On the last day of January, hundreds of people filled the pews of Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Koreatown to hear not the word of God but the gospel of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Bright yellow sweatshirts emblazoned with I TIM KELLER are being handed out to city residents experiencing homelessness, but no one seems to know who is behind them. Tim Keller running for re-election as mayor says it isn't him, and his campaign called it a disgraceful stunt. Some people said they got the hooded sweatshirts at shelters; others said they were handed out on the street.

On July 10, Adams also announced an additional $80 million for expanded child care, another costly but essential service that hurts many low-income families in the city.

Josh Kraft earned $6.3 million last year, reported giving $269,000 to charity, and projected to pay $2,570,000 in federal and state income tax.

"You have to speak and act with moral clarity, and when supporters of yours say things that are blatantly antisemitic, you can't leave room for that to just sit there," Shapiro said.

The people of the Democratic primary have spoken, and I accept the results. I have profound differences of opinion with Assemblymember Mamdani, but we had a mutually respectful conversation.

I think he's terrible, Trump said. He's a Communist. The last thing we need is a Communist. I said, there will never be Socialism in the United States.
