Hello, it’s weekend. This is weekender ☕
It was a large week for the besieged city of New York, Eric Adams.
After a term Filled The accusation regulationschallenge “My mind is wearing earring,” unusual Reflection from the Ministry of JusticeAnd even potato chips bags CashAdams’s chances of re -elected this year seem dark. He is performing the fourth survey behind the progressive candidate of the Democratic Party, the association’s member Zahran Mamdani, former ruler Andrew Como, and Republican Curtis Salwa, and he is his Full story.
The traditions have had many transformations and turns so far, including Mamdani’s rebel victory, and Adams avoided democratic preliminary elections by running as an independent leader, and Komo is escalating independently after losing Mamdani’s nomination. And this week, there was another dramatic subcatched plot Reports appeared President Donald Trump was considering presenting Adams and Celeea jobs to abandon their long campaigns because many in the position and right are not happy with the possibility of Mamdani in the city hall. The logic presented by the advocates of the plan was that the polling indicated that Komo has a better shot in the general election race face to face with Mamdani more than the current competition (or from the former ruler in the preliminary elections that he previously lost).
Everything is somewhat complicated and has become more complicated by a series of legal techniques related to voting.
As Adams was And according to what was appointed For an ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, TPM spent on Friday speaking to experts who indicated that polling cards should be printed within about two weeks. The best snapshot of Adams to remove his name participated in a declaration that he was no longer residing in New York City on Election Day, and he is on November 4. While Eric Adams’s residence was long ago A little open questionIf he officially admits not to be New Yorker, this will immediately step down from a mayor. This would pave the way for the public lawyer, Jumane Williams, another progressive democratic, to take over his temporary duties. This also means that the winner of the general elections will take office at the moment when the results were approved and not at the beginning of the year. At every turn, there was a great opportunity to fight in court.
When the plan topped the headlines and more details about the supposed negotiations, Adams escalated speculation by announcing a sudden press conference on Friday afternoon. However, as soon as he left Gracie Mansion, Adams explained that he did not go to RIYAADH – and that he blamed Cuomo for rumors about his candidacy.
“There was a lot of speculation, communications and advertisements what I do,” Adams started, adding: “I want to be clear with you, Andrew Como is a snake and a liar. I am in this race and I am the only one who can overcome Mamdani.”
Adams referred to a pillar to emphasize his point of view.
Adams said: “This polo shirt I wear says,” Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, I will wear it for another four years, “Adams said.
Technically, the polo shirt In reality Bore Adams name said, “The Office of the City of Omda in New York City” on the front. However, Adams has resolved to circumvent and fight in order to keep his job clear, especially when he returned to his residence and revealed all the huge hats on the back of Polo who said: “The mayor.”
TPM MAMDANI wrote to ask if it will also wear the polo if elected in November. Mamdani did not respond immediately.

Here is what TPM possesses this week:
- A look at the place where things stand with the legal battle around the Trump administration’s efforts to take the authority of the wallet away from Congress.
- Democrats seem, at least, at least, have been chosen to pressure to extend the improved excellent tax credits that are appointed at the end of the year in exchange for helping to maintain the government open.
- With the recent attack on a boat off the coast of Venezuela this week, President Trump fulfills threats against that country whose advisers were able to contain during his first administration. Not so in Trump II.
Let’s dig.
Trump’s efforts to steal Zips in Congress through the courts
The Trump administration is awaiting a decision from the Capital Department regarding its attempt to freeze spending unilaterally, and the conference has already been devoted to it, just two days after the fall of a local court.
The administration wrote in a file on Thursday: “In light of the damage, we ask to alleviate this court by 5 pm tomorrow,” the administration wrote in a file on Thursday. “In the absence of this court, the public prosecutor intends to seek relief from the Supreme Court early on my work on Monday.”
A current case has expanded about reservation violations to include the new attempt by the administration to use “cancellation of the pocket”, and he claims that the girls of Russian ideas allow the president to cancel any allocations he loves, as long as he does this correctly at the end of the fiscal year. Experts say that the legal arguments behind this are fake.
The Committee of the Continuing Current Department – one of the appointed Biden, requested one of the appointed Obama and one of Trump – responded to Trump’s request to the Ministry of Justice to freeze the unlike ruling from the provincial court by 5:00 pm on Friday.
This case will be before the Supreme Court soon, as the right -wing majority will have to decide whether it is ready to shed light on a terrible violation of the authorities in the service of strengthening Trump’s presidency.

