Podcasts about New Yorkers

It sure seems like everyone is just counting down the days until the Ryder Cup at this point. With minimal golf news and no PGA Tour event to discuss, Andy instead starts this episode with a tale from his latest round of golf. Playing at one of America's great championship courses, Andy decided he wanted to recreate an iconic moment and ended up almost hitting some folks enjoying a Tuesday afternoon lunch on the patio. It's been a big week for paying homage to iconic figures, as Brendan shares the latest Bob Uecker tribute from the Milwaukee Brewers. Brendan is aghast at the team reading and posting a fake letter from the deceased Uecker, which leads into a discussion about which ghosts this year's Ryder Cup teams should (allegedly) hear from. The Europeans have made it to Long Island and dressed in some... interesting... clothing for their first practice rounds at Bethpage Black. Justin Rose thinks that New Yorkers will become "caricatures" of themselves in the crowd and thinks that the VR preparation is a sign that things have gone too far. In actual golf being played this week, the ultimate Game Within a Game is underway on the LPGA circuit: can the unique winner streak continue at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship? With 18 of this year's winners in the field, the odds are in favor of this incredible streak living on. Andy is fired up about the Stephens Cup and the U.S. Mid-Am, both of which are already underway as of this recording. The Celebrity Ryder Cup rosters have been released with big names such as Toni Kukoč, Pau Gasol, and Brooklyn Beckham facing off against Eli Manning, Colin Jost, and "Sticks Boy " Noah Kahan. In substantive golf news, Amazon Prime has acquired some Masters streaming rights for Thursday and Friday and - as first reported on this podcast - the PGA Tour will not open the season in Kapalua due to the water issues in Maui.

September 17, 2025- Legislation awaiting the governor's signature would potentially make formerly incarcerated New Yorkers eligible to be hired for preferred source employment opportunities. We consider the ramifications of this idea with Maureen O'Brien, president and CEO New York State Industries for the Disabled.

The All Local Afternoon Update for September 16th 2025

This is the 4PM All-Local update on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

A Manhattan judge has dismissed two terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing the CEP of UnitedHealthcare last December in Midtown, citing insufficient evidence. Meanwhile, City Council members are criticizing the Adams administration for skipping a Monday hearing on how federal cuts to SNAP and Medicaid will affect New Yorkers. Plus, the Council is planning a public hearing next week on battery storage systems across the five boroughs, as some residents raise concerns about fire risks. Finally, WNYC's Ryan Kailath has a preview of the city's fall arts season.

My guest today is Bhaskar Sunkara. He's the founding editor of Jacobin magazine and currently serves as president at The Nation. Bhaskar is a proud democratic socialist; he was even vice-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, and he's the author of a book titled The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality. In this conversation, we dive into the practicality of democratic socialism. We talk about rent controls, the affordability crisis in American cities, and the real-world limits of the populist left. We also touch on identity, class politics, and the influence of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. What do we all get wrong about his pitch to New Yorkers?

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik calls in to discuss her strong disdain for New York Governor Kathy Hochul, accusing her of prioritizing her political career over the welfare of New Yorkers. Stefanik criticizes Hochul's endorsement of Zohran Mamdani, calling it an appeasement to the far left and highlighting issues like increased crime rates, antisemitism, and high taxes under her governance. Stefanik strongly suggests Hochul is a weak and two-faced leader who fails to support New Yorkers' real needs. Additionally, the conversation touches upon the enthusiastic support Stefanik has received for a potential run for Governor and the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk. Learn more about your ad choices.

