Full moon rising. New month starting.
Studies show that when local news outlets stop scrutinizing government, efficiency drops. Public payrolls bloat. Waste increases.
The cost gets passed to you—roughly $85 in added taxes per person after a county loses one of its last few papers.

A window into the real work of protecting New Yorkers.
"Staff describe Goldman's office as "the hub," and within minutes, it became exactly that."

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE | Readers sound off on The News’ new font, cold missionaries and a drug bust
For more, see my op-ed (“Local news is retreating, hurting NYC democracy,” Dec. 7), underscoring the importance of strong, independent local journalism and the urgent need to reverse the decline of local news coverage in New York City. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/07/l...
In a sad week for journalism, my @nydailynews.com letter calls out the paper's font change as "another visible marker of a paper steadily abandoning its identity, its readers and its responsibility to this city." www.nydailynews.com/2026/02/06/r...

Honored to be recognized by @cityandstateny.bsky.social
as one of NY's top political strategists, highlighting my work helping to win tough primary races.
Another sad closure. We must do better.

Remembering Alvin Bragg's historic inauguration 4 years ago, and excited about his new term to build on his successful @manhattanda.bsky.social record of reducing gun violence by 66%, investing in mental health solutions, and holding the powerful accountable.

Happy New Year!
Brad Lander approached Nancy Pelosi at a gala and told her he was running for Congress. “I am a Dan Goldman Democrat,” she responded. “Democrats don’t run against Democrats.”
“Was I too much of a b—?” she asked after.
@donlemonofficial.bsky.social tells the story:
Agree. If we want competitive elections, accountable institutions, and communities that feel seen and heard, we must rebuild the local press that makes democracy real. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/07/l...
Christmas night Chinese dinner delivered a fortune predicting a great start to the new year. Cheers to that. 🥠
“The starpower of his office, along with a stabilizing level of violent crime in the borough, allowed Bragg to draw a wide margin of electoral support for a first-term that was defined by a set of new progressive policies and a hard line on violent crime.”

“We don’t control the immigration system. We don’t control the courtrooms, but we have some power and we are going to aggressively use it in every way we can as a force for good,” Goldman said.
Take a minute to read how Congressman Dan Goldman’s office is actively pushing back against attacks on the rule of law—stepping in in real time to support immigrant families targeted by the Trump administration.
Persistence, hard work, and legal filing of @repdangoldman.bsky.social making a real difference. Fighting, and winning.

Happy birthday to two of the best legislators and my favorite people @micahlasher.bsky.social and Senator Robert Jackson. #twins
For months, ICE illegally blocked my colleagues and me from conducting oversight of facilities where immigrants were held in inhumane conditions. Today, a judge put a stop to it.
“One deeply knowledgeable observer of congressional inquests notes: ‘With Dan Goldman’s skills he would be one of the most effective members in the next Congress.’”

I know politics has taken over this story a bit, but FWIW, I first found out about what Goldman was doing months ago. I learned about it from the activists and immigrants. He is a crucial part of the fight against NY's courthouse detentions.
Court watchers have built what they call a "habeas machine" with @repdangoldman.bsky.social.
For months, the congressman'office has been a rapid response center.
Families go there after a loved one is detained and lawyers immediately get on the case.

The real work of protecting New Yorkers from ICE is not being done for cameras.
It's done in quiet rooms, where advocates, activists, and @repdangoldman.bsky.social
and his incredible team are working around the clock to fight back.
Must read ⬇️

Advocates told us something powerful yesterday: our presence changed the dynamic inside 26 Federal Plaza and ICE agents finally respected people’s rights when a member of Congress was watching.
We will keep up this oversight so immigrants can attend court without fear or intimidation.
Excellent op-ed by @richiefife.bsky.social about the need for local journalism in NYC!! It's not just local flavor - it's crucial for democracy. Local elections decide important matters that affect our lives - we need more than social media, PAC mailers, and vibes. In @nydailynews.com
