Zohran Mamdani’s “apology tour” to quell the business community’s outrage over his bizarre social media posting targeting fellow business leader Ken Griffin didn’t include much apologizing, The Post has learned. In fact, Griffin’s name and Mamdani’s “creepy” stunt — where he stood outside the Citadel chief’s penthouse to brag about taxing the rich — never came up in the confabs Monday with two of the biggest CEOs on Mamdani’s agenda, Jamie Dimon, the chief of mega bank JP Morgan and David Solomon, the CEO of investment banking giant Goldman Sachs. Don’t blame our Marxist mayor for ignoring the obvious —

The Democratic left’s favorite caricature of President Trump describes him as recklessly impulsive, wildly inconsistent and addicted to shooting from the hip. The image is powerful boob bait for the uninformed, but it is demonstrably false when it comes to matters of great importance. ­Exhibit A is Trump’s consistent and decade-long patient policies toward Iran. For years he has been saying the mullahs would never be allowed to get nuclear weapons on his watch. It was a major theme of his first campaign and first term. He proved he was serious in 2018 when he withdrew the United States from President Barack Obama’s sketchy pact,

A 28-year-old New Yorker ditched the five boroughs for a booming Texas suburb — and says he’s “never” moving back as a flood of workers and companies head south in search of cheaper living and better opportunities. Akash Khanna, a commercial real estate agent, relocated to Frisco, Texas shortly after the pandemic — a move he made after years of bouncing between Jersey City, Wall Street, Brooklyn and Queens. “I never think about moving back there, ever,” Khanna said, describing New York as a “high-paced” metropolis that no longer fit his long-term goals.

Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson spoke at the American Law Institute and warned that the Supreme Court risks looking political after its handling of the Louisiana redistricting case under the Voting Rights Act. KBJ argued the court must guard its public image, especially in election cases, because, as the AP reported, Americans expect judges to stand apart from partisan fights. That's a fair-sounding statement; nobody wants the highest court in America to look like a cable news panel wearing matching robes. Unfortunately, despite a fair-sounding message, the problem comes from the messenger. Jackson has become the court's loudest progressive voice, and subtlety doesn't appear to be her preferred instrument.

Given the enormity of the problem, the authors of the report had to limit their focus to "seven EU countries where no-go zones are most reported: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, and the Netherlands." No-go zones, according to the report, are especially characterized by high rates of crime, violence and terrorist recruitment. "This institutional reluctance, driven by political correctness, allowed gangs to operate with impunity in NGZs, where cultural segregation and weak policing created fertile ground for such crimes, effectively rendering the state an accomplice through its failure to protect victims." – From "Immigration, Islamisation, and the Rise of Parallel Societies," a report by New Direction – Foundation for European Conservatism.

Jeff Bezos blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani for casting billionaire Ken Griffin as a “villian” in a bizarre video Hizzoner filmed outside his Manhattan apartment announcing a new pied-à-terre tax last month. The Amazon honcho ripped the 34-year-old democratic socialist mayor for demonizing Griffin and filming outside the Citadel head’s home in the viral video. “Ken Griffin isn’t a villain,” Bezos told CNBC during a Wednesday sit-down. “He hasn’t hurt anybody. He’s not hurting New York. In fact, quite the opposite. And so that piece of it isn’t right. And there was no reason to do that.” The billionaire, however,

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was among the four Republican Senators who voted in favor of moving forward with a resolution that would direct President Donald Trump to pull the U.S. military out of the conflict with Iran. Cassidy’s vote in favor of moving forward with the Iran War Powers Resolution comes days after he lost his reelection bid to Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA), and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming. The Senate voted 50-47 to move the War Powers Resolution out from the Senate’s Foreign Relation Committee, with Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Cassidy voting with the Democrats, CBS News reported.

Russian President Vladimir Putin landed in Beijing on Tuesday for a meeting with dictator Xi Jinping in a clear demonstration by both sides that their “no-limits partnership” remains intact after President Donald Trump’s trip to Beijing just a few days earlier. Putin enjoyed a nearly identical reception to Trump’s as he disembarked from his plane, right down to the student cheerleading squad waving flags and chanting welcome messages, which helped to thematically position Putin’s visit as a response to Trump’sThe similarity between the two receptions also helped China polish its image as the go-to destination for global leaders.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy turned the tables on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) after she tried to ambush him over his family’s America250 road trip during a tense Senate hearing Tuesday.Duffy took a cross-country trip with his family, celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary. The journey was filmed for an upcoming reality TV-style series. It should be noted that "The Great American Road Trip" involved no taxpayer dollars for the Duffy family and was paid for by a nonprofit. Still, some Democrats didn't like the idea. Because if there's anything they hate, it's a show celebrating America. “It doesn’t smell right,” Gillibrand confronted, perhaps a more appropriate description of her congressional career.

Enrollment in the Affordable Care Act marketplace is projected to fall by nearly 5 million people this year as rising premiums and higher deductibles force many Americans to reconsider whether they can still afford health insurance coverage, according to a new analysis from healthcare nonprofit KFF. The report estimates ACA enrollment could decline from 22.3 million participants in 2025 to roughly 17.5 million this year, representing a drop of more than 20 percent. At the same time, Americans who remain enrolled are paying substantially more out of pocket. According to the analysis, average deductibles have climbed by more than $1,000, while monthly premium payments have increased by an average of $65.

The opponents on this road trip aren’t particularly daunting, giving the Mets a wide opening to continue their recent surge. Monday night they avoided a letdown following the euphoria of winning the Subway Series, attacking throughout against the Nationals. ‘The Mets won 16-7 in 12 innings for a sixth victory in seven games. The Mets scored 10 runs in the final inning, piling on against Jorbit Vivas, a position player, after they had built a comfortable cushion. Carson Benge’s RBI single in the 12th inning brought in the go-ahead run after Hayden Senger’s sacrifice bunt had advanced the automatic runner. Vidal Bruján’s suicide squeeze brought in Benge for an insurance run.

A total of five people including two teenaged gunmen are dead after an active shooter situation at a San Diego mosque drew a massive police presence, police sources told The Post Monday. One of the victims was a mosque security guard who “played a pivotal role in assisting, this could have been worse,” said a San Diego police officer at the press conference. The suspects, believed to be aged 17 and 19, died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said during a press conference. They fled in a white BMW and were found dead inside the vehicle. Two other adults were killed at the mosque by the gunmen, police said.
