He’s been mayor for 131 days. Imagine if every politician was young, energetic, and motivated to help his constituents like him.
No austerity, no cruelty, just results. This is how you govern for regular people — not the way Trump does for his donor class
Taxing rich people is the way to go. No fucking way I want to see trillion Aires.
This is why the rich, the powerful, and the NYPD absolutely HATE this man. He brings competence, compassion, and an efficiency to the NYC Mayor’s office, that threatens their deeply embedded corruption and cruelty.
It’s amazing that this is happening within the national political landscape. If nothing else, in an abstact sense we are living in a large petri dish right now.
See what happens if we ACTUALL6 do stuff n tax the rich. You get things done
Is the NY Post covering this? Or do they only cover biased and negative news for Mamdani?
Edit: nvm found it. Balancing the budget they complained about is bad according to them.
Good, get fucked Eric Adams.
They have spent decades building narratives why you can’t just do all the things that Mamdani is doing and he proved them all wrong. He did this in less than half a year.
That’s why I’m optimistic when you dump Trump in the trash that an actual progressive candidate can change this nation.
My former MAGA friend was shitting himself screaming that Mamdani would ruin New York. Wonder what he’s thinking now.
My favorite thing is people saying the billionaires will leave the city necklace of him. Do you realize how amazing your life can be as a billionaire living in NYC? It’s a giant playground if you’re wealthy.
Can someone smart explain this to me? Seems like all that happened was the state said “ok, you don’t owe us as much now”. Is that really just it?
Sigh. Budget all balanced, time for Republicans to come in and fuck it all up again, pillage evrything they can find.
This is the way
It’s almost like the morbidly rich are hoarding, rather than paying their share of upkeep.
We need a president like him
But all the conservatives from middle of nowhere fly over states assured me every rich person was leaving New York City because their second home valued at $5 million or more was being taxed?
Fox News lied again? Say it ain’t so!
He is creating a tangible template for progressive governance. In the biggest city in the US he is showing everyone that progressive policies work. They are possible. They are affordable, and the rich and powerful are shitting their pants.
Puts a smile on my face.
Oh boy, Republicans and people that don’t live in New York are going to go nuts over this news.
Man, there’s gonna be hella cope on Fox tonight lol
Impossible. Conservatives told me he already bankrupted the entire city. It’s almost like they live in a completely alternate reality where they just make things up to fit their narrative.
>$12 billion deficit left over from the Eric Adams administration
>$8 billion in state assistance for New York City over the next two fiscal years
This sounds like Hochul and the state is largely responsible, especially since the article itself is saying the pied-a-terre taxes will be less than a billion in increased revenue and that Mamdani admin will in fact be looking to make cuts in certain areas.
No one here ever wants to actually read the article lmao
This is how we do it, baby! At this point he is the second sexiest man alive, right after Zhelensky.
You can tell these comments didn’t read how he got revenue neutral. Reads a lot more like Clinton in the 90s (over 2 billion dollars saved due to efficiency plus some pension manipulation) with a 4 bailout by the state vs. a progressive victory (568 million in increased taxes). Which is a plus in my column because it means he is not dogmatic
I am happy for his victory, but didn’t he end up receiving a 4b bailout from the governor? I worry this wasn’t an actual fix for NY, but pushing it down the road in exchange for not raising taxes.
Sounds like this budget gap was partly closed at the expense of children. Delaying implementation of class size reduction by not hiring more teachers, and limiting education options for children with disabilities. It’s easy to sell out kids, they don’t vote. Eric Adams already previously cut the education budget, and now education gets hit again.
Wait till he introduces sharia law! /s
But I thought the left were the financially irresponsible ones and the only way to balance the budget was to cut social services
So nice to have this after years of „I win, or we lose“ leaders like Cuomo and bag-chasing goobers like Adams.
I was in northwest Arkansas this weekend and I could hear a random old hillbilly at the bar was just going on about how “F’ed New York was” after electing Mamdani. He couldn’t believe after 9/11 that they actually did forget. He was just there by himself, drinking beers and scrolling through Fox News on his phone.
Now is this „billions in assistance from the state“ reliable long-term, or is it a one year thing?
Mark my words; If he gets too popular they are going to assassinate this man. I fear for him.
Im curious what bullshit the Nazis and billionaires are saying about a balanced budget.
There’s nothing conservatives despise more than a budget getting balanced by a progressive.
A bit disingenuous to say no cuts. He did do some cuts….its in the article.
The first described was keeping class sizes larger rather than adhering to the new law requiring smaller classrooms. That was a 1.7b/yr cut.
He did cuts. I have no issues with any of them.
Now do the rest of the country.
