I am at the Andrew Yang versus Paperboy Prince basketball game. Gale Brewer is here too. Image
Yang and Prince talk about spreading love in a time of increasing hate crimes. Yang says this is a good example of the power of ranked-choice voting. Image
No candidate is less afraid of public humiliation than @AndrewYang, between the Ziwe interview and dancing to “Yang, You about to Lose.”
“I have all these memories of Jay-Z on all these songs but I was never sure if it was his song or something he was guesting on... should have said “Dirt off your Shoulder,” or something from that era... I’m sorry Jay.” Image
Politicians are stealing journalist’s jobs. Image

Jhoan Boada, the immigrant who put up middle fingers after being arrested for the Times Square cop beating - *was not there at all* Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office said today. Exonerated and complaint dismissed.
The image tore up Fox News, and was in at least one pro-Trump ad.
Image
Image
Boada's lawyer said wasn't involved, and Bragg didn't ask for bail, because the office wasn't confident that it was him in the fight. *Many,* including Hochul, argued Bragg should've been tougher. Today, they say it would've met jailing an innocent person. nydailynews.com/2024/01/31/nyp…
Body Cam footage released two weeks after the beating - after it had blown up, politically - showed the NYPD seemed to physically escalate the situation even though the guy was walking away. After that - yes, the cops were violently kicked and grabbed.

Pro-Palestine activists are rallying outside the Shomer Shabbos Somos event - hosted by the UJA, Met Council and Chabad of Puerto Rico.
They audio is VERY loud - you can hear it across the laguna at the Caribe. The Friday night Jewish event hosted by @NYCGreenfield is always one of the biggest and best attended of the whole Somos conference. cityandstateny.com/politics/2022/…
Image
@NYCGreenfield You can’t hear the protest at all inside - and the event is well-attended as usual, including NYPD’s Caban, Speaker Adams + Abreu, Bottcher, Dinowitz, Gounardes, Hanks, Lander, Louis, Myrie, Ossé, Restler, Simone, Vernikov + more.

NYPD did NOT show up to testify at a Council oversight hearing of the SRG, but submitted a written statement, @KamillahMHanks says.
This was postponed twice already: cityandstateny.com/politics/2023/… Image
In short: Image
Incredible timing on this, the day of the SRG oversight hearing. nytimes.com/2023/03/01/nyr…

Sam Bankman-Fried (openly) funded the Protect Our Future super PAC. In NY, it backed Josh Lafazan #NY03, Laura Gillen #NY04 and Francis Conole #NY22.
SBF groups spent on Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, too, and endorsed Rep. Ritchie Torres (#NY15) and Max Rose.
cityandstateny.com/politics/2022/…
Bankman-Fried also donated millions to other groups, e.g. Dem-backing Senate Majority PAC. And there was apparently a lot of dark money we don't even know about. But Protect Our Future seems like one where SBF and/or his brother picked who to support.
opensecrets.org/outside-spendi…
At the state level, Bankman-Fried-funded Protect Our Future PAC also spent big on Assembly Member-elect Alex Bores (@AlexBores).

Hard for me to immediately tell how much $$, because the state campaign finance reporting site is bad.

These photos were posted with a purpose 👀
Few to no policy differences. Low-ish stakes since the winner will retire soon anyway. Two iconic New Yorkers. This Nadler/Maloney race could be four months of pure political entertainment.
I hope I end up being wrong here.

First Deputy Mayor Lorraine Grillo is speaking at a @CBCNY breakfast. “The mayor has a theory, it’s not how much you spend, it’s how you spend it.”
“I’m at the tail end of getting over COVID, so there’s a brain fog here,” Grillo says.
The mayor himself also tested positive for COVID on Sunday and is still isolating at Gracie.
Speaker Adams also had COVID earlier this month.
Grillo says yesterday was the first meeting of the city’s committee for capital process reform, convening corporate heads, construction co’s, labor unions and more.
