Scoop w/ @hollyotterbein:
NYC Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, has been privately discussing a run against Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), per 3 ppl familiar.
Comes weeks before the mayoral election & Jeffries has not endorsed Zohran.

When Melissa Hortman was assassinated in June by a rightwing killer, sitting GOP senators made jokes. When Charlie Kirk was killed today (by an as yet unknown killer), Democrats unanimously condemned it, while the right actively stokes retaliation against the entire left.
I have repeatedly condemned the school shooting in which Charlie Kirk was assassinated, but it’s worth highlighting that the political assassination of Minnesota Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman was barely talked about at all.
I feel like it’s my obligation to say, Fox News tonight sounded like RTLM radio in Rwanda.
It began with false narratives that Tutsis were a threat to Hutus. They were instructed to eliminate that threat, and their violence a form of defense.
Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of this website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. In moments like this, we should be lowering the temperature and finding our shared humanity — not fueling more hatred and violence.
Trump didn’t mention:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol
- pipe bombs left at the DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
A conservative murdered a Democratic lawmaker -- and wounded another -- three months ago.
Between 2013 and 2022, right-wingers committed the vast majority of political murders.
If you actually care about political violence, you should not spread wild lies about it.