After using her untrained Command Voice to compel armed agents into forgetting their existence, Lyra learns the terrifying truth about her ancestry: she's descended from the White Siren, a woman so powerful that the Order was formed specifically to stop her. As Kai reveals that her abilities could rival those of the reality-altering Siren who nearly destroyed Salem, their supernatural connection deepens into something that transcends normal attraction. But when the Council of First Voices—transcended Sirens existing between dimensions—contacts Lyra through impossible means, they offer her a choice: embrace unlimited power or remain trapped by human limitations.Their recruitment attempt is revealed as a distraction when thousands of New Yorkers begin moving in synchronized precision toward the radio district, all under supernatural compulsion. With sunset approaching and a city-wide broadcast planned from her own station, Lyra must choose between fleeing to safety with Kai or facing an enemy whose power dwarfs her own. The lesson the Council promised is about to begin, and the entire tri-state area hangs in the balance.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

September 12, 2025- New York State of Health Executive Director Danielle Holahan explains how the Hochul administration is responding to federal changes that impact how the state provides health insurance coverage for 1.7 million low-income New Yorkers.

Sal and BT opened the show with fiery takes on the Mets' recent collapse, with Sal revealing he's so disgusted he took down his Juan Soto "fat head" wall decal. He feels the team's playoff hopes are on life support after their six-game losing streak, and a poor weekend against the Rangers would be the final nail in the coffin. The conversation then shifted to the New York Giants, with BT arguing that while it's not a "must-win" game against the Cowboys, it is a "must-play-well" game to avoid total dysfunction and an early end to their season. They also took time to reflect on the somber anniversary of 9/11, discussing the profound impact the day still has on New Yorkers.

Kathy Wylde, the outgoing president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City, has been a central figure in the city's business community and the city's political scene for decades. Wylde has served as an advocate for the city's business sector, and she joined Errol Louis to discuss her nonprofit's mission, New York's fiscal outlook and the policies shaping the heated mayoral race. That includes property taxes, immigration and the need for affordable child care. Wylde also made the case for why the business community is imperative in addressing the issues that New Yorkers care about.

Today I'm thrilled to be joined by Carolyn Vine from Robin Hood, one of New York City's most impactful organizations fighting poverty. Robin Hood is stepping into an exciting new chapter—launching an endowment campaign that will strengthen their ability to serve the city for generations to come. Carolyn and I dive into how this initiative is taking shape, what it means for New Yorkers, and why continuity in leadership has been one of Robin Hood's greatest advantages. Carolyn oversees all fundraising activities at Robin Hood andleads the Development, Marketing, and Events team in their work raising funds to support the organization in its critical poverty-fighting work. In that capacity, she is responsible for reaching annual fundraising goals of more than $150 million and driving Robin Hood's development strategy by identifying new partners and initiatives to expand its fundraising platform, including planned giving, an endowment campaign, and a next-generation leadership group.Prior to joining Robin Hood in 2010, Carolyn worked at the global investment firm, D. E. Shaw & Co., in the Resource Development and Fundamental Research groups, focusing on business development, recruiting, and research.  She has an M.Sc. in African Studies from the University of Oxford. She earned a B.A. in English Literature from Columbia University. A native New Yorker, Carolyn is passionate about making this city a more equitable engine of opportunity for all, and she has fought to do so in her fundraising roles at Robin Hood for over ten years.  She lives in Manhattan with her husband and two small children.

Today, we are honored to have a plethora of voices sharing their firsthand experiences, each providing a unique lens on that tragic day. From David Ortiz witnessing the chaos unfold from his law firm in downtown Manhattan, to Raul Azurdia learning about the attacks from a frantic woman on the street, to Steven Almonte receiving the news during his math class—their stories paint a vivid mosaic of memory, confusion, and eventual understanding. We'll hear from Elaine Almonte, who reflects on the haunting silence of New York City post-9/11, and Janet Velez, who processes her emotions through poetry and faith. Jacey Pascasio recounts the classroom panic and subsequent days filled with fear and uncertainty, while Tony Ortiz examines how these events shaped a generation and altered the cultural landscape forever.  Zoila Ortiz recounts being in high school during the attacks while Yudy Azurdia recounts the start to a typical day.  Tony's father reminisces on witnessing the building of the Twin Towers when he first came to the country and sadly seeing them be knocked down.

