Researchers and activists increasingly fear that under the Trump administration, the U.S. government is abdicating its historic role as a clearinghouse for reliable information.
Government’s historic role as trusted information source is under threat
The U.S. government for decades has been the world’s leading provider of reliable data. Many researchers wonder if that is still the case.

Mamdani is not allowed to get very high SAT scores. And Rufo is allowed to either publicly lie or publicly misunderstand how SAT scoring works.
So Rufo's article is based on the claim that Mamdani got 2140, an "89th percentile" score, below the median for acceptance to Columbia.
2140 out of 2400 is 89%.
That's not how SAT percentiles work.
A 2140 is a 97% percentile score for that year.
This man runs a college in my hometown.

Chris Rufo and the NY Post have a new and shocking Mamdani BOMBSHELL:
His SAT scores were AVERAGE among admitted students!!!!!!!
This is definitely the sort of thing you report when a candidate has skeletons in the closet.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.
