Good Tuesday morning in New York City, where a technical issue is preventing the email version of today’s Early Addition newsletter from sending. Thank you for your patience, you can read a version below.
Weather: ⛅ Mostly sunny, highs around 20.
The snowfall is over, New York City public schools have reopened for in-person learning, public transit is operating (with some delays), and the general consensus seems to be that Mayor Zohran Mamdani made it through one of the highest stakes tests of running City Hall with no major mistakes.

- Is President Donald Trump worried about Alzheimer's? "No, I don’t think about it at all. You know why?" he told New York magazine. "Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever."
- Gen Z can't stop listening to "QKThr," an 88-second track off Aphex Twin’s 2001 album "Drukqs."
- Some parents just want to sit in the driveway and look at their phones.
- Kim Kardashian's new Nikes look like they'd really protect your feet on a rocky beach.
