Mamdani's property tax dubbed 'dangerous' and 'a little weird' by comedians after list was published
Comedians Dana Carvey and David Spade mocked the idea of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax Sunday after the city published a searchable database of property owners.
"Well, Mamdani's going after billionaires in New York," Carvey mentioned on his "Fly on the Wall" podcast. "If you have a second home in New York, he wants you to pay more tax."
"Yeah. I think it was a bit of a stumble to post online all the people that have second homes and their addresses because, you know, you can't say after he says you should protest in the streets and then say that. I would be worried if I was a guy with that," Spade said.
LIBERAL PODCASTER SAYS HE WAS 'DOXXED' BY MAMDANI'S 'WANTED POSTER' OF PROPERTY OWNERS
"It was a little weird, but yeah," Carvey said.
The two continued to discuss Mamdani after Carvey made a mocking impression of the mayor threatening to drop a "tax bomb."
"He really bombed it. But it was a lot of famous people. It said their houses, and I was like, 'ohhh,'" Spade said, with Carvey agreeing it was "dangerous."
"I don't know. They got kids. I don't know about that," Spade added.
"Just tax them," Carvey remarked.
The pied-à-terre tax, endorsed by Mamdani and passed by the New York State Legislature in May, imposes an annual surcharge on certain high-value New York City homes worth more than $5 million that are not the owner's primary residence.
Months later, on July 24, New York City published a list of more than 900,000 properties in a "supplemental market value roll" without explaining that the vast majority of them would not be getting hit with the pied-à-terre tax.
When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, a city official clarified that this was not a pied-à-terre list but a state-mandated roll to be used by the Department of Finance (DOF) to examine which properties will be subjected to the property surcharge.
Since then, the DOF has clarified that it has sent surcharge letters to approximately 17,000 homeowners who could be subjected to the tax. Mamdani has said that citizens have until Sept. 18 to qualify for an exemption if they believe their properties do not apply to this tax.
Partnership for New York City CEO Steven Fulop previously lamented the release of the roll, pointing out that while the list was public information, it has been aggregated and framed in a way that targeted citizens.
"I don't know if it's an invitation to physical violence. … I would say that the way that it was framed was shaming people for being successful, which is a fundamental problem, and I do think highlighting that the majority of those residences are vacant for the majority of the year and giving their address is not productive from a safety standpoint," he told "America Reports" Thursday.
Fulop, a fellow Democrat, also added, "I think we started with the constructive outlook trying to find places to work together. It's becoming more and more difficult because [Mamdani] is focused on performative stuff as opposed to substantive policies that work with the business communities. I mean we're still trying, but it’s been difficult."
Indiana takes full advantage of NCAA courtroom chaos with stunning roster move amid eligibility fight
The defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers are making moves in the midst of an ongoing court battle between the NCAA and plaintiffs involved in a court case that could have major ramifications on the upcoming season.
Right now, athletes that started their college careers in 2022 are trying to decipher a District Court judge's ruling in Colorado that saw plaintiffs in the case being granted a preliminary injunction that grants players an additional season of eligibility.
On Tuesday, it was the Hoosiers that decided to take advantage of the current predicament that has colleges across the country scrambling to figure out if the move would be beneficial to their roster, by bringing back star defensive lineman Stephen Daley.
In the meantime, while the NCAA appeals the ruling from Judge Sweeney, schools like Indiana are either adding players to their roster that competed last season, or inquiring who they could possibly bring back to the team for the upcoming season.
After being injured following the Big Ten championship game last year, landing awkwardly on his leg while celebrating the win over Ohio State, Stephen Daley was not healthy enough for the 2026 NFL Draft after leading the conference and team with 19 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
So, being that he had already played four seasons without taking a redshirt, the former transfer decided to get medically cleared by the Indiana medical staff and use the recent ruling in a Colorado district court to return for one more season.
