Congratulations to Sabrina Shroff on obtaining a “not guilty” for client: Sean “Sandwich Guy” Dunn on misdemeanor charges of assaulting a federal officer with a Subway sandwich.

I had the pleasure to work alongside Ms. Shroff in a high-profile federal case in SDNY. She is a fierce advocate.

Sean Dunn faced a single misdemeanor after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

I voted for Mayor-elect Mamdani, notwithstanding the accusations of anti-semitism.

1. My #1 choice in the Democratic primary was Brad Lander, a councilman who is my doppelgänger (middle-aged progressive Jewish straight guy, married with children, smart and not flashy). He cross-endorsed Mamdani.

I would not want to be Madeline Cuomo at the next Cuomo family gathering. This article was devastating in 2023, confirming what many had long suspected.

Gift link:

Showing little grace and no humility, former Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat before a largely empty Ziegfield Ballroom last night.

Good riddance.

I hope he learns to pronounce Mayor-elect Mamdani’s name, but I think he is more likely to move back to Westchester.

We’ll see.

1/ Today is Election Day. Our vote is our chance to select our leaders. People have struggled and died to guarantee our right to vote.

If you are a Manhattan resident, I hope that you will join me in voting for Diana Florence for Manhattan DA.

In my dealings with Mr. Azzopardi, I found him to be an unreliable narrator.
I look forward to Sliwa's long tenure as the Special Parade Assistant in the Mamdani administration, where he can affirm each and every parade's right to exist

We raised our daughter in NYC. Over the years, her friends spoke English, French, Haitian Creole, Spanish, German, Javanese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Farsi, Hebrew, Klingon (basic), Latin (high achievers) & Ancient Greek (off the charts).
A mayor who speaks Arabic in a commercial does not faze me.

For mayor: Zohran Mamdani.
For Manhattan DA: Diana Florence

I have known Diana since grade school. She served 25+ years in the DA’s office, creating the bureau for constriction criminals & wage theft. My daughter is working for the campaign.

Today NYC Marathon day, which the “most New York” day of the year (to me). I ran & finished in 2014 & 2018. As a participant, a part of a support team, a fan in person and a fan from a distance, the spirit of New York is transcendent on this day. Dozens of neighborhoods, one love.

In 2021-22, when I appeared on British media discussing "Prince" Andrew's litigation woes in the US with regard to Virginia Giuffre, I insisted on calling him "Andrew Windsor." Some British media regarded me as a "ridiculous Republican" (in the British meaning).

King Charles III validates me.
Royal prerogative: King Charles III banishes Andrew to buttress the House of Windsor's foundations
No one is bigger than the monarchy. Not even the king’s brother. In the end, that reality spelled the end of Prince Andrew’s life as a prince of the realm.
