Zohran Mamdani, Shania Twain and a top lawmaker's rebuke

Hey, it’s Dan. It’s only Tuesday. But at least it’s the end of the day, right?

In today’s CapCon, a top Democrat in the state Legislature invoked country singer Shania Twain to offer advice to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as he faces fresh criticism over his rhetoric around Israel.

“Taking a strong stance against Jew hatred does not appear to be his priority,” the lawmaker said.

Then, more than two years after a bill was signed into law to place tight restrictions on how social media platforms can serve content to children, New York has finalized rules for it to take effect.

Here’s what they say, including how platforms will have to verify someone’s age.

Later, Hochul is warning law enforcement agencies across the state that have said they won’t comply with a new statute prohibiting formal agreements with ICE. Here’s what she said.

Plus, a new bill seeks to spend $50 million to create a pilot program for remediating black carbon contamination in areas with indigenous populations. Here’s how it would work.

And Hochul has called up a fresh slate of 18 bills for consideration. Here’s the full list.

Names in today’s CapCon: Zohran Mamdani, Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, Carl Szabo, Charles Lavine, Benjamin Netanyahu, Bruce Blakeman, Donald J. Trump, Kevin Parker
