True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧡

"Giuffre's family called that admission by Trump "shocking," while questioning whether Trump was aware of Epstein's and Maxwell's actions.

β€œIt was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey 'likes women on the younger side . . . no doubt about it.' We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this,” the family added.

In their statement, the family also said that it was Maxwell who β€œtargeted and preyed” on Giuffre while she was working at Mar-a-Lago."

The Epstein Cover-Up at the FBI Inside the chaotic review process of the Epstein and Maxwell files at the Bureau

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Several NYPD unions endorse Mayor Adams despite corruption allegations The Police Benevolent Association, the city’s largest police union representing rank-and-file NYPD officers, has not announced whom it will endorse.

A better headline would be β€œSeveral NYPD unions endorse Mayor Adams because of corruption.”

That’s some massive ego at work thinking he can beat Mamdani on a second attempt. Also, it will bring out more voters for Mamdani to happily vote against Cuomo. I can’t wait to do so. Again.

β€œSecret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.

Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.

What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

As a New Yorker, this only reconfirms my vote for Mamdani. It will no doubt increase voter turnout in his favor.

So, are you going to vote for the hopelessly corrupt current mayor, the sex pest, or the cosplaying guy with the red beret, but not the Democrat who overwhelmingly won your district?