Trump spokesperson Caroline Leavitt tore into the press for burying the brutal murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Irina Zaretska—a young woman who fled war for safety in America only to be slaughtered on a Charlotte train. While legacy media obsessed over smearing Daniel Penny for defending New Yorkers, they ignored a career criminal freed by Democrat judges who left Irina to die alone. This segment exposes how blue-city policies, DEI courts, and Democrat leaders like Roy Cooper and Josh Stein have turned justice into a joke, doubling Charlotte's homicide rate since 2019. Americans are seeing firsthand the deadly cost of Democrat rule.

The New Jersey Department of Health issued an executive order effectively allowing New Jerseyans six months or older to get a COVID shot. Plus, two million New Yorkers insured through Healthfirst could lose coverage this fall for a major hospital network. And finally, while hundreds spend hours in line for tickets to Shakespeare in the Park, they're entertained by Garald Farnham playing the lute.

“Somebody up there likes me,” headphones edition. More things that I'm forgetting and costing myself money, for being a dunski. (As the old New Yorkers call it) Couple minor and relatively pointless things about my script, but what the hell. People who cave dive, and have died in caves. Or almost died. And/or the rescuers died too. (Why the fuck do people cave dive??) I watched Blow Out (the old Brian DePalma movie) for the first time and had some thoughts about it, I also went to see the new Spike Lee (ugh) movie Highest 2 Lowest (“tWoOo??”) and was surprisingly surprised by it. I really am extra inarticulate and scatter-brained this episode, I owe you all a beer.

Bo Dietl, Red Apple Podcast Host, calls in for his weekly Tuesday morning hit with Sid to rant about the upcoming mayoral race in New York City and his strong opposition to Zohran Mamdani, whom he described as a dangerous, radical candidate. Dietl praises Curtis Sliwa as the only contender who aligns with Donald Trump's values on law and order, opposing bail reform and sanctuary city policies. He criticizes other candidates for attacking one another instead of exposing Mamdani's record, urging financial and public support for efforts like his NYC ABM (Anyone But Mamdani) campaign. Dietl also ties the issue to broader national and international concerns, drawing parallels to rising socialism, the threat of crime, and support for Israel after October 7. He closes by calling on New Yorkers to fight for their city rather than flee, insisting that Curtis Sliwa—despite critics—offers incorruptible leadership focused on public safety.

(Sep 8, 2025) Last summer, over half the teachers in the St. Regis Falls central school district quit and took jobs in other school districts. One year later, with a leadership change, the small school is looking to rebuild and focus on quality education. Also: Gov. Hochul is declaring a health emergency to help New Yorkers get COVID vaccines.

After using her untrained Command Voice to compel armed agents into forgetting their existence, Lyra learns the terrifying truth about her ancestry: she's descended from the White Siren, a woman so powerful that the Order was formed specifically to stop her. As Kai reveals that her abilities could rival those of the reality-altering Siren who nearly destroyed Salem, their supernatural connection deepens into something that transcends normal attraction. But when the Council of First Voices—transcended Sirens existing between dimensions—contacts Lyra through impossible means, they offer her a choice: embrace unlimited power or remain trapped by human limitations.Their recruitment attempt is revealed as a distraction when thousands of New Yorkers begin moving in synchronized precision toward the radio district, all under supernatural compulsion. With sunset approaching and a city-wide broadcast planned from her own station, Lyra must choose between fleeing to safety with Kai or facing an enemy whose power dwarfs her own.

Curtis Sliwa, Republican running for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to shut down rumors that he's dropping out of the mayoral race or being offered a job by Donald Trump. He insists he's the only true Republican candidate, highlighting his grassroots campaigning across the outer boroughs, record fundraising, and strong support from everyday New Yorkers. Sliwa blasts Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and socialist challenger Zohran Mamdani as corrupt, weak, or out of touch, while positioning himself as the fighter for working-class people, law and order, and tax cuts. He outlines plans to end congestion pricing, remove speed cameras, oppose sanctuary city policies, and crack down on crime.

