We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

I think one reason Mamdani is using non-traditional media is because traditional media isn't covering substantive government stories
The two reporters on this topic cover the Mamdani administration but mostly from the perspective of conflicts. Too much theater, not enough substance.

Terrible news.
Without a US aircraft carrier in the region keeping the peace, China could do something crazy like kidnap the President of a sovereign nation, bomb seven countries in a year, or surround and starve an island nation of oil and food.
That's why you need a credible US deterrence.
