We’re in lower Manhattan today to remember the 2,977 individuals (including four Bloomberg colleagues) who died 17 years ago and the collective impact it had on New Yorkers, the nation, and the world.

After years of understandable anguish, occasional quarrels, and rebuilding, it’s enormously gratifying to see the splendor of the site, and the camaraderie among survivors, families, and those dedicated to rebuilding our city and their lives.

A personal thanks to the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum Chairman who was at times a lonely voice for the need to move forward and in one remarkable moment came to work at City Hall and announced he would raise the money to finish building the memorial. Many years later, and with $600 million raised, he and his team deserve recognition for this remarkable site and for planning today’s remembrance with grace as they have for the last 16 years.

We will never forget.

On the author of the annonymous New York Times Op-Ed from a senior Trump administration official:

“This weekend, Kellyanne Conway said the author of the op-ed wants to create chaos, and is a national security risk. Then Trump was like, ‘wait, maybe I wrote it.’”

“I read that Trump says that he has the ultimate deal to make peace in the Middle East. But first he says he wants to make peace between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. That’s much harder.”
— Jimmy Fallon

“This is interesting; Starbucks is testing a new, lighter version of their frappuccino, which has fewer calories and less sugar. Yup, it’s just coffee.”
