    the law prevents him from actually issuing the arrest warrant

    But it didn’t prevent him from campaigning on issuing the arrest warrant.

    Like, hey, I get it. We got a rent freeze and a tripling of the city’s public housing budget. We got free city buses on more frequent schedules. $26M towards three big city-owned grocery stores. A voucher plan for public childcare, along with plans to expand city childcare amenities and services.

    “Why aren’t you ordering ultra-Zionist Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to arrest a visiting dignitary operating with diplomatic immunity?” seems kinda trivial and foolish by comparison. Why didn’t Zohran replace Jessica Tisch when he took office? Idfk. But this seems like the kind of move a man who came to office on a wave of populist economic energy doesn’t have high on his list of to-dos.
