My hands are still shaking. I'm incredibly proud of the work we did uncovering patterns of systemic sexual abuse on Rikers, and deeply grateful to the Pulitzer Board for recognizing it. I hope city and state officials take note, too.

Truly honored to have been recognized by the The Deadline Club with Jaclyn Jeffrey-Wilensky for our story about gun violence hot spots across NYC. This project involved complex data mapping & many days out on those blocks, talking to residents. So grateful to all those people for trusting us.

The feds arresting the city comptroller for demanding a judicial warrant while the mayor was across the street barring the press from public briefings for questions he doesn’t like is where we’re at

The NY Press Club is dismayed by the actions of Mayor Eric Adams banning a City Hall reporter simply for doing their job. We are reaching the height of absurdity when the Mayor of New York City is applying a hostile tactic seen in the White House.

one leading candidate says he wants to hire 5K more police officers. the other says he won’t hire more police but instead would invest in social services. brittany.kriegstein reports on what that divergence in the NYC mayoral race says about Dems (via @gothamist) gothamist.com/news/2-top-dem…
