You can fight harder, win more, and build a broader coalition when you approach politics as a team sport. When I joined the City Council, we teamed up with the Working Families Party and other allies to create the Progressive Caucus-to bring in the workers, tenants, and community leaders that did not previously have a home in the Council to partner in campaigns for dignity for all New Yorkers. And we did well. We banned stop-and-frisk and strengthened protections for tenants against eviction.
The Knicks took care of business first, defeating the Orlando Magic 132-120 after a stellar performance from guard Jalen Brunson. He dropped a season-high 40 points, plus eight assists.

Knicks coach Mike Brown said Brunson's performance is "what MVPs are supposed to do."

The event was much anticipated as blood sport, a showdown between a young communist and an old despot, to use their favored insults for each other. Instead, the two men put on such a show of good manners that at times I had to laugh out loud at the stagecraft. After a closed-door meeting, Trump and Mamdani summoned the press, and there was Uncle Donnie seated behind his desk in the Oval Office, beaming as his favorite nephew, Zohran, stood by his right shoulder
The Miami Heat have hit their first bit of adversity this season, coming off two straight losses while the team patiently awaits the returns from their All-Star duo of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. Although they are making progress, the Heat need to prepare for a little while longer without them. Their depth needs to prove that they can keep things afloat in the meantime, and they are in a perfect opportunity to bounce back for Monday night's matchup.
Jack Hu, an organizer of the anti-casino movement and lifelong resident of Flushing, alleged the committee only voted in support of the casino because members "took lobbying dollars from Metropolitan Park." He said the developer "manufactured consent" from the committee and made it appear as though the community is fully in support of the casino despite the overwhelming opposition demonstrated during the Nov. 16 protest.

Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that Mayor Eric Adams was planning to stack the Rent Guidelines Board with a bevy of his own appointees on his way out of office in an effort to block Zohran Mamdani's agenda to freeze rent for rent-stabilized tenants. Then, on Friday afternoon, the New York Post reported that one board appointee Adams was considering was Eleonora Srugo, the Douglas Elliman luxury real estate agent, Adams confidante, and star of the first (and only) season of the Netflix reality show "Selling the City."
"There is no way Curtis Sliwa can actually win. Curtis Sliwa can only make Zohran Mamdani win," Cuomo said, recalling President Trump's brutal prognosis of the Guardian Angels founder's chances in the Nov. 4 election. "Don't believe me. Believe President Trump if you're a Republican" Cuomo told voters at the Ocean View Cafe, a Ukrainian restaurant on Brighton Beach Avenue. "President Trump said Curtis Sliwa is not ready for prime time."
"He has versatility, toughness on both ends of the floor," Brown said. "He can [make plays] for himself and others. Gets us organized. "He had a really good game defensively [Friday] night for the most part, and then during the first stretch, he was really good offensively. In the second half, he wasn't as good. But he's a young guy and he's going to learn and grow from any minutes that he gets."
