Disgorged at Croton. We must’ve all bought the kind of @Amtrak ticket that only takes you halfway

Rescue engine is now 15 minutes late. @Amtrak, what is your plan for serving us breakfast? Something with bacon would be nice.

New estimate re the “rescue train” puts us at Penn Station in 2.5 hours. @Amtrak, you’re testing the limits of Social Darwinism.

New York City Council approved a plan to address the city's housing crisis, called City of Yes. The plan had been the topic of much-heated debate in Council meetings throughout the city.
