🔮 Bruce Blakeman slammed Gov. Kathy Hochul as lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “puppet” during a GOP campaign rally at an upstate shopping center Sunday, calling out the governor over the state’s soft-on-immigration sanctuary policy.
🔮 But the attorney general came under fire after it was revealed that she had posted comments on social media expressing sympathy for the alleged victim before the appointment – suggesting she may not be impartial and prompting President Trump and others to call for her to recuse herself.
🔮 “Anyone seeking public office is expected to demonstrate sound judgment, self-control, and the ability to handle confrontation without resorting to physical aggression.
🔮 “After this year we will have spent $10 billion on illegal migrants who just claim asylum.

🔮 Dawood Faisal, 22, who was already behind bars on manslaughter charges in the May 25 death of Cara Trager on Union Parkway, was indicted on separate raps for allegedly vandalizing Bagels & Co., a Jewish-owned shop that displayed Israeli flags and banners, the Queens District Attorney’s Office said.
🔮 Now, community leaders maintain they’re fed up, and said Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani haven’t done enough to clean up their neighborhood after years of complaints.
🔮 “As attorney general, I will launch a sweeping transit-crime crackdown,” Komatireddy said.
🔮 Police have not identified her as a suspect, but are investigating whether she may have been involved.
🔮 “[Wednesday’s] plea ensures that Ms. Martin will be placed on the Animal Abuse Registry, prohibiting her from owning, caring for, or having contact with animals,” District Attorney Susan Cacace said in a statement.

🔮 Chanel — who is 10 years old and “very playful but not with anyone” — initially wouldn’t go with the cold-heated duo when they double-parked outside the 130th Street and 14th Avenue residence and beckoned to her, Lopez said.
🔮 She did not discuss her purchase of the murder weapon but said, “If I could have prevented this, I would have.”
🔮 Local officials are expected to hold another press conference with additional details around 8:30 p.m. EST.
🔮 Police have not identified her as a suspect, but are investigating whether she may have been involved.
🔮 None of that stopped Mayor Zohran Mamdani from referring to Belgal as “a New Yorker” in a raging tribute Thursday against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a label some Bronx locals took offense to.
🔮 Jacob Freytes’ mother, meanwhile, ripped New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s calls for ICE to “be abolished” after the bloody run-in with Belgal this week — which sparked rowdy anti-ICE protests across the Big Apple.
