There's not a word of context about how, for instance, crime during the first 6 months of Mamdani's term is at an all-time low. This piece has a purpose; it is to bar Mamdani from calling Netanyahu a war criminal on the grounds that it encourages random crime. It is indefensible nonsense.

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle. That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year. Money in politics is sickening.