Now, the problem for college programs across the country is that the NCAA is currently appealing the case, with Chief Legal Officer Scott Bearby trying to provide guidance to member schools on a daily basis regarding what is actually allowed right now, compared to what could happen if the organization were to win a "stay" on appeal.
"If the judge denies our motion for a stay, the NCAA will immediately ask the Tenth Circuit to enter a stay pending approval, including a request of the Tenth Circuit for what is know as an "administrative stay", which is an order pausing the injunction temporarily while the court decides whether to pause it for the duration of our appeal.
"If any of our stay motions are granted, we will return to the status quo before Wisne, with the age-based eligibility rules being implemented as the membership intended."
The NCAA is essentially saying that if a school were to add a player to its roster during this period where it is legally allowed, that athlete would then be ruled ineligible if the court rules in their favor on appeal.
One of the most complicated times in college athletics history is due in large part to players across the country rightfully suing the NCAA over its implementation of the new "Five and Five" rule which gives athletes five years to play five seasons.
TED CRUZ URGES SENATE TO STAY IN WASHINGTON UNTIL PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT PASSES THIS WEEK
The arguments made in court centered on the idea that players who completed their fourth year of eligibility and would have been ineligible under the previous rule should have been grandfathered in because of how the entire process unfolded this summer.
Lawyers are going at the NCAA in a court of law, arguing that if the new five-and-five rule was being implemented, then athletes who exhausted their clock this past season under the old rule should be granted the same rights that players under the new guidelines would be entitled to.
So, when Judge Charlotte Sweeney of the U.S. District Court of Colorado granted a preliminary injunction that was class-wide and ordered the NCAA to create a blanket waiver that granted all athletes an additional year of eligibility for the upcoming year if they were part of the 2022 class, this created an avenue for schools to legally take advantage of.
On Tuesday, when asked how his football staff was determining whether they would potentially add players from the 2025 roster that technically had eligibility left because of the court ruling, Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel noted the school was still inquiring.
"Yeah, we're in exploration. Some of the details and what it's all going to look like still is being worked through, but looking at those things."
TENNESSEE COACH UNLOADS ON NCAA'S 'BULLS--T' AFTER STAR LINEBACKER SUSPENDED FOR OUTDATED RULE
But across the sport, football staffs have been working the phones to gauge whether it's worth the risk to bring back a player while not knowing if this will actually stick for the duration of this upcoming season.
Multiple staffers have indicated to OutKick-Fox News that this question is currently being discussed among compliance departments across college campuses. Also, what does a school do about roster spots.
As you can tell, this has been a pretty chaotic stretch, most notably in the basketball world, as more lawsuits continued to be filed at the state level. A plethora of players have been granted eligibility thanks to a court ruling, with more to come.
While conferences, along with the NCAA, are hoping that the "Protect College Sports Act" can make it through the Senate and onto the House floor, the confusion around the athletics world has only risen.
Trump urges Senate to pass bill making daylight saving time permanent after overwhelming House vote
President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged the Senate to quickly pass legislation making daylight saving time permanent, arguing that ending the twice-yearly clock changes would improve public safety, boost the economy and benefit Americans' health.
Trump's push comes after the House of Representatives voted 308-117 to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to observe daylight saving time year-round.
Although the bill received bipartisan support in the House, it has yet to be taken up by the Senate, where its prospects remain uncertain amid skepticism from lawmakers in both parties.
"For many years, the vast Majority of Americans have asked to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, but no Administration has been able to get it done, until now," Trump posted on Truth Social.
HOUSE PASSES DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME REFORM AS TRUMP SIGNALS SUPPORT FOR ENDING CLOCK CHANGE
"People are sick and tired of having to change their clocks twice a year," he continued. "It is foolish, inconvenient and, in some cases, very costly."
Support for the legislation has generally come from lawmakers representing coastal states, while opposition has been concentrated among lawmakers from the Midwest and agriculture-heavy states.
Trump argued that making daylight saving time permanent would strengthen the economy and provide Americans with an extra hour of evening daylight.
