Why can't the NYPD keep its notorious Community Response Teams from violating New Yorkers' constitutional rights? Perhaps because under Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the department keeps assigning cops with troubling records to the units. hellgatenyc.com/jessica-tisc...

Everything Mamdani is doing in NYC is wildly popular and even winning grudging approval from those who voted against him: Competence, compassion and delivery on things that make lives better—without compromising ideals. That “coastal” strategy would work in the Midwest and everywhere else, Elissa.

I have a theory: what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not in reverse.
That's why we need to hear from people in places like Michigan, Idaho, and Kansas City. Because I'm in the business of winning elections. And we're all seeing what happens when Democrats lose focus on the middle class.
