NYC’s Zohran Mamdani and LA’s Nithya Raman reveal their coldness toward the homeless

The unclaimed bodies of nine homeless New Yorkers who froze to death during the coldest weeks of our brutal 2025-26 winter were laid to rest this week at St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue. Conspicuous by his absence was Mayor Zohran Mamdani , whose homeless policies played a key role in those deaths. Last winter served as one of the first real tests of the mayor’s political soul. Would he live up to his pledge to protect the marginalized? To make the city better for all New Yorkers? As horrified citizens watched their homeless neighbors freeze and die on the streets, it became clear the mayor would not. The cold took the lives of New Yorker after New Yorker , as the mayor stood by his policy of refusing to break up encampments and forcing the homeless indoors only as a “last resort.” So much for the “warmth of collectivism” Mamdani touted in his inauguration speech. After his election, the mayor deployed what is now standard progressive policy around the homeless: Let their encampments stay in place, no matter how high the human cost. That cost is usually counted in increased substance abuse and crime, including sexual assault, the victims

A mastodon skeleton, an Egyptian mummy, and a room of glowing minerals share one building, and nobody asks for a ticket. That alone made me look twice. Admission is free, with donations welcomed. The building dates to 1872, so the setting feels as old-school as the specimens inside. Fossils fill...

Mayor Mamdani's viral clap back at JD Vance might go down in social media history: 'Craziest ratio'

Zohran Mamdani has gone viral over his brutal reaction to JD Vance trying to claim his achievements as the Trump administrationâ s. Despite facing rampant Islamophobia while on the campaign trail and beyond, Mamdani was voted the Mayor of New York City in November 2025, making history by becoming the first Muslim mayor. Since taking office in January, Mamdani has been praised for instituting a string of positive changes for the city, with New Yorkers actually able to see the fruits of his labour . So, when vice president JD Vance posted, â We got your back, New York!â with a list of accomplishments on X/Twitter claiming the Trump administration had delivered them for New Yorkers, Mamdani was not going to let him get away with taking the credit. In his genius response, Mamdani quoted Vanceâ s post and added a video of a man pretending to manually stop a subway car and open the doors when they already do it automatically. And itâ s a burn that may well go down in social media history. At the time of writing, Mamdaniâ s post has more than 1.4 million likes, compared with Vanceâ s 8.6 thousand. Someone wrote: â This

Nellie Pou declares victory over Rosie Pino in NJ’s 9th District

Rep. Nellie Pou declared victory on Nov. 3 in her bid for a second term representing New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District, where Republicans had hoped to build on President Donald Trump’s narrow win two years earlier. The Democratic incumbent issued a statement at about 10 p.m. thanking voters after opening a large lead over Republican Rosie Pino, a Clifton councilwoman, in initial returns that included early voting and some mail-in ballots. Independent Terrisa Bukovinac also ran for the seat. “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the people of New Jersey’s Ninth District for the trust they have placed in me,” Pou said. Speaking by phone just a few minutes earlier as she traveled between campaign gatherings, Pou said she was optimistic about the returns but stopped short of declaring a win. “I do believe that we will be victorious, and the numbers are looking exceptionally good,” she told NorthJersey.com. Pou first won the seat in 2024 after the death of longtime Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., defeating Republican Billy Prempeh by about 5 percentage points even as Trump narrowly carried the district. Democrats regained ground in the 2025 governor’s race in the district, which includes Paterson, Passaic
