George Santos lived in Huntington, Long Island before becoming a member of Congress.

He lived in the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey after that.

Eric Adams raised $6.7 million for his 2025 campaign. He received 6215 votes.

So, $1,079 for every vote received. Not great!

It's going to be hard to beat Rudy. But who had the second-most unhinged reaction to last night's election?

I'll start:

This rabbi in the Hamptons is...

1. Gleefully promoting his fear-mongering about Mamdani.

2. Gleefully promoting his friendship with Gulf dictators like the Saudi royals.

Does this count as an in-kind donation to Zohran?

Eric Adams' reputation for corruption is so ingrained, he has to attach a disclaimer like this when he asks New Yorkers to donate money for Jamaica relief.

One thing you have to admire about New York's leading local news outlet is its consistency.

Oh, wait.

New Cuomo flyer on my doorstep. Is the implication that Mamdani is not a "real New Yorker"?

US-China trade is super important, obviously. But these trade deals keep getting announced and falling apart two minutes later. So why give this latest announcement the A1, top-of-the-site treatment?

Austin PD, too.

And San Diego PD did the same.

Let's check in on how the reanimated corpse of Vice is doing.

a) screaming "antisemitism" at everything robs the phrase of its meaning, opening the door to real hatred;

b) the internet is lowering the planet's collective IQ.

Zohran is speaking at my synagogue. These folks are outside.

A political deal for your tax dollars keeps the decrepit horse racing track in Yonkers going.

One way they keep up that support is to let the politicians race the horses once per year.

That annual event is tomorrow. But this year, they're keeping it quiet. Wonder why?

This is both shocking and a long time coming. As I reported for @nymag.com, the ADL made few friends in the Trump administration, despite its many, many attempts to please MAGA. nymag.com/intelligence...

The mayor's office is choosing this moment to take swipes at the elected officials who voted against casinos in their neighborhoods.

Yes, I know. "Print is dead," etc etc. For me, it's still a thrill.
