Bombs near Gracie Mansion: Another test for Mamdani

Over the weekend, a far-right provocateur organized an "anti-Islam" protest outside Gracie Mansion, the residence of New York City's first Muslim mayor. During the demonstration, two counter-protesters allegedly threw improvised explosive devices toward the anti-Muslim demonstrators. Two men are now facing federal charges, including providing material support to a terrorist organization. NY1's investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down how Mayor Zohran Mamdani handled the crisis. After that, the state Assembly and Senate released their big budget proposals this week. The "Off Topic" team explores what's included, what's left out and what it could mean for New Yorkers.