Maud Maron, running as a Republican in the 2025 Manhattan District Attorney race against Democrat incumbent Alvin Bragg, calls into the program to stress that Bragg prioritizes ideology over public safety, acting like a social worker instead of a prosecutor. She criticizes the Democratic Socialists of America's influence on city politics, arguing that their policies—such as defunding the police and closing Rikers—endanger New Yorkers. Maron shares her own political shift away from the Democratic Party, likening it to being “mugged by reality,” and emphasizes the importance of voting in the upcoming November election, especially given low turnout in off-years. She calls for stronger leadership to restore safety in New York, denounces Bragg's prosecution of Donald Trump as political abuse, and urges Manhattan voters to rally behind her campaign for a safer city.

Is Zohran Mamdani really the champion of New York City's working class — or just the darling of wealthy, progressive elites? This episode of The Brian Nichols Show explodes the myth, digs into the data, and exposes what's really behind Mamdani's rise to political stardom. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS The media paints Mamdani as the voice of everyday New Yorkers, but the numbers tell a different story. We uncover where his support really comes from — gentrified neighborhoods, affluent transplants, and “Hot Girls for Zoran” hype squads — not the struggling working families he claims to represent. If you want the truth the headlines won't touch, this is the eye-opening breakdown you've been waiting for. We dive into campaign finance filings, voting demographics, and neighborhood-by-neighborhood results to reveal how Mamdani's supposed “grassroots” movement leans heavily on rich liberal enclaves. The conversation exposes how the branding of working-class authenticity holds up against cold, hard data — and why it matters for voters far beyond New York City. But this episode doesn't stop at peeling back the curtain. We examine Mamdani's most radical policies — rent freezes, $30 minimum wage promises, and anti-charter school agendas — and explain how, despite their feel-good messaging, these proposals could devastate both working-class communities and new, entry-level professionals in NYC. What happens if Mamdani actually wins? We explore the real-world consequences: from businesses preparing to flee, to crime and policing concerns, to the inevitable “wake-up call” moment that could redefine New York's future. Could Mamdani's victory trigger the political and economic collapse of America's most iconic city? If you've ever wondered how flashy socialist rhetoric collides with the real-life struggles of working-class families, you can't miss this one. Buckle up, because this isn't just about New York politics—it's a warning for every city in America. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Curtis Sliwa, Republican running for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to talk about the mayoral race and his concerns regarding his opponent Zohran Mamdani's fundraising sources, speculating on the involvement of 'dark money' from abroad. Sliwa highlights the significant differences in donor bases, emphasizing that most of his donations come from New Yorkers, while Mamdani's are largely from out-of-state. Sliwa also critiques the current state of New York City under the leadership of Mayor Eric Adams and former Mayor Bill de Blasio, calling for a return to better management and public safety. Additionally, he discusses potential future plans, including the appointment of Ray Kelly as police commissioner and the importance of meritocracy over DEI in city policies.

Breaking: shooting in Minneapolis. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged. So we have to talk about it. Will Smith is faking his audience. Zohran Mamdani is promising New Yorkers free stuff if they only elect him. Problem is plenty of places have already tried that, and it has failed miserably. A Cuban-born businessman, Joseph Hernandez, decided to run against Mamdani. Hernandez knows the dangers of a socialist government and doesn't want to see it happen in America. But, is it really a surprise when American celebrities and politicians alike have been propping Cuba up as an example of socialism?GUEST: Josh FirestineLink to today's sources: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/sources-august-27-2025Buy the OG Mug Club Mug on Crowder Shop now! https://crowdershop.com/products/og-mug-club-mugLet my sponsor American Financing help you regain control of your finances.

