NEW: Letitia James, the New York attorney general, announced that her office will deploy "legal observers" to document ICE activity in NY.

25 people with nothing better to do when folks are out here fighting fascism and ICE is disappearing people.
I suspect that the Gov will now have 25 less votes in the primary.
New: @bkdems have officially rescinded their endorsement of @GovKathyHochul in a joint statement
About 25 district leaders made the decision today on a call w/party chair @AMBichotte. People on the call say they’re furious the Gov didn’t give them a heads up, or discuss her pick

Many badasses here, but one stands out- my girl @AfuaAttaMensah She took leave from a very big job to build a political operation that met the moment and made history. Afua is not new to making history, she just doesn’t require the applause. But she’s very much deserving. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Zohran Mamdani’s revolution, in this moment before he takes office, has two defining qualities. The first is the well-known movement-building skill of the man. Out of nowhere, he has become the center of the political universe in New York and redefined what is possible in American politics. The second is a certain sense of unreality — a tension between what he promises he will do and what the normal laws of political physics would seem to allow.

Interesting @errollouis interview with Julie Menin. She backs universal child care and free buses and wants to build affordable housing in places like Governor's Island; she opposed ballot measures with the Council but says they'll make it easier to build: https://t.co/Yb12PMGayQ
No gracious concession to Zohran Mamdani here - Cuomo points out that nearly 50% of New Yorkers rejected what he stands for.
“This campaign was necessary to make that point,” he said.
We stand with our @NewYorkStateAG! No matter the personal risk, no matter the opposition she's up against, Tish James has never once wavered in her commitment to New York's working people. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻
