Mamdani campaigns on affordability but as @nicolegelinas writes, his city-run grocery stores are unlikely to be realized because of “pesky” details. Do Zohran fans even care? nytimes.com/2025/07/23/opi…
Ray Domenico gets it.Teachers union is the most powerful political entity, as acknowledged by Cuomo. Both Adams and Cuomo won’t defund community schools which wasted $700M (de Blasio). It’s now an entitlement for nonprofits, and not helping students. nypost.com/2025/07/19/opi…
Will Tisch want the job under Mamdani?
.@ZohranKMamdani says he’ll consider keeping @NYPDPC Commissioner Tisch on if he’s mayor, but says it’s too soon for him to commit

“Just 35% of felony cases — 6,871 out of 19,602 crimes — ended in convictions last year, down from 37% in 2023, 40% in 2022, and 42% in 2021 before Bragg took office, …” Bragg is a disaster for NYC’s public safety and quality of life. nypost.com/2025/07/19/us-…

It is progress that @NYSEDNews will no longer require using race for STEP because of our lawsuit. I’m glad @PacificLegal will fight on to be victorious in the courts. The scourge of racial preferences must be defeated. nypost.com/2025/07/14/us-…
BREAKING: In response to our case against racial discrimination for NY STEP school admissions, the New York State Education Department released new guidance allowing schools to enroll students based on economic need, not racial preferences.
Can’t see the case for corporations and billionaires “thriving”. Mamdani is counting on them to pay for $10B of “free stuff”.
Asked how he’s convincing biz leaders that he won’t run them out of town with his policies (ie taxing the rich), Mamdani says his vision is one “where everyone stays, everyone thrives.”
Everyone knows the UFT is the most powerful political entity in New York yet they want to play victims so they can continue to dominate.
“Why can't we attract and retain teachers the way we used to? We know the answer: We’re forcing them to earn less & work longer. We’re telling them the bargain they made to work in public service & have the benefit of a public pension is being taken away.” - @ZohranKMamdani
