New York City invited State Attorney General Letitia James to speak at a FDNY event, hoping for support from the uniformed workforce, but instead faced backlash. Probationary Firefighter Christine Aldea, a National Guard member, joined FDNY, becoming the first in her family. A councilwoman defended firefighters' First Amendment rights after they booed AG James and cheered Trump. FDNY held a graduation ceremony shortly after the incident, with Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh presiding. At a State of the City event, there were mixed reactions towards AG James and NYC Mayor. NYPD honored Traffic Enforcement Agent Supervisor Karen Myree, a 34-year veteran and 9/11 Survivor. FDNY welcomed new recruits, including two 9/11 legacies.

In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, the NYPD recognizes Traffic Enforcement Agent Supervisor Karen Myree, a 34-year veteran, and a 9/11 Survivor. Being part of the NYPD was her dream job & a blessing for which she is forever grateful—serving her community with pride since 1989. https://t.co/HhlKtIq7sd
At @NYCSpeakerAdams State of the City, there's a big standing ovation & cheers for @TishJames (don't tell some firefighters) after the speaker mentions her. She mentions @NYCMayor right after who only gets a partial standing o, and some boos from a guy a few rows up from me.

Probationary Firefighter Christine Aldea is no stranger to service. Since 2019, she has served in the Army National Guard. Her commitment to helping others & giving back to her community compelled her to join the FDNY. She is the 1st in her family to become an #FDNY firefighter. https://t.co/xVuLCD7Lkv
NYC invited State Attorney General Letitia James to speak at a FDNY event because it wanted to create the illusion that the city’s uniformed workforce supports her. Instead, the city got a dose of reality. https://t.co/1IFRWftQSg
