Anyway lets dive into the whirlwind week for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as of this Saturday afternoon hell of a time to be alive in NYC politics. Kicking off with the big one just two days ago on February 12th the NYC Mayors Office livestreamed Mamdani in the Blue Room at City Hall nominating Nadia Shihata as the new Commissioner of the Department of Investigation. He called it a historic pick first woman of color in the role tasked with rooting out corruption fraud and abuse across city agencies. Mamdani snorted mid-speech yeah even mayors have off moments and fielded tough questions on everything from ongoing probes to his push for universal childcare securing over a billion in state funding for 2K and 3K programs. He also touted slashing the citys budget deficit from 12 billion to seven billion per City and State New York after Albany talks and teased rental ripoff hearings starting late February in all five boroughs as announced on the NYC gov site and CBS News. Earlier in the week on February 9th Forbes Breaking News caught him at the ribbon-cutting for the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center name-dropping Squad members and local heroes. No major headlines in the last 24 hours but that DOI nomination could define his anti-corruption legacy long-term way bigger than the lingering Hot Girls for Zohran drama. Jewish Insider reports Mamdani dodged condemning co-founder Kaif Gilanis antisemitic and pro-Hamas social media posts from last week calling it an independent group though she got fired from Brad Landers campaign after the reveal.
