• Phony transgender rights leaflets circulated in Texas to inflame voters — A company formed in Wyoming has been circulating phony leaflets and text messages in Texas, falsely purporting to be from a trans rights group. The materials, addressed to "students," claim to provide resources for transgender and LGBTQ+ youth but are deliberately inflammatory, purporting to instruct children on separating from parents and replacing them with other adults or organizations. Right-wing groups have shared the mailers and linked them to Democrats.

• Andrew Cuomo campaign posts unlabeled AI-generated deepfake videos in NYC mayoral race — Andrew Cuomo's campaign posted AI-generated deepfake videos attacking opponent Zohran Mamdani during the 2025 New York City mayoral election. One video, later deleted, depicted racist and Islamophobic content showing a fictionalized Mamdani eating rice with his fingers, a Black man shoplifting, and another Black man appearing to endorse sex trafficking. The campaign claimed the ad was sent out by accident. New York state law requires AI-generated campaign ads to be labeled; this ad was not. The incident exemplifies emerging use of generative AI in electoral campaigns.

• Zohran Mamdani wins Democratic primary for New York City mayor — Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assembly member and democratic socialist, won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor on June 24, 2025. If elected in the general election, he would become the first Muslim mayor of America's largest city. His victory immediately triggered a coordinated barrage of Islamophobic attacks, death threats, and xenophobic rhetoric from Republican figures, conservative activists, and online commentators, with themes invoking terrorism, questioning loyalty, and demanding deportation.
• Coordinated Islamophobic attack campaign against Mamdani by Republican figures and activists — Following Mamdani's primary victory, a coordinated campaign of Islamophobic attacks erupted across social media and conservative political circles. Senior Trump administration officials including Stephen Miller and Representative Elise Stefanik, along with far-right activists Laura Loomer and conservative commentators, posted content branding Mamdani a "Hamas terrorist sympathizer," "jihadist terrorist," and "communist," calling for his deportation and predicting violence. Mamdani reported multiple death threats, including voicemails threatening to blow up his car, which the NYPD hate crimes taskforce is investigating.
