I’m one heck of a baker-just ask everyone at City Hall. If you don’t want the truth don’t ask me. 0pinions are my own. U/S/A



NEW: Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly formed “mass engagement” arm will shell out cushy, six-figure salaries — totaling nearly $2 million in taxpayer cash — to more than a dozen activist-minded hires, The Post has learned. nypost.com/2026/03/24/us-…

New: The placement of Muslim prayer rugs in front of the FDNY’s memorial plaque for firefighters killed on 9/11 has angered members who contend the Ramadan observance disrespected the fallen heroes. The FDNY denies any "intended disrespect." More here:👇 susanedelman2.substack.com/p/ramadan-at-t…


Mamdani claims he was defending free speech by hosting divisive Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion trib.al/T15uaJC


Also in Playbook: Vickie Paladino & Joann Ariola, two of the Council's five GOP members, are ditching the body's Common Sense Caucus because Ariola says their Staten Island colleagues, Frank Morano & David Carr, have turned it into an "old boys club." politico.com/newsletters/ne…



This is absolutely disgusting. There is an atmosphere of complete disrespect in this city, and I fear it's only going to get worse under the current administration. Our police officers should not have to deal with this, and it is no wonder why so many are leaving for greener pastures elsewhere. We need to bring back respect for the badge and get more good men and women on the job to keep our city safe, and I pray for all those holding the line for us each and every day




When private groups (i.e. BIDS, non-profits, volunteer coalitions, etc.) or @NYC_DOT partners fail to shovel the streets they close like #openstreets Berry St, should they be fined?



Along with the below statement from the Republican Delegation, I have been in direct contact with the @NYCSchools Chancellor’s Office and the @NYCMayor’s office to urge them to keep schools closed tomorrow or give a remote option to students.




Good chat this morning with Mayor Mamdani and FDNY Commissioner Bonsignore at Engine 168. Between 2017-2021, as the chair of the Fire Committee in the Council, I worked with her on dozens of FDNY issues and I’m glad to see her leading the department.
