He also gave some mumbo jumbo about all the racists he has hired. Dogcows didn’t post that

When you elect a  mayor like this you have to expect these things. This will be interesting to see how this shakes out

ICE WATCH: NYU Langone's Cobble Hill ER refused to treat three NYPD detectives after they were attacked by a suspect because staff falsely accused them of being with ICE. Eventually after disarming the plainclothes detectives they were treated. The staff violated the Hippocratic Oath and EMTALA, a federal law mandating emergency stabilization regardless of patient status.

Mamdani Clears Early Hurdles as Storm Bears Down on New York

As he navigated a snowstorm that barreled down on New York City over the weekend and provided an early test of his management chops, Mayor Zohran Mamdani employed the same communication skills he used to defeat a dynasty and win the mayoralty last year.

Before snow accumulated and sleet pelted the five boroughs on Sunday, Mr. Mamdani was blanketing local and national airwaves — aware of the importance of providing routine updates to New Yorkers.

By Sunday evening, other than disappointing public school students with his determination to hold classes virtually on Monday, the mayor had seemed for the moment to satisfy skeptics — though snow cleanup was a work in progress, and it remained to be seen how virtual school would go Monday.

“If you do see me, feel free to throw a snowball at me,” the mayor joked to students during a news conference Sunday afternoon.

The storm was not without major challenges — seven people were found dead outside over the weekend, including one homeless person on a park bench in Queens. The local state senator, Jessica Ramos, said that the man had frozen to death. It was not clear if the other deaths were weather-related.

But the city largely appeared to be prepared for the weather. According to the Department of Sanitation spokesman, Joshua Goodman, streets were salted and plowed and bike lanes were cleared for delivery workers throughout the day on Sunday.

Crews headed out to begin clearing roads at 8:30 a.m., when precipitation had reached the requisite two inches; shortly after 7 p.m., Mr. Goodman said every single street under city control had been plowed at least twice; tens of millions of pounds of salt had been spread across the five boroughs; and 2,500 sanitation workers were rotating on 12-hour shifts to continue the cleanup. Snow exceeded nine inches in most parts of the city as of Sunday night.

Some detractors complained on social media that their streets were not plowed quickly enough. But even some of Mr. Mamdani’s critics and those keeping close watch on his administration voiced overall approval of his management of the city’s storm response.

“Credit where due, looks like @NYCMayor is handling this storm very well so far,” Benny Polatseck, an aide to former Mayor Eric Adams and a vocal critic of Mr. Mamdani, posted on X on Sunday afternoon.
