NY Primary Day: Mamdani’s DSA Slate Tests Whether Anti-Israel Politics Can Win Congress

Today's lead: New York goes to the polls — Zohran Mamdani's full DSA slate faces its first electoral test in three high-profile Congressional primaries, with Israel and AIPAC at the center of every race. Results will define the post-primary Democratic landscape on Israel for the 119th Congress.

Also tracking: The US-Iran deal frays in real time — Trump claims nuclear inspections are agreed, Iran flatly denies it, as $3B/week in oil revenue begins flowing to the IRGC. And a gunman opened fire in Montreal's Jewish Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, killing a rabbi and a police officer — motive under investigation.

In the wire: The UN releases a "genocide" report against Israel (a hostile information operation, rejected by Jerusalem); Ro Khanna becomes the first sitting congressman to sign an antisemitic TrackAIPAC pledge; and the DOJ opens a civil rights investigation into a Brooklyn café that banned Rep. Dan Goldman over his Israel support.
