Dear friends, On an almost daily basis, I’m shocked/appalled/horrified/disgusted with what Trump and his cronies are doing to our country and the world. Just when I think they can’t go any lower and things can’t get any worse, they do. The best way to rein them in is to help

Last night, I called out Zohran Mamdani for his dangerous anti-Israel rhetoric. I won’t stay silent when our communities are under attack — and I’ll always speak the truth, even when it’s not easy.

I want to be the mayor who ends the chaos. Not globalize the intifada!

New York City needs a mayor, not a social media influencer.

I’m running to cut crime in half, lower rents, and make our public schools excellent for kids in every zip code. So please, rank me #1. But here’s the reality: This is a two-person race between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani, and we cannot afford to let Mamdani win. He wants

One thing is clear: Zohran Mamdani has called to defund the police over and over.

At the debate last Thursday, Gov. Cuomo asked me if Zohran Mamdani's math added up. I replied, "Mamdani Math is fantasy," and explained why.

This is the email I just sent to 28 Democrats -- 12 Senators, 15 House members and one governor (Wes Moore): Dear [], You may be surprised to hear that I am NOT writing to ask you to persuade President Biden to withdraw from the race. Rather, I am asking you to tell him that

We made this video, “INCOMPETENT! - The Zohran Mamdani Musical,” which is 100% AI-produced, but the consequences of electing an unqualified mayor are 100% real.

On Sunday evening, @ZohranKMamdani also affirmed his insane plan to honor an arrest warrant for Israel's democratically-elected prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Mamdani cited the warrant issued by the ICC -- a body to which the United States is not even a party. Worse still,

I am running for mayor of New York City. I am the only change candidate in the Democratic primary – the only one with a business background, and the only one who isn’t a career politician. Check out my launch video:

A long-time NYC resident, hard-core centrist Democrat friend’s comments on Mamdani and what his win means (and doesn’t/shouldn’t mean) for the Democratic party: Adams won with 67% of the vote last time. Even widely unpopular de Blasio won re-election with 66% of the vote in

During last night's debate, Zohran denied saying he wants to defund and dismantle the NYPD. Well, he should check his own tweet. It’s still up.

All this misery. All for money. In the last budget, the City Council tried to make the NYPD reduce its overtime budget by half. They simply refused. There is no negotiating with an institution this wicked & corrupt. Defund it. Dismantle it. End the cycle of violence. (10/10)
