Frank Carone, former Eric Adams chief of staff, arrested
Frank Carone, former chief of staff to ex-New York City mayor Eric Adams, was arrested Wednesday morning by federal agents in a bribery probe tied to a New York City shelter contract. Federal authorities also arrested Carone's younger brother, Anthony Carone, and Queens hotel owner Yan Po Zhu, accusing them of funneling bribes through business associates connected to the contract. Carone's role as an Adams confidant and longtime Brooklyn political power broker makes the case a major development for scrutiny of municipal contracting and the former mayor's political network.

Dumpster Crew3Impossible to fathom someone willing to go to prison for Eric Adams…
Jen-of-Λrc3Typically, I’d like the judicial system to speed up. In this case, I hope the case drags on until after Jan 20, 2029… I do not want Trump to be able to Pardon this fool.
John Prosser3I hate that my first reaction is both "of course" but also "do federal charges even relate to truth anymore?"
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani helped three progressive candidates win New York House primaries, underscoring his growing influence. Elsewhere, an AI industry fight played out in a House race and President Donald Trump endorsed both candidates in a South Carolina runoff. One of them won.
Kimberly ☀️3Social security is socialism. Mess with our SS checks and we will rebel. Universal healthcare is necessary because everything in healthcare is so broken. I think I may be a Dem Socialist.
Awesome Austin in Ohio2Endorsing both candidates technically doesn’t make you a winner it makes you a loser who hates losing
