Kathy Hochul’s pledge to put cops on every overnight train — her third enforcement surge in three years — doesn’t deal with the system’s real problems.

On broad policy and plans for NYC, Mayor Eric Adams is often right. It’s just that he consistently bumbles the execution.

Daniel Penny’s prosecution is causing reasonable people to think twice before helping a fellow straphanger, making the subways even more dangerous — despite Hochul’s absurd rhetoric.

A movie about the 1972 massacre of Israeli Olympians has a refreshingly simple — but not simplistic — take: Kidnapping and murdering civilians is bad, and there is no context in which to justify it…

The sidewalk murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Thompson’s in the heart of Midtown punctuates nearly five years of rising crime and disorder in New York City.

The $6.2 price tag for that banana “art” shows how a price can have no relation to value. Justin Sun’s purchase of it is more proof that our we are (collectively) awash in cash.

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s botch of the toll to drive into core Manhattan is so epic, you must wonder: Is she this bad at politics, or is she doing it on purpose?

When migrants swamped NYC in 2023, voters began to believe that Democrats are incapable of setting and executing responsible immigration policy.

Lawyers parse potential jurors by race, age and gender. But in the Daniel Penny trial, the real divide in the jury pool is transit: who takes the subway every day, and who doesn’t.

We’ve compressed a generation’s worth of killing into four years — and with nine murders on the subway this year, this danger is not abating.

Former President Donald Trump is gaining in swing-state polls — and you can bet one group is secretly pleased: New York’s elected officials. The city’s Democrats use big, bad Trump as a c…

Mayor Eric Adams is trying to ensure that one big feature of his mayoralty stays in office, even if he doesn’t: billions of dollars in taxpayer money to put migrants up in hotels.

Biden strong-armed the ports into a bad deal that in the long run will push up prices — and harm organized labor.

Gotham needs a strong governor to fill the power vacuum Hizzoner’s scandals have created — and Hochul has powers she can wield to the city’s benefit.

Unless and until Gov. Hochul becomes a firmer leader, the MTA’s massive infrastructure plan will remain unfunded — a lot of ideas, and no way to pay for them.

This administration doesn’t even appear to grasp the seriousness of its predicament as Eric Adams slides into irrelevance.

Federal raids at the homes of the mayor’s three top public-safety officials imperils Adams’ already-fragile claim to mayoral success.

Higher “prices” in the form of this new tax aren’t for everyone, of course: Only the private sector must pay.

In Britain, prosecutors and judges are applying the law so that the illegal actions of demonstrators of all political stripes have real consequences.
