I vote in Baltimore, where I spend the majority of my life and where we have a young, committed mayor working hard for this city. But this is the rare week where I wish I had invoked another address if only to dispatch a Muslim-baiting, Trump-licking sex pest into lasting oblivion. Mamdani for NYC.

Hey, New Yorkers. Are you familiar with the City Charter proposals that will be on the November ballot? You may regret not learning a little about them. Samuel Kramnick's substack is an invaluable resource when city politics need close attention.

When New Yorkers needed a champion, Nadler always had their backs. He’s a man of principle, and I’m deeply grateful for his years of public service.
