Was I the last to know that Biden was at the World Trade Center this afternoon? (G. spotted him from above.)
The highway was completely shut down heading south starting at Canal, and as a result, just about every street in the neighborhood was at a standstill by about 1:30. (And here I thought I was being smart by avoiding the UN.)
The president was receiving a briefing on Hurricane Fiona’s impact on Puerto Rico and the ongoing federal government response in the FEMA Region 2 Office at One World Trade. He’s back at the White House now — he grabbed a flight from JFK around 6p.
At FEMA office in NYC, @POTUS says federal government will reimburse Puerto Rico 100% of the cost for debris removal, power and water restoration and shelter and food for the next month following Hurricane Fiona.

About 100,000 nurse joined you myself & wife inc trying to get to Brooklyn after a minor medical procedure. After 90 mins going from E34 to Westside to avoid reported FDR shutdowns for pres & fighting back up to Houston & Broadway had to resort to subway. This was a stunt on par w GOP sending legal immigrants across country. The Pres staff so concerned over image trashed out the most profitable densest populated area of its BLUEst city. Way to go airheads.
Seriously WHY? the hellish traffic generated by this for NO REASON… this could have been done remotely… stop making our lives more difficult for photo ops!
The horn-honking on Canal and Broadway was INSANE for the entire afternoon. Why wasn’t every single illegal horn-blower ticketed at the site? Maybe they could benefit from anger-management therapy as well. There were lots of police around and none did anything about it.
They were too busy not enforcing the loitering, street vending, and counterfeiting laws.
That explains it. Crimes must be ignored in order of their priority.
No one will ever take me up on this idea: the redesign of car horns such that they are louder inside the car than outside. It’s gratifying to contemplate
I love this idea.
Americans and their stupid obsession with horns is pathetic.
What do you expect from the most hated country on the planet in reality tho, 10 years of arguments on horn blowing?
My son who takes the yellow bus was stuck on his bus for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Was rerouted to Brooklyn (I have a tracker). After 4ish we start to see so many school busses drive by. Can you imagine the worry on some parents when they did not see their kids get home on time especially if they did not have a tracker on their kid. This was terrible and bad timing. I hope they reconsider NOT doing this during the hours of 1-4. >:-/
