How (Most of) the NYC Democratic Establishment Got on Zohranโ€™s Bandwagon and Helped Him Consolidate His Victory But, Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Hakeem Jeffries, Greg Meeks and Dan Goldman did not.

Here's my rundown of some of the main reasons why Zohran added over 500k votes to his 1st-place total in the primary.

"Access to books decreases recidivism. . . .

[Yet] U.S. prisons remain the institutions where the most censorship occurs.

This has not changed, even as school and public library book challenges have skyrocketed in numbers since 2021. . .

Why? bigotry, racism, and profit motive."

Lindsey Boylan is a former aide to Andrew Cuomo who was the first woman to publicly accuse him of sexual harassment. She now supports Zohran Mamdani in the New York mayoral election and says voters must not forget Cuomo's history of abuse.

Israel killed 3 Palestinians today

Israel is still not allowing UNRWA to deliver aid. UNRWA said they have enough food to supply Palestinians for 3 months. Israel hasnโ€™t let them bring any aid into Gaza in 7 months.

How Mamdani Beat Murdoch This time around, a next-generation leftist ran circles around Rupertโ€™s wounded attack dog.

Immediately after Oct 7, the New York Post unsuccessfully tried to KO the NYC-DSA.

Two years later, Mamdani and co. are calling the shots.
