Funniest part of Cuomo talking point about how number of bad things like homelessness rate going up since he fled office is that he’s currently campaigning with and touting the partnership of the guy who oversaw that

After utilities successfully drove Marissa Gillett off Connecticut's public utility commission ... the PUC has *immediately* resumed rubber-stamping rate hikes for utilities.

PURA approves $66M rate hike for United Illuminating customers

The first major decision since former chair Marissa Gillett resigned will cause monthly electric bills to rise by an estimated $10-$13.

Example 5 Million of why we should never accept claims from law enforcement without intense skepticism.

They do not provide “just the facts” (fun, relevant side-note: know who was a big proponent of and advisor to Dragnet? The LAPD).

Their claims OFTEN crumble, esp when self-serving.

A US Drug Enforcement Administration agent said the DEA made “high-level arrests” of 171 Sinaloa Cartel members across New England in August.

A Globe investigation found that many of the DEA’s targets were addicts, low-level dealers, shoplifters, and homeless people.

The DEA said they arrested 171 ‘high ranking’ Sinaloa Cartel members. A Spotlight investigation found that’s not true. - The Boston Globe

A Globe investigation found that the federal agency misrepresented the stature of its targets, claiming cartel ties at a time when the Trump administration is taking lethal military action against such groups.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

This "Democrats and Republicans" line is bullshit.

I wrote a bipartisan bill last year that would have stopped all asylum seekers from being released into the country. It gave POTUS emergency power to shut down the border. It put billions into border security.

Trump killed it.

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

“Increased antisemitism threat” is a propaganda media play.Israel has ramped this up over decades. ADL and AIPAC are onboard. That’s why they loosened the definition and blowout the concerns on campuses. Plenty of reason to be skeptical. False flags are way too common. If he’s charged, we’ll know
