DSA sets goal of electing socialist NYC Council speaker to make sure Mamdani stays radical

Seize the means of obstruction! The Democratic Socialists of America are plotting to install a socialist as the City Council speaker – with the goal of making sure Mayor Zohran Mamdani stays firmly to the left. The city chapter of the uber-liberal group, which helped elect card-carrying member Mamdani last year, is proposing a resolution to be voted on by comrades at its convention on Saturday that would set a goal for a socialist speaker for the next election in 2029, when current Speaker Julie Menin will be term-limited out. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks at a press conference at the DSNY HQ in Manhattan, New York, Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, to address upcoming winter hardships. James Messerschmidt for NY Post “DSA will work in coalition with other left and progressive organizations and with organized labor toward this end,” the resolution says. The draft resolution states the DSA wants to turn the 51-member council into an independent “pole” to hold the socialist mayor accountable to the DSA’s agenda – and prevent Republicans and conservatives from monopolizing “all discontentment” with the administration. NYC DSA is so afraid of being too white it’s mulling an ‘anti-oppression’ task force to recruit minorities But

Mamdani distances himself from DSA’s wildest platforms during rapid-fire Fox News questioning

Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from some of the wildest policies espoused by leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America . Hizzoner downplayed the possibility of him getting booted out of the lefty group while claiming there’s mainstream public support to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “The thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” Mamdani told “Fox News Sunday” in a pre-taped interview. “I think what we’re seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis,” he added. “Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from key tenets of the DSA platform.

NY Republican claims ‘stolen’ election after blue wave, local vote machine chaos

The only Republican on the Westchester County Board of Legislators is refusing to concede to a Democrat in his bid for reelection — claiming the election was “stolen” from him because of local vote machine chaos . County Legislator James Nolan made the wild statement as he trailed Democratic challenger Kisha D. Skipper by 246 votes in his reelection bid, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections. Board of Legislators candidate James Nolan claims the election was stolen from him in a Facebook photo post. Facebook/James Nolan Nolan, who represents portions of Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester, was in position to lose his seat after days of ballot counting following a widespread programming glitch on Election Day in Westchester County that saw voting machines unable to scan paper ballots. The race was already ensnared in controversy when Skipper was handcuffed and detained by cops after a restroom brawl with Nolan’s mother at a candidates’ forum in Yonkers last month. “Following a massive countywide voting machine shutdown on Election Day, I have serious concerns about what took place, and the timing of these failures raises questions that demand answers,” Nolan said in a statement after ballots were counted
