I kept hoping this wasn't true. but legendary sportswriter and one of my closest friends John Feinstein has died suddenly. distinguished career at Washington Post, 45 books including Season on the Brink, A Good Walk Spoiled and my favorite children's book of all time, Last Shot.…
Senator Gillibrand misspoke in that instance. As she noted subsequently, her concern was the refusal to denounce globalize the intifada rhetoric. She also highlighted that Mr. Mamdani assured her that, if elected, he would protect Jews and all residents of NYC.
Senator @SenGillibrand called on @alfranken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing @ZohranKMamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

The idea that any kind of threat was made is absurd and 100% false—as our chief went on the record to say. Anonymous opponents trying to stir up trouble as they continue to lose support for their position.
News in AM w/ @AndrewDesiderio @bresreports: How crypto cash is curdling Capitol Hill Sen. Gillibrand’s (D-NY) chief of staff rankled senior aides in a meeting after invoking her role as DSCC chair while talking about crypto. Some heard a call for unity. Others heard a threat.

The crypto industry is on a roll in Washington, with stablecoin legislation poised to pass the Senate and a key ally rising in the Democratic leadership ranks trib.al/kIuWeHn
Crypto is poised to secure major legislative wins after years of frustration. Kirsten Gillibrand, the newly minted Senate Dem campaign chair, is a big reason why. "Without her, it doesn't happen," said longtime partner Cynthia Lummis. *GIFT LINK* bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
