Best idea of the day. Effective Thursday @stopandshop will be open from 6am to 730am ONLY for seniors, then open to everyone until 8 pm close.

The DM that changed my life, 🔟 years ago this morning. @brianstelter asking @patkiernan , in his not so subtle way, if I was single. Pat printed it and put it in this card for our wedding, that I later framed ❤️

One and half done. Finally got into a vaccine-eligible group this week (50+ 😢) and Dawn and I grabbed 1 am appointments at @nycHealthy in Jackson Heights. Grateful for science. Relieved. Ready for restart. (Cautiously.)

Here we go again with the misleading Amazon bashing. The Hudson Yards space is for 1500 people. Versus the 25,000 jobs that were pledged in HQ2.

Won’t you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway - *without* requiring the public to finance shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, & corporate giveaways. Maybe the Trump admin should focus more on cutting public assistance to billionaires instead of poor families.

When she arrived in studio for a @ny1 interview, @CabanForQueens had only seen the online version of her @nytimes endorsement in the Queens DA race. As is my custom, I had the print version handy. #MorningsOn1
