Reformers say the changes stack the vote to keep Bichotte Hermelyn in power despite widespread criticism from prominent Democrats. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan weigh in on the latest Kings County clash over control of the Brooklyn Democratic Party. After that, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has agreed to a landmark legal settlement that includes a payout of up to $18 billion and new restrictions on how children can use its social media platforms.
