I did NOT vote for @ZohranKMamdani and I strongly disagree with many of his positions on issues. But the attacks on his religion and not-so-subtle references to NYCās new āMuslim Mayorā are abhorrent and unAmerican. There should be NO ROOM FOR RACISM in our political discourse.

Of the 93,873 tests reported yesterday, 635 were positive (0.67% of total).

The COVID pandemic has affected people in different ways. I regret to say that I developed a drinking problem. What used to be mainly a social activity, and a way to cope with stress, has now become too frequent and self-destructive.

I am not a fan of @IlhanMN but I think people on both sides of the aisle should strongly condemn this blatant bigotry and Islamophobia. Threats of violence against anyone is never acceptable!

.@NYGovCuomo is killing off the already decimated restaurant industry in NYC. The city-wide blanket closure announced today is arbitrary, unnecessary and will cause irreparable harm to our economy. I hope the voters remember this when King Cuomo runs for a 4th term in 2022
