Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist utopia is now blocking his sidewalk.
Ocasio-Cortez, a “squad” member, has remained mum about growing speculation that she will run for president.
The DOB approved the allegedly shoddy plans in March for the excavation of the lot at 2625 Bedford Ave, where a developer was set to build a three-floor, 25,000-square-foot mixed-use building.
“Kathy Hochul may be the worst governor in the history of New York State and one of the worst in the nation,” roared the commander-in-chief during a tele-rally promoting the campaigns of Blakeman and two other New York Republicans, Attorney General candidate Saritha Komatireddy and upstate congressional hopeful Anthony Constantino.
President Trump has agreed to grant a visa to the mother of a 15-year-old Bronx boy who was shot to death on his way to school, allowing her to travel from Ghana to NYC to mourn her son in person, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Saturday.
Critics – including President Trump — immediately called for her to step away, saying she was too political, biased and unethical to fairly investigate the case. Norman Siegel, a longtime civil rights lawyer, said James is doing the right thing, adding that her taking the case would be like a police commissioner commenting on police misconduct cases before a probe is finished.
Republican Bruce Blakeman hit three corners of NYC to deliver his affordability message Saturday as his gubernatorial bid reached the final stretch, jabbing opponent Gov. Kathy Hochul and “anti-American” Mayor Zohran Mamdani along the way.
The socialist mayor – who has been campaigning heavily to get Gov. Kathy Hochul re-elected in a race against Republican Bruce Blakeman – showed up at the Upper East Side site around 10 a.m. Hizzoner brought donuts for poll workers and was greeted by at least one heckler, who yelled “Communist! You suck!,” according to video posted on X. Early voting will continue for more than a week before Nov. 3 on Election Day.
The ballot questions before NYC voters in the Nov. 3 general election – which include measures to fast-track how City Hall approves controversial outdoor dining sheds and anti-car, so-called street-safety projects — were selected by a 15-member Charter Revision Commission appointed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
A big chunk of the money came from former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg; the Greater New York Hospital Association Management Corp.; and Leadership for New York, a super PAC run by Jay Martin, a political strategist and former executive director at the New York Apartment Association.

“Whereas, contesting high profile races is an effective strategy for expanding DSA’s membership, growing our profile, and propagandizing our agenda, proven by races like Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s.” “Therefore, be it resolved NYC-DSA will commit to building the necessary relationships and infrastructure to contest statewide races in preparation to run candidates for United States President in 2028, United States Senate in 2028 and 2030, and for New York Governor and Lieutenant Governor in 2030,” it added.
