QUID PRO QUO: Eric Adams sold out NYC to save himself. The DOJ is dropping his corruption case after he cozied up to Trump. This is blatant quid pro quo, and we should all be furious. Stay loud. Stay angry. We won’t forget.

NEW: In its second correction of the night, DOJ tells a federal judge it make factual representations to the court about the status of one of the DOGE bros who had access to the Treasury Dept. systems. This is becoming a pattern
