Arsonists torched at least 11 NYPD vehicles in a targeted attack in a Brooklyn parking lot early Thursday -- with undetonated explosive devices also found after two masked suspects were seen running away, police and sources said.
Police and FDNY responded to a report of multiple vehicles ablaze at a lot in Bushwick at the intersection of Central and DeKalb avenues -- just a block from the 83rd Precinct station house -- around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
Mayor Eric Adams said at an unrelated press conference that 11 vehicles were damaged and 14 were impacted. No injuries were reported.
Cops also discovered three incendiary devices that did not go off placed on cars in the lot soon after two people wearing masks and gloves were seen running away, sources said.
A socialist Muslim who wants to defund the police and turn subway stations into homeless shelters -- which I guess they already are -- has taken the lead in New York City's mayoral race, which is good, because we need a leftist city to completely collapse if we're ever to see a return to sanity.
The Muslim socialist got AOC's endorsement. Obviously.
Zohran Mamdani, the young democratic socialist who has been rising in the mayor's race, is now ahead of Andrew Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic primary, a new poll reviewed in full by POLITICO found.
The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling for Democrat Justin Brannan's city comptroller campaign, found Mamdani beating Cuomo 35 percent to 31 percent -- a difference that is narrowly within the 4.1 percent margin of error.
Cuomo has been the constant frontrunner since his March 1 entrance into the race to oust Mayor Eric Adams, with most publicly released polls showing him with comfortable leads. This new survey, which did not include a ranked-choice voting simulation, stands to signal a re-ordering of the highly unusual contest ahead of the June 24 election.
The poll of 573 likely Democratic voters was conducted between June 6 and June 7 -- after nine candidates faced off in the first televised debate. The following day, June 5, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Mamdani, lending political star power to his campaign.
The alternative is arguably even worse.
Mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo admitted Thursday that he not only saw a controversial report on nursing home COVID deaths while he was governor, but may have doctored the document -- a bombshell confession that contradicts his sworn Congressional testimony.
"I did not recall seeing the report at the time. I did see the report, it turns out," Cuomo told PIX11 News. "I'm sure if I read the report I made language changes."
The mea culpa comes after the Department of Justice last month reportedly opened a criminal investigation into whether Cuomo lied on Capitol Hill when he adamantly denied that he drafted, reviewed, discussed or consulted on a nursing home report on Empire State nursing home deaths.
Despite his new admission, Cuomo told PIX that the report "was accurate," and complained that the entire issue "was politicized from day one."
The Louisiana Freedom Caucus is reminding people that in that state, if "protesters" commit the crime of false imprisonment on you by surrounding your car, and you fear for your life, you are legally entitled to exercise your right of self-defense, and that includes using your car as a weapon to effect your escape from kidnapping.

YOUR RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE! If violent protests block LA roads and you fear for your life, you have a right to escape in your vehicle without civil or criminal liability. Protests expected June 14 in LA cities. Stay safe. #lalege #lagov @SFC_Network
Sometimes you find a treasure in a thrift shop.
Anyone else may not have stopped, but to super fans like Hughston, this was a major find.'You don't see this at a thrift store everyday,' he wrote on X.
For those who aren't ghost hunters themselves, this painting likely didn't strike immediate terror.
But fans online knew that Hughston was standing in front of 'the most haunted painting in the world.'
That painting?
Viggo the Carpathian! Villain of the disappointing but okay Ghostbusters sequel.
Rapper 50 Cent posted this Russian Disinformation AI Cheapfake goofing on the people involved in the P. Diddy Freak Off case. He seems to be insinuating that Obama supporter and pal Jay Z is involved in some way, but being kept out of the headlines.
I can't believe Tampon Tim admitted this!
That's one of those Russian Disinformation AI Cheapfakes. But it's still funny.
