False 1/10
“Donald Trump proposed replacing Cherry Grove on Fire Island in New York with a golf course.”
The evidence does not support any proposal to replace Cherry Grove on Fire Island with a golf course. Reporting concerns a golf-course redevelopment plan at East Potomac in Washington, D.C., where a grove of cherry trees could be affected. The claim appears to stem from confusing a cherry-tree grove in D.C. with Cherry Grove, the New York community.

False 2/10
“New York State enacted a law that removed the terms "mother" and "father" from New York State birth certificates and replaced them with gender-neutral parental labels.”
New York did not remove “mother” and “father” from state birth certificates. The governing birth-certificate law allows those terms to remain and added “parent” as an additional option. Separate legislation updated gendered terminology in family-court and domestic-relations statutes, but that is not the same as changing birth-certificate labels.

Mostly True 8/10
“The administration of New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani secured $7.6 billion in New York State aid for New York City through a partnership with New York Governor Kathy Hochul.”
The evidence supports the core point that New York City received a very large state aid package after coordinated action by Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul. Credible reporting puts that support at about $7.6 billion, while primary official statements usually describe it as nearly $8 billion. The main caveat is that state legislative leaders were also central to the package, so the claim slightly oversimplifies who secured it.

True 9/10
“U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi asked a federal judge in New York to deny the appointment of a special master to monitor the release of the "Epstein files."”
Reporting from Reuters and other outlets shows the Justice Department asked a New York federal judge to reject a request for a special master over the Epstein files, and Pam Bondi was a signatory to that filing. The key caveat is that the request was made jointly with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, not by Bondi alone. That does not alter the substance of the claim.
