Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed

From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

We're launching a portal to review federal immigration enforcement in New York after yesterday’s ICE raid on Canal Street.

New Yorkers who were present should submit videos or photos, and we will review and investigate any violations of the law.

Cuomo released a "Muslims Against Mamdani" video and one of the people just straight up accuses Mamdani of being Hindu

Salaries are lower and infrastructure is greater, reducing the cost of living - after going to grad school in the UK I have friends who live/work there in different fields and have much lower salaries and equal/greater quality of life than I do

Not totally onboard with these takes - they repeat some truly tired talking points about masculinity and Gen Z

But I feel somewhat validated to read about other people's struggles in the job search, where I'm really struggling as well

I'm live on Bay Area public radio right now with a panel of all-stars to discuss immigration enforcement and what technology ICE is using.

The Authoritarian Playbook: Trump escalates violent ICE raids

Over 59,000 people are in ICE detention. Sixty-five percent had no convictions and 93 percent had no violent convictions, according to data obtained by Cato.

Earlier on Canal Street, as agents attempted to disperse, one who I recognize from the courts pulled out a taser and threatened protester with it. @thecity.nyc