Ralph welcomes Ben Cohen (anti-war activist and ice cream entrepreneur) to discuss his new campaign, "Up in Arms," which advocates for a common-sense Pentagon budget. Then, Ralph speaks to Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi about her recent piece: "When will we finally admit: the Gaza death toll is higher than we've been told."Ben Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting. In May of this year, Ben was arrested by Capitol Police after he interrupted Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s testimony by screaming,”Congress kills poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs and pays for it by kicking kids off Medicaid.”We're up in arms because the government has taken the kindness, the heart, the soul of the American people and essentially replaced it with so many bombs that there's no rational use for them. They've turned us all into mass murderers.Ben CohenYou know, politicians starting from Reagan are fond of saying “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” And then they turn around and spend $100 billion a year on a nuclear arsenal that's capable of blowing up the entire world several times over. So they say one thing and they do another. I mean, a nuclear arsenal capable of blowing up the entire world several times over? That's not deterrence. That's delusion.Ben CohenI just go back to the moral issue of our time, which is Gaza—two-thirds of the American people don't support continuing to arm Israel. And we need to make our politicians pay the price for continuing to arm Israel… We have a midterm election coming up. If your guy voted to continue to essentially facilitate the genocide, vote them out.Ben CohenWhen you have more money than is needed, you tend to invite corruption, cost overruns, machinery that doesn't work, and I would advise that you look into why the GAO and the Pentagon auditors are being asked to do fewer audits of the military budget. Because there's almost a direct correlation between throwing money at a government program (especially at that scale) and corruption. And corruption is understandable to everybody. It's the number one political issue all over the world, when the pollsters poll.Ralph NaderArwa Mahdawi is a columnist for the Guardian and author of Strong Female Lead: Lessons from Women in Power. Here is her recent piece on the genocide in Gaza: “When will we finally admit: the Gaza death toll is higher than we've been told” (The Guardian, August 8, 2025)To be fair, the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal have published some pretty devastating reports from their reporters in that area. They've put out some devastating features on what's going on [in Gaza], but it doesn't translate into editorial denunciation by these papers. And it doesn't translate into taking the next step and doing what they would do in other conflicts around the world where there isn't so much prejudice and domestic pressureRalph NaderI'm an opinion writer, but as journalists, you're always supposed to report facts. And the fact is: we have absolutely no idea how many people are dead in the Gaza Strip. But there are plenty of studies (which I reference in the article—one Lancet peer-reviewed study, one letter to the Lancet by a highly-respected scientist, one empirical study by Michael Spagat) which show that the death count is a lot higher. So I truly believe that unless you're saying “the official figure from the Ministry of Health is around 60,000 but studies show it is probably much higher,” then that's just journalistic malpractice.Arwa MahdawiI think there's just this instinct to believe that Palestinians are lying and Israelis are telling the truth. And it also goes back to…this isn't just Israel's war, this is America's war as well. And this desire to see America as the good guys—we're the good guys, the Palestinians are the bad guys. And to have this black-and-white narrative where, obviously, we're the good guys, you know, and so if the Palestinian narrative casts doubt on that, then it must be wrong.Arwa MahdawiI always suggest that people write to the media outlets and say that they want to see more Palestinian narratives, they want the media outlets to voice their concern that foreign reporters are not being let in, that more aid workers are not being let in, that pictures are not coming out.Arwa MahdawiThere are very few pictures coming out of the scale of this destruction in Gaza, but when you see the ones that do come out, it is very, very obvious that there are more than 60,000 people dead.But there seems to be this lack of curiosity with some of my peers. Why aren't they asking, “Why aren't we seeing more pictures?” There should be nonstop outrage that their press freedom is being stifled like this and so many Palestinian journalists are being slaughtered.Arwa MahdawiNews 8/22/25* Last Thursday, during an event in her Masscusetts congressional district, Congresswoman Katherine Clark – who holds the position of House Minority Whip, making her the number two Democrat in the House – called Israel's campaign in Gaza a “genocide,” per Axios. According to