As Zohran Mamdani and Elizabeth Warren hold listening session, Andrew Cuomo touts plan for NYPD
Cuomo also excoriated Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's commitment to public safety.
It came on the same day Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren campaigned with Mamdani, saying billionaires are trying to buy the election to stop the Democratic socialist.
The former governor of New York unveiled an aggressive $250 million plan to:
Cuomo expressed a concern that rank-and-file NYPD officers may not support Mamdani.
"We've seen what the NYPD does when they have a mayor who doesn't have their back. You know what they do? They turn their backs," Cuomo said.
Cuomo was referencing an incident that came to epitomize police disdain for a mayor -- officers turning their backs on former Mayor Bill de Blasio when he entered the hospital after the shooting of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos back in 2014.
Cuomo also cast doubt on Mamdani's recent statement disavowing earlier social media posts about defunding the police.
"I am skeptical of politicians who change their positions weeks before an election," Cuomo said.
Mayor Eric Adams joined in the attack on Mamdani, especially the plan to have social workers -- not officers -- respond to domestic violence calls.
"So when you put civilians in harm's way to respond to a domestic violence incident, that's irresponsible and it's reckless. When you state that police officers should not investigate hate crimes, that's irresponsible and that's reckless," Adams said.
Mamdani held a listening session Monday with Warren to talk with families about universal child care.
Afterward, she launched into an attack on Cuomo for seeking contributions from rich people to run as an independent after he lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani.
"Andrew Cuomo is spending his campaign, evidently, just grabbing up as much money as he can from millionaires and billionaires who are unhappy that someone is a mayoral candidate in New York City and didn't start by bending a knee to the billionaires to say what would make your life better," Warren said.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise as Trump hints at chip tariff carveout
US stock futures edged higher on Thursday as President Trump's sweeping tariffs hit dozens of US trade partners after his self-imposed deadline for countries to strike deals expired. At the same time, Trump's hint of a carveout for coming duties on semiconductors boosted tech for a second consecutive day. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) gained 0.6%. Futures attached to the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F) were up 0.7%, and those on tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) rose 0.8%. Trump's deadline for trade deals landed at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday.

Man charged in Minnesota lawmaker shootings expected to reveal plea in federal hearing
The man charged with killing Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounding a state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, is expected to plead not guilty when he's arraigned in federal court on Thursday, his attorney said. Vance Boelter, 58, of Green Isle, Minnesota, was indicted July 15 on six counts of murder, stalking and firearms violations. The murder charges could carry the federal death penalty, though prosecutors say that decision is several months away. As they announced the indictment, prosecutors released a rambling handwritten letter they say Boelter wrote to FBI Director Kash Patel in which he confessed to the June 14 shootings of Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. However, the letter doesn't make clear why he targeted the Hortmans or the Hoffmans, who survived. Boelter's federal defender, Manny Atwal, said at the time that the weighty charges did not come as a surprise, but she has not commented on the substance of the allegations or any defense strategies. The hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dulce Foster will also serve as a case management conference. She plans to issue a revised schedule with deadlines afterward, potentially including a trial date. Prosecutors have moved to designate the proceedings as a "complex case" so that standard speedy trial requirements won't apply, saying both sides will need plenty of time to review the voluminous evidence. "The investigation of this case arose out of the largest manhunt in Minnesota's history," they wrote. "Accordingly, the discovery to be produced by the government will include a substantial amount of investigative material and reports from more than a dozen different law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local levels." They said the evidence will include potentially thousands of hours of video footage, tens of thousands of pages of responses to dozens of grand jury subpoenas, and data from numerous electronic devices seized during the investigation. Boelter's motivations remain murky. Friends have described him as an evangelical Christian with politically conservative views who had been struggling to find work. Authorities said Boelter made long lists of politicians in Minnesota and other states — all or mostly Democrats. In a series of cryptic notes to The New York Times through his jail's electronic messaging service, Boelter suggested his actions were partly rooted in the Christian commandment to love one's neighbor. "Because I love my neighbors prior to June 14th I conducted a 2 year long undercover investigation," he wrote. In messages published earlier by the New York Post, Boelter insisted the shootings had nothing to do with his opposition to abortion or his support for President Donald Trump, but he declined to elaborate. "There is little evidence showing why he turned to political violence and extremism," the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota, Joe Thompson, told reporters last month. He also reiterated that prosecutors consider Hortman's killing a "political assassination." Prosecutors say Boelter was disguised as a police officer and driving a fake squad car early June 14 when he went to the Hoffmans' Champlin home. He shot the senator nine times, and his wife eight times, officials said. Boelter later went to the Hortmans' home in nearby Brooklyn Park and killed both of them, authorities said. Their dog was so gravely injured that he had to be euthanized. Boelter surrendered the next night.
