Story summary

Over 25 NYC-based Jewish groups, including the New York City Public School Alliance and Bridgebuilders Grassroots Coalition, criticized Mayor Zohran Mamdani's new antisemitism plan released on Tuesday. The coalition accused Mamdani of ignoring anti-Jewish harassment and violence disguised as anti-Israel activism, saying his 33-page blueprint "falls dangerously short." They demanded a revised strategy that explicitly addresses hatred against Jews and Israel in a letter to Phylisa Wisdom, executive director at the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism. The current plan invests $29 million annually for hate crime prevention, a $3 million increase from previous years, but the coalition insists this is insufficient due to its perceived shortcomings regarding anti-Zionist hatred.

🔮 “Kathy Hochul may be the worst governor in the history of New York State and one of the worst in the nation,” roared the commander-in-chief during a tele-rally promoting the campaigns of Blakeman and two other New York Republicans, Attorney General candidate Saritha Komatireddy and upstate congressional hopeful Anthony Constantino.
🔮 President Trump has agreed to grant a visa to the mother of a 15-year-old Bronx boy who was shot to death on his way to school, allowing her to travel from Ghana to NYC to mourn her son in person, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Saturday.
🔮 Critics – including President Trump — immediately called for her to step away, saying she was too political, biased and unethical to fairly investigate the case. Norman Siegel, a longtime civil rights lawyer, said James is doing the right thing, adding that her taking the case would be like a police commissioner commenting on police misconduct cases before a probe is finished.
🔮 Republican Bruce Blakeman hit three corners of NYC to deliver his affordability message Saturday as his gubernatorial bid reached the final stretch, jabbing opponent Gov. Kathy Hochul and “anti-American” Mayor Zohran Mamdani along the way.
🔮 The socialist mayor – who has been campaigning heavily to get Gov. Kathy Hochul re-elected in a race against Republican Bruce Blakeman – showed up at the Upper East Side site around 10 a.m. Hizzoner brought donuts for poll workers and was greeted by at least one heckler, who yelled “Communist! You suck!,” according to video posted on X. Early voting will continue for more than a week before Nov. 3 on Election Day.
🔮 The ballot questions before NYC voters in the Nov. 3 general election – which include measures to fast-track how City Hall approves controversial outdoor dining sheds and anti-car, so-called street-safety projects — were selected by a 15-member Charter Revision Commission appointed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
🔮 A big chunk of the money came from former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg; the Greater New York Hospital Association Management Corp.; and Leadership for New York, a super PAC run by Jay Martin, a political strategist and former executive director at the New York Apartment Association.
🔮 Adding insult to injury, the socialist mayor then ditched a fresh Gracie Mansion tradition launched by his predecessor Eric Adams — pulling the plug on the annual breakfast reception at Gracie Mansion honoring Polish heritage.
🔮 But the decisions that I make will be decisions made solely in what I feel is in the best interest of New Yorkers.
🔮 And now they’re teaming up with other homeowners and a New York City co-op in the latest lawsuit contesting the legality of a new state-imposed tax that was initially pitched by Gov. Kathy Hochul and socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani as targeting billionaires — but also hits owners of less expensive second homes.

The groups — which include the New York City Public School Alliance and Bridgebuilders Grassroots Coalition — slammed a 33-page blueprint for dealing with rising antisemitic crime that the Israel-hating mayor rolled out Tuesday, saying it “falls dangerously short” by “largely sidestep[ping] the biggest threat Jewish New Yorkers” face: anti-Jewish harassment and “violence cloaked as anti-Israel activism.”
