LA set to mirror NY with socialist supreme leader — but Dems have big problems for 2028

America’s largest city is run by Zohran Mamdani , a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America . Los Angeles, the second-largest metro, could follow: Fellow DSA member Nithya Raman seems poised to become its next mayor. A new California Post poll shows her leading Mayor Karen Bass . If Raman wins, DSA members will hold both mayors’ offices, forcing Democratic Party leaders to ask whether they still run their party, or whether they’re just chasing its socialist wing. Mamdani and Raman aren’t political twins. Mamdani has charisma, social media savvy and a talent for political theater; Raman has considerably less star power. What they share is more useful: Opponents that voters can’t stand. Andrew Cuomo entered the final weeks of New York’s 2025 mayoral race with a 55% unfavorable rating in a Marist poll reported by the New York Post . In LA, a California Post-McLaughlin survey last week found 71.7% disapproved of Bass’ performance. Raman led the race 46.7% to 38.8%, even though 41% identified Raman as the more extreme candidate, compared with 16.4% for Bass. I’ve spent nearly four decades in California politics; I can’t remember an incumbent this weak in LA. Fed-up voters aren’t suddenly

Governor Hochul Announces Completion Of Major Work On The Transformative Van Wyck Expressway Project

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the substantial completion of main line work on the transformational $1.4 billion Van Wyck Expressway Project with the opening of new managed-use lanes for taxis and high-occupancy vehicles in both directions between the Kew Gardens Interchange and Atlantic Avenue and John F. Kennedy International Airport. A centerpiece of the project, the managed-use lanes will provide speedier trips to and from the airport for taxis and other multi-person vehicles, thereby encouraging their use and reducing congestion along the main line highway. The new lanes, which opened Friday morning, are one of several new features and safety enhancements added to the Van Wyck Expressway as part of the project, which will be considered fully complete once work to rehabilitate nearby service roads is finished later this year.

Unlikely duo Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul joined forces at a Brooklyn campaign rally on Sunday to bash President Trump and Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman.

Blakeman amps up gubernational bid with three NYC stops, jabs Mamdani-Hochul alliance

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 Nassau County executive made an early pitstop at the Staten Island Republican Party headquarters in New Dorp where supporters greeted him before he schlepped across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the Brooklyn GOP’s office in Dyker Heights. In Brooklyn, Blakeman vowed to end NYC’s sanctuary city status and help put more money in New Yorkers’ pockets by lowering taxes. Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman speaking at a campaign event in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn on Oct. 24, 2026.

Mamdani shrugs off only signing 1 law in 10 months — as his fans oddly praise the lack of action

Mayor Zohran Mamdani hemmed and hawed when asked about the importance of bill signings – after The Post exposed him for putting his seal on just a single law during his first year in office. “I think the most important thing is that New Yorkers can see pieces of legislation becoming law,” Mamdani told The Post Thursday. “Whether we sign that legislation or it lapses the law, the impact is the same to New Yorker’s across the city,” he added. “And we’re excited to keep working with the council, whether it is signing more bills or seeing the passage of additional bills. Most important is to deliver new results to New Yorkers.” For real change and a better standard of living, vote Bruce Blakeman over hopeless incumbent Kathy Hochul Mayor Zohran Mamdani hemmed and hawed when asked about the importance of bill signings – after The Post exposed him for putting his seal on just a single law during his first year in office.

Highly-paid absentee pols are taking NY taxpayers for a free ride

New York taxpayers are getting flat-out robbed by lazy, overpaid politicians who can’t even be bothered to show up for work. State lawmakers and City Council members scored massive pay hikes in recent years on the promise of being “full time” public servants — which makes their routine no-shows all the more infuriating. The 10 worst attendance offenders in Albany skipped out on 442 votes combined — each blowing off more than 37% of the votes — while pocketing cushy six-figure, taxpayer-funded salaries. Lefty LA Council blasted over plan to study city-owned bank: ‘We can’t even manage our own damn finances’ Four state lawmakers didn’t even bother to set foot in the Albany Capitol once this past session, hiding behind remote-voting rules (years after the COVID emergency ended) to shirk basic duty. Their excuses for missing in-person legislative sessions and key committee hearings run from the maybe-forgivable — childbirth complications and other family or medical emergencies, Middle East deployment — to the outrageous; advanced age (retire if you can’t show up for work!) and sheer indifference , a slap in the face to hard-working New Yorkers footing the bill. NYC’s horse carriage ban is actually a scheme to benefit real