"For Cities and States with Watchtowers, and hard to reach places, it costs Millions of Dollars," he said.
TRUMP KEEPS CALLING THUNE DESPITE PUBLIC FIGHT OVER SAVE AMERICA ACT
Trump also argued that ending the twice-yearly clock changes would improve public health and reduce crime.
"A recent case was made that it is also bad for your health in the anxiety it creates," he wrote.
"Leading Medical, Crime, and Economic Studies have shown that ceasing the biannual time change, giving us one extra hour of natural sunlight in the evenings, will help Decrease Robbery and Murder Rates, Reduce Car Accidents (especially those involving Pedestrians!), Lower Risk for Cardiac Issues, Stroke, and Seasonal Depression, Make It Safer for Children to Walk Home from School, Increase Time with your Family, Strongly Support Extracurricular Activities, Boost the Sports, Fitness, Tourism, Retail, and Restaurant Industries (and more!), and Save Money on Energy Bills, because everyone will be enjoying an EXTRA HOUR OF DAYLIGHT.
MAN ARRESTED AT TRUMP GOLF COURSE AHEAD OF PRESIDENT’S VISIT ALLEGEDLY HAD WEAPONS CACHE
"In other words, leave it as it is now, and never change again," Trump continued. "This is an issue that Republicans, Democrats, and Independents can unite behind. I am asking Republican Senators to release their holds, and allow the hotline to clear on the Republican side.
"LET'S PASS THE SUNSHINE PROTECTION ACT, ASAP."
Trump has long called for ending the twice-yearly clock changes, and the White House urged lawmakers to support the Sunshine Protection Act in an internal memo sent to Capitol Hill last month, calling it a "popular, common-sense reform."
While nearly every state sets clocks ahead one hour in March before turning them back one hour in November, many have already passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent if Congress authorizes the change.
Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time.
An AP-NORC survey released in December found that only 12% of Americans support the current system of changing clocks twice a year. Nearly half opposed the practice, while 40% had no opinion.

Dems select their candidate to face longtime GOP lawmaker who balked at Virginia redistricting
Shannon Taylor won the Democratic primary Tuesday in Virginia's 1st Congressional District.
The victory sets up a Nov. 3 showdown between the Democrat nominee and longtime Republican Rep. Rob Wittman, who has been in Congress since 2007.
Although Republicans have long held the seat, Democrats hope that shifting suburban voting patterns around the blue enclave of Richmond will make the district more competitive for them.
2026 MIDTERMS: PRIMARIES, KEY RACES AND ELECTION RESULTS
Democrats in Virginia sought to redraw the congressional map this year. If adopted, Virginia's 1st Congressional District, and many others, would be significantly more favorable to Democrats. The map was ultimately struck down and is not being used in this year’s election, relieving pressure of Wittman’s seat being at risk.
The district remains "lean Republican," according to the Cook Political Report.
The Democratic primary to face Wittman in the fall featured a crowded seven-candidate field.
The candidates included Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor, former Justice Department official Salaam Bhatti, Army veteran Jason Knapp, attorney Mel Tull, environmental advocate Tim Cywinski, attorney Ericka Kopp and educator Elizabeth Beggs.

Democrats are targeting the district as part of their broader effort to flip control of the House, though the district spans Richmond's outer suburbs, Williamsburg and Virginia's Chesapeake Bay region and has traditionally favored Republicans.
Wittman has represented the district since 2007 and is seeking another term.
Virginia's congressional primaries were held in August rather than the state's traditional June schedule after litigation over new congressional maps delayed the nomination process.
Rogue parrot attacks players during Brazilian U-15 soccer game, then comes back and does it again
With the World Cup behind us, the sport of soccer is going to need to find some new, innovative ways to put the game in front of people's eyeballs.
Well, a U-15 game down in Brazil — which, from what I hear, is a nation quite big on soccer — may have found the solution.
