Summary

The SAVE Act has become a major flashpoint, driving Democrats to fury over its requirement that voters present certain forms of ID. In the New York City mayoral race, had Andrew Cuomo not entered the contest, Eric Adams would likely have secured the Democratic primary, but Zohran Mamdani ultimately claimed that spot instead. New York City is also moving forward with installing additional speed cameras, following the model of San Francisco, which has generated approximately $17 million annually from its own camera program. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. A lineup change is underway at MSNBC. Some Democrats are framing the SAVE Act as voter suppression, particularly targeting immigrants, with certain members of the party suggesting that some racial groups lack access to proper identification. Ann and Mark also turn to what the airlines should do amid the ongoing DHS situation and the continued dysfunction in Congress.
