Her son, Thomas Paladino Jr., doubled down on the tweet, claiming that Mamdani’s family “pulled strings” to speed up his citizenship process. He provided no actual proof for this and said he didn’t need any. “In our opinion, these are the facts,” he said.
Let’s just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn’t even been a US citizen for ten years—much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we’ve ever been about. Deport.
A man was found dead on Rikers Island this morning. Few details at the moment. The unnamed man is the ninth person to die in DOC custody this year and the fourth in the last month.
The anti-Mamdani CityDeskNYC bot raises a lot of questions about the use of AI in campaigns. The Queens Eagle dove into some of these issues earlier this year after we found a local council candidate using AI-generated images on his campaign site. queenseagle.com/all/2025/6/8/a…
New story on James Dolan's adventures in campaign finance: He and two affiliated PACs have spent over $140K on DA Alvin Bragg's independent challenger, Diana Florence. Yes, there's a facial recognition angle to this grudge. amny.com/law/msgs-james…

NEW: NYC Mayor Eric Adams was slated to attend an event next week featuring a Hindu nationalist whose speeches frequently include calls for violence against Muslims in India. He withdrew yesterday after New York Focus sent inquiries about his attendance. nysfocus.com/2025/07/10/eri…
Another man died in DOC custody today. Christian Collado, 51, had stage 4 cancer and was being treated at Bellevue before his death. Collado's attorney told me the Queens DA rebuffed multiple requests to dismiss the charges against the terminally ill defendant
It’s July 4, 2026 in Zohran Mamdani’s NYC. Macy’s fireworks show has been replaced by a 24-hour MJ Lenderman concert sponsored by Ella Emhoff, small donors and Carhartt. Just as the sun sets, MJ hits the riff on Wristwatch and fireworks set off from the heart of Bushwick
The 6% percent drop in major offenses in the first half of 2025 is great progress. If it continues to the end of the year, major crimes will still have increased 14% in the four years of Mayor Adams' administration.
Not only did we ignore the noise from the Mamdanis of the world who recklessly called to defund the police, but we doubled down on our support. The results speak for themselves. In the first half of 2025, shooting victims fell to the lowest level in New York City history! “When…

Here's more on Lori Zeno, including some quotes from the accused herself, who spoke to me in March when it was believed that she was under federal investigation. queenseagle.com/all/2025/6/11/…
Zeno told me earlier this year that she hoped to be living in Bali "living a peaceful life" when the organization she founded potentially crumbles. The location is not random – prosecutors say she spent $10,000 of company funds on a vacation there
Breaking: Lori Zeno, the former director of the Queens Defenders, has been charged for allegedly stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the nonprofit. Zeno was forced out by QD’s board earlier this year and it appears this is why
Francisco Moya finally weighs in on the race to replace him in the council. He backs the Queens County Democratic Party's candidate, Yanna Henriquez, who is one of three candidates boasting big fundraising numbers and endorsements, as the Eagle reported. queenseagle.com/all/2025/5/11/…
Representing my community has been the greatest honor. As I look to the future of the neighborhood I’ve called home my whole life, there’s only 1 person who will continue the work I’ve done: Yanna Henriquez. I’ve known and worked with Yanna to improve our community for over 25yrs
Really smart story from @RyanSchwach about a Queens council candidate's apparent use of AI-generated campaign images and the impact AI could have – and already has – on local politics
A Queens city council candidate appears to use AI generated images on his campaign site. Should it matter? And how is the ever growing use of AI making its way into local politics? queenseagle.com/all/2025/6/8/a…