Zeteo, this makes Clark the 14th member of Congress to use the “g word.” Lest she be accused of bravery however, Clark quickly walked back her comments. In a statement to the Jewish News Syndicate, Clark said “last week, while attending an event in my district, I repeated the word ‘genocide' in response to a question…I want to be clear that I am not accusing Israel of genocide.” This incident illustrates the cross-cutting pressures facing Democratic Party leaders. This divide will be on the agenda again at the DNC meeting on August 26th, where among other issues, party leaders will vote on competing resolutions to lay out the Democrats' position on Gaza. Allison Minnerly, the progressive DNC delegate sponsoring the resolution to end arms shipments to Israel, is quoted saying “Our voters…are saying that they do not want U.S. dollars to enable further death and starvation anywhere across the world, particularly in Gaza…I don't think it should be a hard decision for us to say that clearly,” per the Intercept.* Even as Democrats wrestle with their position on Gaza, the politics are clearly shifting. The Reject AIPAC coalition has released a new statement saying that among Democrats, AIPAC is now a “toxic pariah.” As evidence of this, Reject AIPAC cites the fact that only 14 House Democrats attended the AIPAC-sponsored Israel trip this year. According to Mondoweiss, “In 2023, the lobbying group brought 24 House Dems to Israel over recess. In 2019, over 40 attended.” Reject AIPAC also cites the fact that Reps. Valerie Foushee and Maxine Dexter, both recipients of millions of AIPAC dollars, voted to block arms to Israel and Foushee is even now rejecting AIPAC money. As these small victories mount, the horizon of possibility for movement within the party grows ever wider.* Last week, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich – a senior department head in Israel's National Cyber Directorate – was arrested in a “multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators,” in Clark County, Nevada according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. According to Reuters, “Alexandrovich faces a felony charge of luring or attempting to lure a child or mentally ill person to commit a sex act ‘with use of computer technology.'” Yet, inexplicably, Alexandrovich was released by U.S. authorities and is back in Israel. This set off a firestorm in the U.S., with many accusing the Trump administration of facilitating Alexandrovich's release. The State Department was forced to issue a statement denying these claims, stating that Alexandrovich "did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge…Any claims that the U.S. government intervened are false." The AP adds that the “Israeli Embassy in Washington and the Israeli Prime Minister's Office did not immediately return messages.” Disturbingly, the mainstream media seems to be purposely ignoring this case. While it has been covered by the Guardian, the Times of Israel, and Haaretz, there has been zero coverage in the New York Times or Washington Post, or ABC, NBC, or CBS. This media blackout adds fuel to the speculation that this case is being tamped down by the administration for political reasons.* Another troubling story regarding minors on the internet comes to us from Mark Zuckerberg's Meta AI. According to Reuters, internal documents from Meta Platforms detail “policies on chatbot behavior…[permitting] the company's artificial intelligence creations to ‘engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,' generate false medical information and help users argue that Black people are ‘dumber than white people.'” Former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan called these reports “disturbing” and cited a legal complaint filed by the FTC to the Justice Department against Snap in January, under her leadership, “charging that [Snap's] AI chatbot was creating risks and harms for young users.” Khan noted that the “DOJ hasn't filed the case or taken any steps to protect these kids,” and demanded that “Any lawmaker concerned about big tech's abuse of kids should ask what is going on.” The administration's lack of action on these issues indicates that despite their rhetorical inveighing against the tech industry, they are treating SIlicon Valley with the same kid gloves they use for the rest of corporate America, even when it affects minors.* In more positive news from abroad, the Washington Post reports that between 2022 and 2024, Mexico lifted a stunning 8.3 million residents out of poverty. This 18% drop in poverty includes a 23% decrease in extreme poverty and a 16% drop in moderate poverty. According to experts, this remarkable achievement is the result of the policies of former President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, or AMLO, and his successor Claudia Sheinbaum, such as tripling the minimum wage and instituting a raft of social programs to aid “senior citizens, unemployed youth, students, farmers and people with disabilities.” President Sheinbaum is now plowing ahead with a new project – producing a “small, 100% electric, accessible [EV],” called the “Olinia,” to be fully manufactured and assembled in Mexico, per Mexico News Daily.