"Judge Jeannette Vargas of Federal District Court in Manhattan had ordered the Trump administration to end a four-month suspension of funding, but as the Daily News, The New York Times, Gothamist and amNY reported yesterday, Vargas stayed her own ruling until Thursday to give the piqued president a chance to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit."
"The death toll from the cold stretch is now 18 (NYDN). The Times spent a night on the streets to describe what it's like. And Gothamist previewed today's Council hearing on the subject. The FAQ podcast put it succinctly: We need a Vision Zero approach to homelessness. We share the sentiment, but it's not like the de Blasio-era initiative has gotten anywhere near zero traffic fatalities."
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to end a four-month suspension of Gateway Tunnel funding, then stayed her own ruling until Thursday to allow an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The stay keeps 1,000 workers off the job and pauses the nation's most important infrastructure project. Sen. Chuck Schumer and New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill rallied with workers. Coverage also noted Big Tech's use of the Big Game to normalize worker exploitation and reduce compensation to crash victims, Penn Station disruptions, an 18-person cold-related death toll, and calls for a Vision Zero homelessness approach.
