    A federal judge dismissed New York City Mayor Eric A federal judge dismissed New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption case on Wednesday, acquiescing to the Justice Department’s extraordinary request to set aside criminal charges so the Democrat could help with President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The judge, though, denied prosecutors the ability to potentially bring the criminal case back after the mayoral election. Judge Dale E. Ho’s order to dismiss the case “with prejudice” spares Adams from having to govern in a way that pleases Trump, or potentially risk having the Republican’s Justice Department revive the charges. The judge said he wasn’t opining on the merits of the case, but that courts can’t force prosecutors to move forward. Read more at the link in the bio. AP Photo/Kena Betancur
    A 13-year-old boy was stabbed in Brooklyn Bridge P A 13-year-old boy was stabbed in Brooklyn Bridge Parklate Saturday afternoon after fights broke out among the hundreds of teens who had filled the walkways and lawns from Pier 2’s basketball courts to the picnic area at Pier 5.  According to police, the boy was stabbed three times in the back just before 6 p.m. near 50 Bridge Park Drive, aka Quay Tower, one of the tall glass high-rises within the park.  Hundreds of teens rushed out of the park — many orderly, but some causing chaos by jumping on parked cars on Joralemon Street, and throwing objects at vehicles driving along Furman Street, which runs next to the park.  One member of a crowd heading north on Furman Street grabbed a brick and smashed the back window of a passing BMW X1 SUV, where three youngsters were sitting in the back seat.

    A somber crowd gathered Sunday on Amity Street aro A somber crowd gathered Sunday on Amity Street around a large Memorial Wall covered with hundreds of photos, next to a coffin and bunches of flowers. It was the fifth anniversary of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial orderplacing COVID-19 patients in nursing homes. Just around the corner on Henry Street is the Cobble Hill Health Center, where at the height of the pandemic, 55 residents died, most in isolation from their distraught families. Nine mayoral candidates joined the memorial service. And each one — whether Democrat, Republican or Independent — joined the mourners in pointing their finger at Cuomo and blaming his March 25, 2020 order for thousands of excess deaths.
