The President of Columbia University makes her first remarks on video in which she describes “growing up in a Muslim family with many Jewish and Christian friends.”

“Many people who gathered there were peaceful and care deeply about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza”

Here’s what we know about the arrests at campus protests in New York City on Tuesday night: cnn.com/business/live-…

From one of the absolute best in this City who was also blocked from doing her job on Tuesday night after the NYPD kept her inside a building despite identifying herself as a member of the press:

“... If Trump testifies – call his bluff. He won’t testify, but he also won’t have a Sandoval argument on appeal.”

'To watch a lot of the people who we have been interviewing for weeks get brutally arrested was really difficult to watch,' Samaa Khullar tells CNN. 'We felt responsible that we cant do anything, except document'

'The newsroom is exhilarating. It's the fastest paced, most exciting space I've ever been in,' listen to

“Legal observers believe the Weinstein decision could prove relevant as the hush money trial against former President Donald Trump unfolds in Manhattan…” with ⁦Elizabeth Wagmeister⁩: cnn.com/2024/05/02/pol…

If the NYPD’s large counterintelligence bureau can’t determine who is a student vs who is not after they repeatedly said they had evidence of non-students infiltrating the protests, that seems like a problem

The NYPD has been unable to provide this information despite NYPD Chief of Patrol saying yesterday this information would be released later on Wednesday

On NY1 this morning, the mayor is again refusing to say precisely how many protestors he believed to be 'outside agitators.' Is it half the protestors? It is a quarter? Pat Kiernan asks. 'Pat, I don't think that matters,' @nycmayor says.

Finally! A place where “Columbia” and “Colombia” can safely coexist! 🇨🇴
