Thanks for calling out the dishonesty of the NYP—a scourge in any era! Your sharp eyes and good ear for dissonance is one reason yours is an irreplaceable report, Judd.

Honestly, these rich people are so weak and thin-skinned. What a bunch of cry-babies. Shut up and pay up.

I know, right? Such a big lot of crybabies who wouldn't go near the Post if it wasn't about them or, even better, their enemies being smeared on Page Six.

I laughed when I read the first paragraph because I access that same kind of database every year in Maryland to pay our property taxes. It’s always been easy to access this information. Leave it to the super wealthy and right wing to ascribe ill intent — project much?

This is reminiscent of the treatment Zohran got when he and his office recommended that New Yorkers set their air conditioner to a certain temperature to help avoid overloading the power grid. It was in line with the city's precedent and something Republican administrations at the state and federal level advised. Pure fearmongering.

The NY Post has been known for its hate filled rhetoric, mostly half-lies and distorted truths against the so-called left and now socialists for decades. I was a teacher in NYC for years and there were times when the Post went after teachers as pedophiles, lazy, overpaid and (gasp) workfree during the summers. This was usually when the teacher's contract was up and we were negotiating with a Republican mayor. Demonize those money grabbers! Having been the target of the Post I can tell you, their influence is great because while they scream racist headlines, people gotta pick up the Post for the sports. It's rather an insidious thing they have created. "They", of course, being the reptile, Murdoch.

It’s more reasonable to say that in publishing these hair on fire false accusations that they are committing terrorism against Mamdani, in effect “doxxing” HIM, urging anyone unstable enough to take them seriously to do something extreme.

Prove me wrong. This sort of blatant rabble rousing should be actionable.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) posted on X, “Comrade Mamdani doxxed thousands of New York City homeowners. This is the communist intimidation playbook in action.”

Pay attention Ted to Texas… your governor, and that other Republican candidate for the senate… doxx this!

Fact— Mamdani did not “doxx” any New York City residents. The same information has been public — and searchable online — for decades.

But that’s not NYPost headline news 📰… ipso Post faux facto! And their subscribers are happy! Highly lucrative business model… been doing it for a long time.

Everyone ❤️ your comments too!

Lying bastards poisoning the well of public discourse with stochastic terrorism against a Muslim Mayor and progressive taxation. What would the Felon getting Americans murdered in the streets do? Meanwhile, the facts in this case are actually on point for defamatory malice.

So the wealthy think they are being victimized . . .

Rupert Murdoch and his minions at FOX “Not-Really-News” the NY “Joke” and the Wall Street “Urinal” have been responsible for the demonizing of the Democratic Party and the election of Republican con-artists with their drip, drip, drip of half-truths, misinformation and outright lies and calling it “news.” They have completely turned the 1st Amendment upside down and the result is a Supreme Court that has shredded the Constitution and an idiot in the White House.

Why are they not fighting back? I’m so glad you but out the truth!!! I wish our democratic leaders would do the same!

I understand that real estate ownership is available via public records. I am unclear whether the list of the 960,000 people to be taxed was pulled from the list and published. It is one thing for one to be able to do a search of public records and quite another for a list of those properties to be publicly and separately made easily accessible.

If the tax is legitimate, tax them. But with the simmering tension in NYC and across our country, why publish a list at the announcement of the tax (if this is what happened). The info is still publicly available but publishing it with the announcement (again, if this is what happened) seems like political theater

One wonders where the impetus for the false doxxing campaign lies.

Thank you for setting the record straight Judd. Good for Mayor Mamdani. All politicians should be like him!
