Will Paladino (or her son, who runs her account) tweet something similar in September to disparage those celebrating or otherwise commemorating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year? Did she say anything in February on Lunar New Year?

Adriano Espaillat and Darializa Avila Chevalier have both criticized the super PAC spending benefitting their opponent. Neither has denounced the super PAC spending on their behalf. cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/…

Real Fight NYC, the PAC that has gotten in behind Antonio Reynoso with undisclosed money, is funded by labor unions, particularly the AFT, a trusted source with direct knowledge tells me. There had been speculation that @AIPAC was possibly funding it, but that’s not right.

@RichMendezJr There was a long X thread I read from someone a week or so ago about how Espaillat smartly had surrogates appearing on TV in the DR, knowing that people who watched it would contact their relatives in the US and encourage them not to vote for Darializa. But I can't find it.

Chevalier accused Rep. Espaillat of having "multiple surrogates going on press tours in the Dominican Republic saying blatant lies..." If the surrogates part is true, they're probably trying to target the many Dominican voters in the district who still have close ties to DR.

🎥 Rep. Adriano Espaillat accused progressive challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier of “celebrating the death of innocent” Israelis in their election debate today, pointing to her attendance at the anti-genocide protests in NYC on October 8, 2023. 🔹New reporting from Drop Site News finds a surge of last-minute donations from major pro-Israel donors and millions in outside spending flowing to Rep. Espaillat’s campaign as he faces the Mamdani-backed democratic socialist in New York’s 13th Congressional District, which includes Harlem, East Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood. 🔹 On a single day in June, Espaillat raised nearly $112,000 from 69 wealthy donors outside his district. Drop Site reports that 48 of those donors have also contributed significant sums to AIPAC since 2023, and most have also given to AIPAC-aligned organizations. 🔹 The spending comes amid a broader multimillion-dollar effort to boost Espaillat before the June 23 primary. Since early May, more than $3.3 million in outside spending has been deployed on his behalf, including over $2.5 million from the Super PAC BOLD America. 🔹 Drop Site reports that much of the funding behind the spending blitz may not be publicly disclosed until after the election because of federal reporting schedules. 🔹 The race has become a proxy battle over Israel and the future direction of the Democratic Party, with Avila Chevalier criticizing U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza and Espaillat declining to describe the assault as a genocide. Avila Chevalier responded by noting that 1,400 Palestinians had already been killed or wounded in Gaza by the time she attended the October 8 ceasefire rally. The full exchange ⬇️

In a #NY1Debate for New York's 13th Congressional District, incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat — who has accepted thousands of dollars from AIPAC — was asked to describe his relationship with the pro-Israel lobbying group. "First, no one dictates or tells me how to vote. My constituents do that," he responded. "I listen to them, I weighed how their opinions are, I make sure that I consult with them, and then I follow through by voting their way."

Chevalier says she attended the rally because she "knew that the reaction would be an outsized reaction that would cause the death of thousands upon thousands of people."

Things got a bit tense when Rep. Espaillat said Chevalier was "celebrating the death of innocent people" at a rally the day after the Oct . 7 attacks. Chevalier said she was "shocked by the dehumanizing language that was just used."

Both DSA organizer Aber Kawas and Assembly Member Steven Raga are running to succeed Gianaris in the state Senate. Gianaris hasn't endorsed in that race yet, but he did just endorse Claire (who endorsed and has been endorsed by Kawas).
Claire Valdez@claireforny

For years, @SenGianaris has fought for Western Queens — standing up to corporate power, cracking down on polluters, and delivering for working people. As he ends one chapter of an extraordinary career in public service, his endorsement means everything to me.
