Tracy Rosenthal, the tenant strategist Mamdani's office cast as a housing hero, grew up in a $1.7 million apartment, attended the Grammys with her studio-owner father, and has withheld at least $108,000 in rent since 2021.
Mamdani
Turns out Mamdani's wealth tax applies to any home over a million -- in a city where the average home costs $823,251. Taxing billionaires comes at ya fast
DSA
The DSA platform wants to abolish the Senate. Problem: Article V of the Constitution says equal Senate representation is the one thing you can't amend away. Their own plan requires demolishing the system, not reforming it. It was never hidden. They posted it with cartoons.
AOC
The Democratic Socialists of America spent Sunday fighting over how to endorse a 2028 candidate. What the meeting actually revealed is who they believe is entitled to vote at all.
Jewish Identity
Liel Leibovitz says America's covenant always renews itself, and that history is on our side. It is. But covenants are not self-executing. Someone still has to do the unglamorous work of naming who is dismantling the machinery while everyone else waits for providence.

2026 Primaries
They wrote the script in Moscow sixty years ago. A coffee shop, a mayor, a synagogue door: the same old machine, running again. The answer isn't a tantrum. It's a ledger. Document everything, build the capacity, and never let anyone make Jewish citizenship conditional again.
Rent Control
A New York City landlord weighs in on how the annual rent-setting process stopped being about rent. Thursday's decision on rent-stabilized apartments in New York City will prove that what is supposed to be a deliberative, analytical process has been hijacked by Mamdani allies. We are
Mamdani
Three Mamdani-backed candidates just swept their primaries. The last two years gave us a body count of attacks on Jews carried out by men who never met him but spoke his movement's language. Then the DSA wrote down, on paper, exactly what comes next.
2026 Primaries
Two DSA members are headed to Congress from New York. A third candidate just rebranded himself in their image. This was not a primary result. It was a transfer of ownership.
