Amy Curtis, purveyor of epic Twitter rants and awesome Townhall content: Mamdani's solution to city's budget shortfall is exactly what you'd expect.

Spoiler alert: when the corporations and richest New Yorkers leave the city, those working and middle-class New Yorkers will be forced to take up the slack. This is the most typical approach of Democrats and socialists ever: raise taxes on the wealthy, drive them out of your city/state, watch tax revenues fall, raise taxes on everyone.

Wash, rinse, repeat. This is exactly what they voted for. He could also control spending. As always, their solution is to raise taxes. Hopefully, this will teach voters not to elect Democratic Socialists, or Democrats in general. They run on empty promises of 'affordability' only to make things very, very expensive for all of you.

Stephen Moore, Fox News contributor and author: Dow 50,000: Was climate change the greatest financial scandal in history?

Donald Trump is wisely and rapidly dismantling the climate change industrial complex. Of all his pro-growth economic policies, there may be none with a higher longtime payoff than his recent order to repeal the mother of all costly regulations: the anti-fossil fuels 'endangerment rule' taxing carbon dioxide emissions. The cost of that regulation had been estimated to exceed $1 trillion over time.

We can't recapture the $16 trillion wasted on a false crisis. Sunk costs are, alas, sunk. But we can stop the madness of actually believing that politicians who can't even pay off the balance on their credit cards can somehow change the world's temperature.

Matt Vespa, Managing Editor at Townhall. com: Here's another lib female meltdown… and it's a doozy.

Of course, she’s a white leftist, and she’s all alone in that car, screaming at the top of her lungs. These are the folks we’re supposed to share a country with—I’ll take a hard pass on that one.

It’s always the same cast of characters: lonely, insane, lefty white women screaming into their phones, alone, in their living rooms, cars, and parking lots. That’s not activism; that’s mental illness. What would you think if you came upon these antics in public?

Dave Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: If Democrats do him dirty, Stephen A. Smith could be the next RFK Jr.

Without Smith there, a so-called centrist might get away with a weak non-answer on men in womens’ sports, for example. But can you imagine Stephen A, with his arsenal of insults and pained facial gestures just letting that slide?

When it comes to President Trump, the Democrats' whole identity is predicated upon his allegedly being a criminal authoritarian. But Smith doesn’t see it that way. He calls balls and strikes, and that kind of common sense makes hair-on-fire progressives look downright silly.
