‘Zohran’s Law,’ Cuomo’s very political housing proposal, would not apply to Zohran
The rule pitched by Cuomo’s campaign would means test incoming tenants in rent-stabilized units.

What has he said about the Jewish people that you object to? He hasn’t said ANYTHING disparaging about Jewish people. You’re literally just projecting and imagining comments that he never made.
Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell says of Zohran Mamdani: "I don't associate myself with what he has said about the Jewish people."

This is vile news but even in announcing it the tactical error is evident. Pinning opposition to allegations instead of Hegseth’s own declarations of actual war against US in his books invited grifters like what Fetterman has become to thread this awful needle.
Fetterman said he might vote yes on Hegseth. Congrats Pennsylvania. Oh and I'm sure all his constituents are gonna LOVE this
Raju: Do you believe his denials about the sexual assault?
Fetterman: well there haven't been any charges filed so

1/ Jon makes the mistake of believing that the First Amendment issues with KOSA have been resolved, leaving no principled reason for opposing it.
But that's just not true. KOSA remains a free speech nightmare, and presuming anyone opposing it must have a financial incentive is deeply disingenuous.
