NYCFC6-4-6A knife and a screwdriver on the Upper West Side turned a mayor's Israel rhetoric into a citywide reckoning.
Police charged Raul Morales, 51, with hate crimes and attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed an Asian man near Central Park, then a Jewish man wearing a kippah near a synagogue four blocks away, shouting "Allahu Akbar" both times [12][17]. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said mental illness may have been a factor [19]. A day later, Jewish leaders gathered outside a synagogue to demand Mayor Mamdani soften his rhetoric toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he'd called a "war criminal" in a video that drew 90 million views [18][9].
“Mayor Mamdani, stop fanning the flames of hatred and division. The consequences are not abstract.”
“They are criticisms of him as a political leader, not him of a specific faith, religion or background.”
“All he's getting back from people is don't criticize Israel... there's no inconsistency between those positions.”

Politics | Spectrum News NY1A tax that died in Albany twice is now landing in 13,500 mailboxes.
The city started mailing notices this week telling owners of non-primary homes worth $5 million or more that they may owe the new pied-à-terre tax [25][35]. Comptroller Mark Levine's office now projects the surcharge will bring in $1 billion a year, double Gov. Hochul's original $500 million estimate when she proposed it in April to help close the city's budget gap [35]. Owners get their exact bill by Aug. 30 and 30 days to appeal [25].
“On Tax Day earlier this year, I promised that we would tax the rich, and with our new pied-à-terre tax, that is exactly what we have done.”
“We may see more sales activity if folks don't want to hold on to their units and pay the tax... they may be willing to pay less for the unit.”
6sqftPolitics | Spectrum News NY1Mamdani's $70 million answer to grocery prices arrives without a butcher, a hot bar, or a fourth site.
Mamdani's Economic Development Corporation admitted this week that the five city-owned grocery stores, budgeted at $70 million, likely won't have butchers or hot food counters, and only some items will be discounted [44]. Only two of five promised sites are finalized, in Hunts Point and East Harlem's La Marqueta, with the first store not opening until 2027 [44]. The same week, Mamdani installed longtime government veteran Anthony Shorris as EDC's president and former FTC chair Lina Khan as board chair [45].
“It may not have all the items, but it's going to be like a typical grocery store.”
“If one publicly owned grocery store that brings prices down in the neighborhood is enough to put someone out of business, maybe they shouldn't have been in that business in the first place.”
More than 125,000 New Yorkers entered a raffle for the same 30-pound blue-and-orange trash cans the Sanitation Department put out during the Knicks' championship run, and only five got to take one home. Daniel LeVert rode the Q and J trains back to Bed-Stuy with his covered in trash bags so nobody would try to steal it, comparing the moment to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Mia Manantan, who moved to the city right before the Knicks' 1999 run, said watching a new generation lose its mind over a trash can "recreated that energy... your fandom is shaped by the people around you" [71].