Trump outperformed John Bolton over Venezuela
The Trump administration is trying hard to draw attention to Venezuela. It has detonated a boat from the country’s coast this week – under the justification for doubtful law enforcement – claimed to be on board 11 people (were they escaping from drugs or immigrants? Who did not know). They are mobile warships, a nuclear submarine, and a swarm of combat aircraft near the country. Fox News correspondent so Proposal On Twitter that the army is preparing for war.
In light of this, I decided to look back in Trump’s ideas and those around him for Venezuela in his first term. This is partially due to the pattern we all noticed this time: the plans and impulses that Trump advisers possess are now implemented during the first chapter. The White House still lacks focus, but there is little restraint.
So, how does this apply to Venezuela?
I had a look at news reports and written by national security officials, and one by former National Security Adviser John Bolton, and the other by former Defense Secretary Mark Esber. What is noticeable is that both depict Trump as wanting military action against Venezuela. He left other officials to pay attention or clean chaos; Even Bolton repeats his view that military power was “other than Starter” Contra Trump.
For Esper, Trump saw the overthrow of the Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro, whose government does not recognize the United States, as a “Back List element”. Some of this is familiar: “We must get the oil,” Trump quotes his saying. At one time, Esper wrote, officials of organizing a “marine show in the Caribbean region” to intimidate the Venezuelan government.
Bolton spends a lot of writers mocking almost anyone else in management as a fool or worse than that is a liberal wardrobe. Trump falls in the previous category, but even Bolton’s desire to “comprehensive and comprehensive pressure, there is no relentlessness,” Duofish seems compared to the president who hopes Venezuela “is really part of the United States.”
“I explained why the military power was not the answer,” Bolton wrote about his response.
It is strange to see Bolton in the role of the peacemaker, it raises real questions about the extent to which we may go here; And whether this is a purely display of strength or something else.

He waved Trump’s strength on government financing negotiations
Congress and negotiations have returned to the government’s financing for the next fiscal year and avoid closing the government before the end of the month. The constant decision in the short term appears more and more like the most realistic option for Republicans. But the reality is that they will need a handful of democratic voices to keep the government open regardless of the path they choose.
Democrats seem to have a request that would protect the health care of the Americans in exchange for their votes to finance the government. Specifically, they are pushing to expand the tax credits reinforced by the law of reasonable prices, which are scheduled to end at the end of 2025.
But in the midst of this Push, the Trump office continues the White House and the means of management and budget in Trump Virus to obtain the money that was previously seized by Congress and participating in the illegal pocket cancellation scheme.
On the horizon of the Trump administration of the Congress Authority of the Valley, it is waving on government financing negotiations – although many Democrats publicly do not publicly raise this narration to the Republicans to do something about seizing power. So far, Democrats have not publicly submitted a request that might try to end the endless financing, freezing, and saving the pocket in exchange for helping Republicans avoid closing.
A former TPM employee told them that they believed that the decision to focus on health care may be intended because they left the judicial branch deciding that it is illegal and closed. A The federal judge announced on Wednesday The maneuvering to cancel the pocket of President Trump to be illegal, which quickly resumed the Trump administration.
The internal negotiations may still include talks on how to reach legislators in a two -party financing deal when the executive authority refuses to spend federal funds in the way in which Congress is allocated.
When asked if the recent pocket saving request-the fact that some Republicans claim that the Vogue maneuver is legal-will become a point attached to the continuous negotiations to finance the government, and Senator Brian Price Shahatz (D-He), a member of the Senate Credit Committee, told TPM:
