Deep dives
Eric Adams Indicted
Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York City, has become the first sitting mayor to be indicted on federal charges, including allegations of wire fraud and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals. The investigation has cast a shadow over his controversial tenure, especially as Adams openly criticized the Biden administration amidst a migrant crisis that has cost the city billions. Political responses have been swift, with figures like AOC calling for his resignation almost immediately after the indictment news broke. This situation highlights the deep-seated political tensions in New York City and raises questions about the implications of leadership failure amidst rampant crime and public safety concerns.
