The funny thing about this meeting is that Mamdani didn't back down on a single policy point or anything he's said about Trump.

She grew award-winning strains and was poised for a legal cannabis license. Instead, a massive police and FDNY raid — triggered by her vindictive ex-DEA uncle — left “the Godmother” facing felony charges. @rosalindadams.bsky.social deep dive into the family saga.

While state officials were courting a talented cannabis grower to join the legal market, her uncle was a former top DEA official who threatened her for growing plants at home. Then police and firefighters swarmed her house in a raid that would shatter her family.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
