If the judge rules in the landlords' favor, his decision could upend the rent freeze for around 2 million New Yorkers who live in rent-stabilized apartments—and knock down one of Mamdani's key achievements. But it's not the RGB's first rodeo. hellgatenyc.com/rent-freeze-...

The Rent Freeze Starts Thursday. Landlords Think a Search of Mamdani's Texts Could Overturn It
The landlords allege the rent freeze was predetermined by the mayor and his allies, and are asking the judge to nullify it.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Huckabee’s embarrassing the President is unacceptable. The U.S. existed before Israel. Britain’s 1917 Balfour agreement sent to Rothschild, leader of British Jewish community, created Israel. In 1948, Israel invaded Palestine, and America wanted a “U.S. Base” in the Middle East.
