Socialism’s true believers who cast their ballots for Zohran Mamdani should take note of how the perpetually grinning mayor-to-be thanks them for their votes: with a big, fat kiss-off. Mamdani coldly blew off lower Manhattanites who overwhelmingly voted for him by taking the wrong side in the long-running dispute over the beloved Elizabeth Street Garden, which City Hall had earmarked for demolition until Mayor Adams came to his senses last spring.

Scientists may have found a way to stop Alzheimer’s damage before it starts — by “melting” the tiny protein clumps that are the early triggers of the disease.

Led by Professor Rei Kurita, the scientists used precise X-ray and fluorescence methods in a laboratory setting…
