We saw this man sprawled out, sleeping, while @GovKathyHochul was taking questions from reporters at the other end of the same @mta subway car. Crime is down in the NYC transit system, but tackling the sense of disorder underground remains a struggle. @ABC7NY at 6 https://t.co/9WausHBUII

We rode the subway with @NYCMayor Eric Adams and USDOT secretary Sean Duffy—who suggested DOGE should audit @MTA’s books. The mayor did not dispute @SecDuffy on that or #congestionpricing, saying “We don't have to agree on all aspects of it.” https://t.co/btdmeoI5zJ
