An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.
The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

Last night, yet another person died on Rikers Island — the fifth New Yorker to lose their life in City custody within the last two weeks and the 13th this year.
These deaths are a result of Eric Adams' failure to reckon with the crisis of violence and neglect in our jails.

It's an honor to earn the endorsement of the Bronx Democratic Party and the elected officials who fight for this borough every day.
Families in the Bronx are being crushed by the affordability crisis. As Mayor, I’ll deliver for them and all New Yorkers.
