This week, Claire Fahy catches us up on New York's hottest stories: the Park Slope Co-op's divisive vote to boycott Israeli products, sky-high Knicks playoff ticket prices and what Mayor Mamdani is doing about it, plus his plan to tackle the city's $80 billion public housing crisis with private sector help. Then Nicholas Fandos goes deep on Jack Schlossberg's chaotic congressional campaign. The JFK grandson is running for Jerry Nadler's seat, but staff turmoil, high turnover, and questions about his seriousness are raising eyebrows. Plus, Nick breaks down the most competitive House races in NYC, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, and what they reveal about the fight between progressives and the Democratic establishment.
