🔮 “She’ll follow the facts,” the gov declared at their joint press conference Friday, adding that “if the evidence supports criminal charges,” James will “pursue them.”
🔮 Smith also obtained emails of dozens of reporters at major media outlets — targets who fell across the partisan spectrum, by the way, in case left-leaning journos thought their political allegiances might spare them.
What was their crime?
🔮 As e-bikes kill and maim ever more innocents, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York lawmakers still refuse to crack down.
🔮 He’s also correct to want companies to ensure their products are safe: “I’m not going to stifle growth of something” that may be “bigger than the Industrial Revolution,” he declared, but he also promised to “be very careful” about moving forward.
🔮 If high summer energy bills felt painful, brace yourself: Electric rates are set to keep climbing, and home-heating oil prices will surge by 70% this winter.
During July, average residential electricity prices in New York climbed $270, or 14% compared to July 2025 — nearly triple the national year-over-year rise of 4.9% — and worse is likely coming.

🔮 Not only did City Hall require homeowners to prove they resided in Gotham for more than half the year, it told 17,000 New Yorkers they may be liable for the tax, and posted a list of 900,000 city properties as potentially ripe for the hit, which the judge ordered removed.
🔮 Economic statistics don’t change anyone’s vote, but the realities behind the numbers do — so a steady barrage of good reports on inflation, jobs and growth could avert the Republican bloodbath most of the media are now gleefully anticipating in November.
🔮 Again proving you can’t take all the Staten Island out of a Staten Islander, comedian Pete Davidson brought the crowd alive on Jimmy Kimmel’s show the other night by calling on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to fix the “f—ing BQE.”
🔮 It looks like City Hall still has some grownups; who else could’ve spilled the beans on the latest idiocy plotted by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s brainless trust — a troll-farm offensive against top city CEOs?
