Adolfo Carrión Jr. will serve as deputy mayor for housing, economic development and workforce; Suzanne Miles-Gustave as deputy mayor for health and human services; Jeffrey Roth as deputy mayor for operations; and Kaz Daughtry as deputy mayor for public safety.

2. Hochul touts subway safety progress a year after unveiling anti-crime plan

Subway safety is on the right track, according to new statistics that show a drop in transit crime.

To mark one year since Gov. Kathy Hochul launched her subway safety plan, the state on Thursday released encouraging numbers. So far this year in the transit system, arrests are up 71% and major transit crimes are down 29% compared to the same time last year. 

3. Trump administration cancels $400M in grants and contracts with Columbia University

The Trump administration said today that it's pulling $400 million from Columbia University, canceling grants and contracts because of what the government describes as the Ivy League school's failure to squelch antisemitism on campus.

The notice came five days after federal agencies announced they were considering orders to stop work on $51 million in contracts with the New York City university and reviewing its eligibility for over $5 billion in federal grants going forward.

4. Trump casts doubt on NATO solidarity, despite it aiding the U.S. after Sept. 11

President Donald Trump on Thursday expressed uncertainty that NATO would come to the United States' defense if the country were attacked, though the alliance did just that after Sept. 11 — the only time in its history that the defense guarantee has been invoked.

Trump also suggested that the U.S. might abandon its commitments to the alliance if member countries don't meet defense spending targets, a day after his pick for NATO ambassador assured senators that the administration's commitment to the military alliance was "ironclad."

5. U.S. employers add a solid 151,000 jobs last month though unemployment up to 4.1%

The Labor Department reported today that hiring was up from a revised 125,000 in January. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.1%.
