"We're happy the two most-important American leaders will meet face to face. But we're not sure why Donald "John" Trump needed to put our incoming mayor's middle name in quotes. Was it to emphasize the incoming mayor's Muslim heritage? (He is, in fact, Muslim.) Was it to suggest that everyone in New York is walking around using Mamdani's middle name. (We're not.)"
"The big story yesterday was the sentencing of Miriam Yarimi, the crazed killer of three whom we wrote about yesterday. You know that the criminal justice system is failing when the Post, which never met a car it didn't love, editorializes that a driver didn't get a long enough jail sentence. Gothamist, the Daily News, the Post, the Times and Brooklyn Paper covered the actual sentencing proceeding."
Mayor-elect Mamdani will meet the president on Friday. The president placed Mamdani's middle name in quotes, prompting questions about emphasis on his Muslim heritage and apparent disrespect. Miriam Yarimi, a killer of three, received sentencing that prompted criticism about lenient treatment of drivers in the criminal justice system, drawing attention from multiple local outlets. Jessica Tisch will remain NYPD commissioner under Mayor Mamdani, a decision that could produce tension between commissioner and mayor. Transit stories include high bus spending, calls for a driverless IBX, new escalators, and light rail expansion in New Jersey. A Queens driver received a 24-year sentence for killing a man with his car, and the driver accused in Alexandra Huggins' case was apprehended.
