🔮 Gov. Kathy Hochul will raise New Yorkers’ taxes to fulfill Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist agenda if she’s re-elected next week, her GOP opponent Bruce Blakeman warned.
🔮 A spokesperson for the Justice Department said, “The Department takes allegations of antisemitism seriously and is committed to enforcing federal civil rights laws that protect students from discrimination.” The city DOE and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
🔮 “New York needs an attorney general who will put public safety over politics and make sure New York State is one of the most prosperous, best places to live in the country,” Teixeira added.
🔮 The Transport Workers Union of America, whose local members include roughly 40,000 city subway and bus workers toiling under an MTA contract that lapsed in May, began airing the scathing spots Friday, a day before early voting opened
🔮 Critics – including President Trump — immediately called for her to step away, saying she was too political, biased and unethical to fairly investigate the case. Norman Siegel, a longtime civil rights lawyer, said James is doing the right thing, adding that her taking the case would be like a police commissioner commenting on police misconduct cases before a probe is finished.
🔮 The folky tunes of an extremely rare piano will once again sound in Manhattan Friday — nearly a century after Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia banned the instruments from the city streets.
🔮 Your name will still appear in the poll pads and you could still vote on the machines,” said BOE spokesman Vincent Ignizio.
🔮 The nine-member Public Design Commission was supposed to only review how the new casino and its grounds were supposed to look and accommodate the public — but critics at the meeting attacked the project by Mets owner Steve Cohen over objections to gambling and how it would affect the area.
🔮 The country’s teachers unions are opposed to the program, claiming it will somehow siphon taxpayer dollars from public schools — even though backers such as Dem New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have dismissed the notion.
🔮 Some members of the Real Estate Board of New York made max donations to the Friends of Kathy Hochul and the Democratic Party — a move that may aim to give them influence with the governor but may ultimately be fueling policies that are hurting their bottom lines, strategists and Republicans said.

Narrative

Paterson’s siding with Netanyahu clashes with current Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who last week defended Mamdani and accused the Israeli prime minister of smearing the mayor. Hochul, during a WNYC interview last week, was asked about Netanyahu’s earlier video message accusing Mamdani of “supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who butchered our people” Oct. 7, 2023 and of “inciting riots against New York Jews.” Netanyahu is “not telling the truth,” Hochul said during the interview, released the day ahead of the Israeli leader’s fiery address to the UN General Assembly.
