New York City’s likely next mayor would raise property taxes based on skin color. Front-runner and democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani said he would implement that proposal if, as polls project, he wins the Nov. 4 election. Mr. Mamdani, whose agenda calls for free day care, free bus rides, government-run grocery stores and raising taxes on millionaires to pay for it all, said the city’s residential property taxes are inequitable. Homeowners living in neighborhoods populated by minorities pay too much in property taxes, and those living in wealthier, Whiter neighborhoods don’t pay enough, he said.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. further added to the Trump administration’s problematic claims about Tylenol and autism on Oct. 9, alleging during a Cabinet meeting that circumcision-related studies provide evidence that the drug causes the condition when given to children. The studies, however, do no such thing. Weeks earlier, as part of a promised announcement on the causes of autism on Sept. 22, President Donald Trump had repeatedly admonished pregnant women not to take Tylenol, also known as acetaminophen. He also recommended that children avoid the medicine, saying, “Don’t give Tylenol to the baby after the baby’s born.”