Two words: parrot attacks.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
According to The Sun, two clubs — Flamengo and Ceará — were in the midst of a Brazil Under-15 Cup match in Rio de Janeiro. That's when something not commonly seen in a children's soccer game happened.
It got interesting.
As Flamengo moved the ball to a defender, a very large parrot was suddenly more on top of him than any Ceará player (which means it's not going to be fun when the coach is going over video of this match).
That's hilarious and kind of terrifying at the same time.
That's one of those moments where I can absolutely believe the notion that all the dinosaurs turned into birds.

If pterodactyls were still cruising around the Earth, they would absolutely be dive-bombing 13- and 14-year-olds' soccer games, and it would look something like that.
You'd think a bird that lives in Brazil would be used to soccer games, seeing as they put soccer players on the money down there, but this one must've had its nest bulldozed to make way for a pitch or something, because it hates the beautiful game.
After terrorizing that one kid, the bird reportedly went after a few other teenage footballers to the point that the referee had to put the match on hold.
But once play resumed, the bird returned and again brought the game to a halt.
Against all odds, Flamengo overcame the multiple avian invasions to win the match 1-0.
First polls close as socialist insurgents eye Midwest gains in Dem civil war
The polls are now closed in Kansas, Missouri, and most of Michigan, three of the five states from coast-to-coast holding primary elections on Tuesday.
The biggest spotlight is on Michigan, where the high-stakes fight between the left-wing and the center-left establishment for the future of the Democratic Party is front-and-center.
Boosted by a string of victories this spring in mostly blue congressional districts across the country, the Democrats' ideological war moves to the Great Lakes battleground state, where progressive victories could reshape the party and endanger must-hold seats in the midterm elections.
Also at stake as Michigan, Kansas, Missouri join Virginia and Washington State in holding mid-summer primaries is President Donald Trump's immense clout over the GOP and the power of his endorsements in Republican nominating contests.
But taking top billing is Michigan's divisive and expensive Democratic Senate primary, which is seen as the biggest stage to date in the fierce fight for the future of the Democratic Party.
THE MIDTERM SENATE RACES THAT COULD FLIP THE BALANCE OF POWER IN CONGRESS
"This is ground zero in the battle for the future of the Democratic Party, pitting status quo corporate Democrats against shake up the system economic fighters, and we’ll see who wins," Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), a leading group on the left, told Fox News Digital.
The primary face-off pits Abdul El-Sayed, a former Wayne County Health Department director, against Rep. Haley Stevens, a more moderate candidate backed by the establishment. The race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, who is backing Stevens, is a must-hold for the Democrats and one of roughly a dozen Senate races from coast to coast that will determine if Republicans hold onto their slim Senate majority.
Matt Bennett, one of the leaders at the Third Way, a leading center-left Democratic organization, told Fox News Digital the Michigan showdown is "the first time the left is competing for a swing seat" and warned, "the significance is it could really put this seat in jeopardy."
El-Sayed, who, if elected, would make history as the nation's first Muslim senator, is an epidemiologist who unsuccessfully ran for governor as an insurgent candidate in 2018. He has made support for "Medicare-for-all" a major component of his campaign.
The far-left candidate has also called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and is a vocal critic of Israel amid its war with Hamas — even characterizing Israel's actions in Gaza as "genocide" against Palestinians.
MIKE ROGERS ARGUES ABDUL EL-SAYED IS 'A SPECIAL SAUCE OF CRAZY'
And El-Sayed, who is backed by top far-left leaders and teamed with progressive champions Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on the Michigan campaign trail two weeks ago, and who served as a top surrogate on Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign, has vowed not to accept PAC donations.
Stevens, who flipped a GOP-held district in her 2018 election to Congress, is backed by top national and Michigan Democrats, including Peters, term-limited Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and longtime Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Schumer and the party establishment view Stevens as more electable than El-Sayed, who has sparked controversy with his past comments.
