The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…
New w/ @Julcuba: Tolib Mansurov, an Uzbek businessman accused of organizing straw donations to Eric Adams, is planning a 99-unit building in Park Slope. Prosecutors had suspected his purchase of 4 adjacent properties was part of a money-laundering scheme. ebx.sh/JpVP1d

indeed, Kathy Wylde told me she tried to calm the nerves of her anxious corporate members on today's call by reminding them only the state can raise taxes. Wylde finds @ZohranKMamdani "smart" & believes the biz world's fears are partly from unfamiliarity: ebx.sh/JSQjCz
Hearing that real estate and business leaders in New York City are convening a 2 pm call to discuss The Zohran Situation
NEW: @andrewcuomo just conceded the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to @ZohranKMamdani. Cuomo had universal name ID, a $25M PAC backing him and tons of institutional endorsements. Mamdani is a 33-year-old socialist. The magnitude of this can't be overstated.
"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."
Sustained cheering outside the Manhattan courthouse after a speaker announces that Brad Lander has been released from federal custody. Followed by chants of “Free them all!”
JFREJ members were on the ground and witnessed this. @bradlander was simply asking for a judicial warrant for the man ICE was trying to kidnap.
Comptroller Brad lander was just arrested by ICE at federal plassa.
Looks like several thousand on hand to see Zohran and AOC. Hard to remember any mayoral campaign ever doing crowds like this.
The partnership between Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Lander will be the first true cross-endorsement under the system. nytimes.com/2025/06/13/nyr… via @emmagf @nytimes
🚨 Know your rights: An ICE removal order is not a warrant and does not give officers the right to enter your home. ⬇️
