Summary

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is considering removing NYC Mayor Eric Adams after four top deputies resigned amid controversy over his corruption case.

The Justice Department dropped Adams’ case, allegedly to secure his cooperation with Trump’s immigration crackdown, sparking backlash.

Seven federal prosecutors quit in protest, and Democratic leaders, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, called for Adams’ resignation.

Adams, who denies wrongdoing, faces a tough reelection. Hochul stressed that removing a mayor is unprecedented but said the situation “cannot be ignored.”

      Remember: Hochul is one of those Reich Wing dems, and a product of voot bloo no matter hoo.

      She stole 675 million from the indigenous peeps, and gave it to Terry Pegula, to build a stadium, on top of even more tax dollars…

      Pegula is a fossil fuel billionaire oligarch. She sides with him, not us.