"I am the best Democrat to go forward. I am the only person in this race who has won tough primaries multiple times. You know, running with the Michigan grit, resilience and determination," Stevens told Fox News Digital on Sunday, as she teamed up with Peters on the campaign trail.
DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB
Over $80 million has been spent on the primary showdown, making it the most expensive Democratic Senate nomination race in history. Much of the money has been shelled out by outside groups in support of Stevens and against El-Sayed. The biggest spending comes from United Democracy Project, a political action committee aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
El-Sayed, who has repeatedly attacked Stevens over the massive infusion of AIPAC-linked money, told reporters on Sunday, "If you need $70 million to come in here and help get you elected, then the question has to be, are you actually electable on your own terms."
The winner will face off in the midterms against former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, who is on a glidepath to win the GOP Senate nomination.
The Trump-backed Rogers, who lost the 2024 Senate election in Michigan by a razor-thin margin, said in a Fox News Digital interview that he doesn't care whom he faces off with in November.
"It doesn't matter to us. We've looked at both candidates. We feel confident we're going to beat either one of those candidates that come out of that race," Rogers highlighted.
And Rogers claimed, "They are very radical, and they are way too extreme for Michigan. I mean, Abdul, he has his own special sauce of crazy."

But Democrats are confident they can regroup after a combustible primary.
"Let's make sure that anyone but Mike Rogers gets to the United States Senate," Stevens told reporters on Sunday. "After the primary, you're going to see a united Democratic Party. You are going to see us going full force, full fledged ahead."
And El-Sayed told Fox News Digital, "I think we all understand the risk of Donald Trump. We all understand the risk of Mike Rogers."
The left-wing versus establishment battle is also playing out in Michigan's 7th Congressional District, a key Republican-controlled swing seat race that's among roughly two-dozen that will impact whether the GOP holds onto its fragile House majority.
William Lawrence, a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, which advocates for political action to tackle climate change, is on the rise against two more moderate Democrats. Lawrence is backed by Sanders and El-Sayed, as well as some top progressive groups. The primary winner will face GOP Rep. Tom Barrett in the general election.
The party civil war is also on display in Michigan's deep blue 13th Congressional District.
MEET THE FAR LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE 2026 MIDTERMS
Rep. Shri Thanedar, who is supported by top House Democratic leaders, is being challenged by state Rep. Donovan McKinney, who is backed by Sanders, El-Sayed, and "Squad" members Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Summer Lee of Pennsylvania.
And the ideological warfare is also front-and-center in Missouri, in the state's St. Louis-based and heavily Democratic 1st Congressional District.
Rep. Wesley Bell is facing off in a rematch against former Rep. Cori Bush, a Squad member who Bell ousted in the 2024 primary.
Trump's endorsements are getting tested in two statewide showdowns on Tuesday, in Michigan and Kansas.
The president is backing Rep. John James in Michigan's GOP gubernatorial primary. James, a West Point graduate and one-time Republican rising star, is facing off against multi-millionaire businessman Perry Johnson, a former gubernatorial and presidential candidate.
The winner will take on likely Democratic nominee and current Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, in the race to succeed Whitmer.
In Kansas, Trump is supporting state Senate President Ty Masterson in a crowded field of Republican gubernatorial contenders.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly is term-limited, which makes the race to succeed her a top flip opportunity for the GOP.
In Washington State, the marquee primary showdown is in the state's 3rd Congressional District, where Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a former auto shop co-owner, is facing a crowded field of challengers from both parties.
Washington state has a top-two primary system in which all candidates, regardless of party, compete on the same ballot and the two highest vote-getters move on to the general election.
The race is another crucial House showdown that may decide the chamber's majority.
In Virginia, voters head to the polls to cast ballots in Senate primaries and in a handful of House primaries in extremely competitive districts that may impact the balance of power on Capitol Hill.
Cruises thrown into chaos as drought strands ships, leaves passengers scrambling
Cruise passengers in certain locations have had their vacations disrupted due to record-low water levels on high-traffic rivers in Europe, stranding vessels and switching up itineraries.
