New York City is facing a historic breakdown in basic services. Just weeks into his term, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under intense scrutiny as New York City struggles to recover from Winter Storm Fern. Despite 2,500 sanitation workers on 12-hour shifts, residents are reporting "Great Walls of Trash" and lethal icy conditions. From 80,000 complaints of no heat to celebrity-led protests on social media, we dive into why the city`s snow removal has stalled and why critics like Rudy Giuliani are calling this the worst mismanagement in NYC history.

A massive four-alarm fire ripped through a residential block in Elmhurst, Queens, turning multiple buildings into a wall of flames and chaos on Monday evening. The fast-moving inferno engulfed three structures, sending thick black smoke across the neighborhood and triggering a large-scale FDNY emergency response. One woman was pronounced dead at the scene. A man remains in critical condition at a nearby hospital. Eight people were injured, including two FDNY firefighters, as rescue teams worked through extreme heat, heavy smoke infiltration, and collapsing structures. Basements and residential units were quickly filled with smoke, prompting panic calls from neighbors and immediate 911 responses. WATCH
