NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch starts the Citizens Budget Commission breakfast saying “In my opinion crime went up as a result of the drastic changes being made in our criminal justice laws in New York state, not as a result of the pandemic.” (i.e. bail, discovery, speedy trial)

Republican council member threatens to cut funding to any nonprofit leader who even *appears* with Zohran Mamdani:
I know it may not be much, but just a small PSA for the orgs who will be seeking discretionary funding from me for the next four years: In my discretion, I will NOT fund organizations whose leadership supports Hamas sympathizers and October 7th apologists. So if you want to be