The continent has experienced "above-average temperatures with an extensive and prolonged heatwave" in the first half of July, with drought conditions still persisting, according to the European Drought Observatory (EDO)'s website.
The EDO's latest map shows drought stretching across much of Central and Western Europe, with the most severe "alert" conditions concentrated in parts of France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Romania and the Balkans.
BELOVED CRUISE SPOT WILL BE OFF LIMITS THROUGH 2027 AS SAFETY CONCERNS LINGER
The drought has impacted two of Europe's major river routes — the Danube and the Rhine.
Hungary's Paks Nuclear Power Plant reported July 27 that the Danube's lowest water level at Paks — minus 42 inches — broke all previous records.
Meanwhile, images of the Rhine show exposed sandbars and dried-up riverbanks as ships traveled through a shrunken waterway.
Several river cruise operators, including Avalon Waterways and AmaWaterways, have warned that low water levels on parts of both rivers may alter itineraries.
HAUNTING NEW IMAGES REVEAL THE FINAL SHIP WHERE EXPLORER SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON DIED
The Danube, Europe's second-longest river, flows from Germany's Black Forest to the Black Sea, passing through or along the borders of 10 countries, including Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania.
The Rhine originates in the Swiss Alps and flows to the North Sea. The river goes through or along the borders of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Both rivers are popular cruise routes, so the drought has disrupted travel for passengers. Some tourists have been bussed to other ships farther down the river.
One user writing on a social media thread expressed concern about her family members' trip on the Danube and Rhine rivers.
CRUISE SHIP HIT WITH THIRD STOMACH ILLNESS OUTBREAK IN TWO MONTHS, REVIEW UNDERWAY
"My elderly mom and aunt are going on the grand tour from Budapest to Amsterdam in 10 days," the person wrote on Reddit on Monday.
"With the water levels of the Danube and Rhine being what they are and only hot weather on the horizon, I fear they will be bussed many times on the trip. ... I am unsure if they can really pack/unpack and [be bused] multiple times without any help."
A different Reddit user expressed disappointment after drought-driven low water levels forced changes to a Rhine river cruise.

"Just got back home on Sunday. The 'castle' part of the Rhine was too shallow to traverse," the person wrote last week.
"Our line did their best to overcome things [outside] their control, but it was disappointing, to say the least. … Not that I’m blaming the company, they were amazing, but the entire point of the cruise was to see the castles."

"We traveled by bus about 5 hours to [a] new ship. The bus ride was broken up, but we missed our [prepaid] excursions," the commenter said.

Virginia voters cement swing district rematch after Dems’ redistricting fail
Democrats renominated former Rep. Elaine Luria, who represented Hampton Roads and Virginia's Eastern Shore, Tuesday to face incumbent Republican Rep. Jennifer Kiggans of Virginia Beach in a rematch.
Luria, a retired Naval commander who served two terms from 2019 to 2023, entered the race with the highest name recognition and the backing of much of Virginia's Democratic establishment.
The district, stretching from New Church on Maryland's border through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to Virginia Beach, was one of several in Virginia Democrats sought to redraw to shift the state's congressional delegation from a 6-5 Democratic edge to a 10-1 advantage.
SUPREME COURT DEALS BLOW TO VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS IN FIGHT OVER STATE COURT ELECTION MAP RULING
That plan failed when conservatives successfully challenged the redistricting in court, handing Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her party a major and financially costly loss.
Luria had challenged Dr. Sudipta "Nila" Devanath, businessman Bill Fleming and former USAID staffer Patrick Mosolf for the nomination.

Fleming, a scientist who has worked for the NIH and IBM, is running on a more moderate platform, emphasizing his role as a grandfather and his vision for the next generation.

The district is expected to host one of Virginia's closest congressional races this fall and remains a top target for both national parties as they battle for House control.
