    Knicks watch parties at MSG were canceled. Who's at fault?

    While New York is celebrating the Knicks' return to the finals for the first time in decades, controversy over canceled watch parties near Madison Square Garden has sparked a public feud.

    Could New York draw Republicans out of Congress?

    New York passed a constitutional amendment in 2014 that expressly prohibits drawing congressional maps "for the purpose of favoring or disfavoring incumbents or other particular candidates or political parties." More than a decade later, Democrats in Albany are switching course and throwing their hat in the nationwide redistricting battle. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli discuss what gerrymandering New York's map could mean for the balance of power in Congress. Meanwhile, NY1 hosted two congressional debates this week with less than three weeks to go until Primary Day. Incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman squared off with former City Comptroller Brad Lander. In the open race to succeed retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, state Assembly member Claire Valdez and City Council member Julie Won went head-to-head on the debate stage. The "Off Topic" team breaks down the biggest moments, strongest performances and the issues driving voters to the polls.

    We dug into Mamdani's new housing plan. Here's what we learned

    This week Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced his "Block by Block" housing initiative, a sweeping plan to build 200,000 new affordable, rent-stabilized units and preserve another 200,000 existing units over the next decade. How does the proposal differ from the housing plans rolled out by previous mayors? NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena break down the mayor's ambitious housing agenda. Then, sports take center stage as the New York Knicks chase their first championship in 53 years while the 2026 FIFA World Cup prepares to arrive in New Jersey. Meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul, with support from Brooklyn Assemblyman Robert Carroll, is lobbying for another Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.

    The fight to become the face of New York City in Washington

    Several closely contested congressional races are developing across New York before next month's primaries. District 7 in Brooklyn and Queens has emerged as a focal point following Nydia Velázquez's announcement that she will retire, while District 10 in Brooklyn and Manhattan features a prominent challenge by Brad Lander against Dan Goldman. Manhattan's NY-12 is also attracting significant attention with Jerry Nadler's impending retirement. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli analyze those races, as well as the primary challenges confronting Grace Meng and Adriano Espaillat, in addition to a pivotal swing district in the Hudson Valley.

    Did Mamdani actually solve New York City's budget crisis?

    This week, Mayor Mamdani unveiled his executive budget, turning a projected multibillion-dollar deficit into a balanced plan without major service cuts, a property tax hike, or tapping a rainy-day fund. The plan relies largely on help from Albany and a $2.3 billion pension plan restructuring that would push costs from 2032 to 2037, but it still requires approval from the state, retirement funds and unions. The city budget must also still be negotiated with the City Council. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza, and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down what's in, what's out, and how the mayor got it done. After that, the re-introduced Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, or COPA, would give some nonprofit groups the first chance to buy certain distressed multifamily buildings. Supporters, including Council member Sandy Nurse, say the proposal would help preserve affordability. Opponents say it may be illegal. The "Off Topic" team looks at the bill, which was vetoed by former Mayor Eric Adams and has now been revived despite fierce opposition from the real estate industry.

    Hochul says there's a budget deal; Albany says not so fast

    This morning, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced there was a "general agreement" between her office and Albany legislators on a $268 billion state budget. The spending plan includes auto insurance reforms, immigration protections, an energy rebate and more. However, state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie called the announcement "premature," saying there is no final deal in place. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Ayana Harry discuss the latest drama surrounding the negotiations. After that, a viral video posted several weeks ago by Mayor Zohran Mamdani targeting hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin continues to generate blowback. Griffin says he will add thousands of jobs in Miami instead of New York City amid the mayor's push to tax wealthy earners and corporations. The "Off Topic/On Politics" team breaks down the political fallout from Mamdani's social media strategy and examines whether he is taking the wrong approach with some of the city's wealthiest business leaders.
