JUST IN: Statement from CIA Director John Ratcliffe about Intelligence on Iran's Nuclear Program:

"CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran's Nuclear Program has been severely damaged by the recent, targeted strikes."

Shares of firms tied to the NYC real estate market fall over fears of Socialist Jihadi Zorhan Mamdani's socialist plan to freeze rents.

Shares of firms with exposure to New York City's real-estate market were hammered Wednesday as investors panicked over the growing prospect of rent-freeze advocate Zohran Mamdani winning City Hall.

Vornado Realty Trust and SL Green, two of the Big Apple's largest developers, each plunged more than 5%.

Other real estate investment trusts (REITs) with heavy ties to the city also suffered. Equity Residential and Empire State Realty Trust fell 3% and 4%, respectively. LXP Industrial Trust was down 2.5%.

Investors also sold off shares in New York banks with major real estate portfolios.

Flagstar Financial and Dime Community Bank fell 5% and 4%, respectively, while Flushing Financial slipped 3%.

Obama's senior economic advisor warns about electing a jihadist to be the mayor the terrorists' favorite target city... but then says that Mamdani just has to offer some meaningless distancing from his jihadist platform and then he's all good to go.

Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers

I am profoundly alarmed about the future of the @DNC and the country by yesterday's NYC anointment of a candidate who failed to disavow a "globalize the intifada" slogan and advocated Trotskyite economic policies.

I fear it is evidence that our party is following the most problematic aspects of Britain's Labor Party. It didn't work there, and it won't work here.

@Harvard and other universities' moral weakness after Oct 7 in condoning hateful, anti-Israeli, and even antisemitic, rhetoric and activity opened the Overton window in ways that contributed to yesterday's outcome.

I hope candidate @ZohranKMamdani, who showed great ability to learn and adapt during his campaign, will continue to evolve in ways that provide much needed reassurance to people committed to a free from prejudice, market economy as an American ideal.

An important task for Mamdani now is to provide reassurance that his moral energy and formidable political skills can be productively directed for the City of New York at this difficult moment.

So you acknowledge he's a terrorist, but you're only asking that he offer some obviously-insincere pablum about not wanting to bring the intifada to NYC and then you're okay with him?

Palestinian-American Chuck Schumer is endorsing Mamdani:

Chuck Schumer @chuckschumer

I have known @ZohranKMamdani since we worked together to provide debt relief for thousands of beleaguered taxi drivers & fought to stop a fracked gas plant in Astoria. He ran an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, & opportunity.

I'm upset that my parents never got rich enough for me to become a socialist.

The U.S. Dept. of Education has found California in violation of Title IX for letting males compete in girls' sports.

CDE & CIF must restore records, titles & awards to female athletes AND send apology letters to every girl robbed by this discrimination.

This is fantastic.

BREAKING: The Department of Justice is now suing Tim Walz and Keith Ellison for providing free and discounted college tuition for illegal aliens.

It's great to have a President who cares about fighting for American citizens in blue states like Minnesota!

Jasmine Ratchet believes she's the one the Constitution empowered to make decisions about war and peace. I have never heard so eloquent an argument for unlimited executive power.
