NYC Implements Fire Prevention Measures After Prospect Park Blaze
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has blamed President-elect Donald Trump and conservatives for a brush fire in Prospect Park, attributing it to climate change exacerbated by their rollback of climate action. Lander, a Democratic socialist and potential 2025 mayoral candidate, expressed his frustration on Facebook, linking the fire to broader climate issues and criticizing Trump's policies. His comments have drawn criticism from moderate Democrats, who accuse him of pandering to the far-left.
