City officials introduced a new system of retractable flood barriers along the East River on Monday, representing a significant step in safeguarding Lower Manhattan against future storms and protecting approximately 120,000 residents.
These barriers, designed to flip up when needed, are a crucial feature of the East Side Coastal Resiliency initiative. Extending three-quarters of a mile beyond the Brooklyn Bridge, they are part of the city’s broader strategy to reduce the risk of storm surges and flooding—dangers that became alarmingly evident when Superstorm Sandy struck in 2012.

Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday and described the Trump administration as operating like a “clown car.”

The conversation began when host Martha Raddatz introduced the topic of Elon Musk’s recent order to federal employees, asking them to list their achievements or face termination. “Can he do that?” Raddatz inquired.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, where he accused President Donald Trump of deliberately fostering extremism to confuse and mislead the American public.

Host Jake Tapper addressed the looming government shutdown, saying, “The government is hurtling towards a possible federal government shutdown now less than three weeks away.” He followed up by asking, “What is the strategy? Are House Democrats going to vote to keep the government open, or are you just going to let the Republicans be in charge of all of it?”

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, where he expressed his pride in the growing movement aimed at preventing President Donald Trump from continuing his actions.

Kamala Harris, the former Vice President, made her first significant public appearance since leaving the White House, delivering a speech that subtly criticized both President Trump and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.
While accepting the NAACP Chairman’s Award at the 56th annual NAACP Image Awards, Harris painted a grim picture of the nation’s current state, urging the audience to remain hopeful despite the internal struggles within her own party as Trump made his return to the political scene.

WATCH:

President Donald Trump stated yesterday that the hostages being released by Hamas are “coming back in pretty bad shape.” During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Trump commented, “October 7th would have never happened if I was president. Iran was broke. They had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah. They had no money to give. Everybody knows that. Jewish people in the audience know that. Iran was broke. They were not giving money around.”
He went on to explain that following his departure from office, the Biden administration “took all the sanctions off, and Iran became rich very quickly. With oil, you can become rich very, very quickly. And the rest is history.”

On Motzoei Shabbos, three of the hostages freed on Shabbos, along with their families, gathered for an emotional Havdalah at Beilinson Hospital.
Omer Shem Tov, Eliya Cohen and Omer Wenkert were joyously reunited with their extended families. Eliya’s grandfather, Aharon Rabi, led the Havdalah.
