Mamdani sues federal government over public charge

por Not A Charm: Zohran Mamdani

Oliver notes the weird shift where federalism isn't really a system anymore but just permanent litigation. The federal government writes a rule and New York City files a lawsuit to fight it, with Mamdani leading a coalition against the new public charge rule. He calls that federal move gross illegality and warns of irreparable damage while the city sues. It feels like the dynamic is just Washington issuing rules and Albany responding with legal action instead of actual governance.
