In his opening remarks in this @BrianLehrer forum on #NY13, @RepEspaillat touts his bio as first undocumented immigrant in Congress and his work on local issues like Kingsbridge Armory. @DarializaforNY hits him for his legislative record that she deems insufficiently progressive.

NEW: @ZohranKMamdani is seriously considering endorsing @DarializaforNY over @RepEspaillat in the tightening Upper Manhattan House race, despite telling Espaillat he'd back him last year. This would give her serious momentum. W/ @mayaaking:

NEW: Airbnb, which is all but illegal in NY, is trying again to break into the market, making a push in Black homeowner areas as the World Cup nears. But @ZohranKMamdani and @SpeakerMenin are all but certain to side with @NYHTC. W/ @mayaaking:

Here is the story of Baltimore's Key Bridge disaster as told by people who lived it. A husband’s last kiss as he left for work. A phone ringing and ringing in the dark. The snow of concrete dust on the river and the groan of broken steel in the current: thebaltimorebanner.com/commu…

Responding to the issue for the first time, Kamala Harris called GOP claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, “a crying shame.”
The GOP ticket is, “spewing lies that are grounded in tropes that are age-old,"
She said in her NABJ intv, questioned by @EugeneDaniels2

strategic to have strong CA representation in the room: Butler, Lieu, and Garcia
interesting pick: Crow who was very outspoken in calling for Biden to drop out over the summer
looking at the spin room on June 27 to tonight ... only 1 member of congress is returning: Garcia

With Biden out of the race, the politics of age have been turned on their head. After last week's rambling child care answer and other incoherent comments, Trump will be the one tested in tomorrow's debate to demonstrate that he is still up to the job. nytimes.com/2024/09/09/us/po…

Have seen Beltway chatter raising questions about Harris’ itinerary in GA. Why not metro Atlanta? Want to understand it: Here’s a 2023 piece I did on Quentin Fulks after he managed Raphael Warnock’s 2022 win and at outset of his Biden-Harris 2024 gig. 1/2 apnews.com/article/90a7ba2ad…
