We indicted Miguel Baron, a Queens pharmacy owner, for allegedly stealing over $31 million from Medicaid. Baron exploited New Yorkers with HIV in a scheme to fraudulently bill for medication he never provided and bought real estate and World Cup tickets with the stolen funds.

Sat between Rep. Nydia Velázquez and former BK dem chair in court today as fight for the party's future continues. I asked about the apparent violation of a judge's order barring the exec committee from voting on a new chair, her attorney disputed there was any violation.

The former chair of the BK Dems is trying to call a meeting at 10pm tonight to pick a new chair, in defiance of a judge’s order and using rules that the court struck down. No one should attend this meeting. Democrats respect the results of elections and the rule of law.

Some progressives cast doubt on any insights from a Democrat who is the opposite of a fresh face and who works for a Wall Street firm.
"He's like the political equivalent of Windows 95 - an operating system without an application in the modern era,' said Maurice Mitchell, the national director of the Working Families Party, a progressive group. "I don't know what counsel he has to offer people who are running in competitive elections in 2026."
For his part, Mr. Emanuel said he had a history of winning. And while he did not shy away from the fact that fresh alliances he is forging in these House races could help him if he does, in fact, run for president in 2028, he was also clear that his efforts were not driven by higher ambitions.

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.