* Turning to domestic politics, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik finally showed up in her district on Monday after an extended period of avoiding public appearances. At a ceremony honoring a late Clinton County clerk in Plattsburgh, Stefanik was drowned out by cries of “‘You sold us out!', ‘Shame!', and ‘Unseal the Epstein files!', along with a “steady stream of boos,” according to the Daily Beast. Stefanik “left the podium after speaking for less than a minute,” and when she returned, she was booed again. Stefanik's chronic absence and chilly reception is a bad sign for her gubernatorial aspirations. In the months since she has held a town hall, her constituents held a mock town hall where they addressed an empty chair, per WRGB, and New York Democrats AOC and Paul Tonko held town halls in her district, per the Albany Times-Union.* In more political news from New York, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo is explicitly seeking to woo New York Republicans in his independent bid for Mayor of New York City. POLITICO reports that at a fundraiser at media mogul Jimmy Finkelstein's Southampton estate, Cuomo told the crowd that he agrees with President Trump that the “goal is to stop Mamdani.” To this end, he is trying to convince Republicans that they would be “wasting [their] vote on [Curtis] Sliwa,” the Republican nominee for Mayor, “because he'll never be a serious candidate.” Cuomo also implied that he is open to an alliance with Trump, telling the crowd “Let's put it this way: I knew the president very well.” Dora Pekec, a spokesperson for the Zohran campaign, is quoted saying “Since he's too afraid to say it to New Yorkers' faces, we'll make it clear: Andrew Cuomo IS Donald Trump's choice for mayor.”* In Texas, state Democrats have returned to the state, ending their attempt to defeat Governor Abbott's mid-decade redistricting scheme by denying the legislature a quorum. In a statement Gene Wu, chairman of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, said "We killed the corrupt special session, withstood unprecedented surveillance and intimidation, and rallied Democrats nationwide to join this existential fight for fair representation — reshaping the entire 2026 landscape," per the BBC. The legislature is now expected to approve the redrawn congressional maps; the state Democrats plan to continue fighting them in the courts. California has vowed to redraw their own maps to compensate for the expected loss of five Democrat-held seats in Texas. New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Maryland are also considering their own redistricting plans. Vice President JD Vance was deployed to Indiana to pressure Republicans in that state to redraw their maps to favor Republicans as well, per the IndyStar. It is a sad state of affairs that American politics has been reduced to such naked power grabbing plots, but here we are.* In local news, the federal occupation of Washington, D.C. continues to deepen. CBS reports the governors of at least six Republican-led states are sending contingents from their National Guards to the capital. These include Mississippi and Louisiana, West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee. Just what these troops will do in Washington remains unclear. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, who is sending 160 troops, cited “monument security” and “traffic control” among their official responsibilities. The federal agents on the ground, with little to do – the DOJ itself reports as violent crime is at a 30-year low in the District – seem to be mostly just harassing residents. The Daily Beast reports ICE tore down a banner and replaced it with a dildo. A local, Amanda Moore, posted a photo of 15 federal agents calling an ambulance for a drunk girl in Dupont Circle. And, while the Lever reports D.C. corporate lobbyists pushed for the occupation, it is wreaking havoc on local businesses; Rolling Stone reports reservations at D.C. restaurants are down between 25 and 31%, to take just one example. We can only hope that this pointless, destructive farce of quasi-fascistic political theater ends sooner rather than later.* Finally, investigative reporter and Iraq war veteran Seth Harp is out with a new book – The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces – which details the double murder of Master Sergeant Billy Lavigne and Chief Warrant Officer Timothy Dumas, along with the “many more unexplained deaths…other murders connected to drug trafficking in elite units, and dozens of fatal overdoses,” at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Among other remarkable discoveries, Harp “describes a U.S. special forces k9 [unit] that was given titanium dentures and encouraged to feast on human brains in the field,” in the words of publisher and producer Chris Wade. Remember these titanium dentures whenever you hear that there is no money to pay for critical social programs. The money is there. The political will is not.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
