New York Mayor Eric Adams has announced he is dropping out of the race, just over a month before Election Day. In recent weeks, President Trump and New York business leaders pressured Adams to drop out of the race in an effort to help boost the campaign of disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent. We get response from Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. Tune in Monday for the full interview.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of New York on Friday in solidarity with Palestinians and to denounce Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he addressed the United Nations General Assembly. Crowds marched from Times Square toward the U.N., chanting slogans demanding Netanyahu’s arrest for war crimes and an end to U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile, inside the U.N., the Israeli leader addressed a largely empty room as many countries’ delegations walked out in protest.

Microsoft says it has barred the Israeli military from using the company’s services to spy on millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the occupied West Bank and stored in Microsoft’s vast Azure cloud computing platform.

It’s an unprecedented victory for No Azure for Apartheid, a group of current and former Microsoft workers demanding an end to Microsoft’s work with the Israeli military.

We speak to Hossam Nasr, an organizer with No Azure for Apartheid and a former Microsoft employee who was fired last October after organizing a vigil outside the Microsoft headquarters for Palestinians killed by Israel’s military in Gaza.

We continue our conversation with Will Potter, the author of Little Red Barns, an investigation into the state repression of journalists, environmentalists and animal rights activists who attempt to expose the harms of the U.S. factory farming industry. “This is a corporate versus the people issue,” says Potter, who explains how the exploitative agriculture industry pollutes the environment, abuses animals and partners with law enforcement to criminalize activist movements, all while promoting a “fascist” myth of the “happy farmer and the American countryside.”
