Back in Sept., both DHS and Louisiana's governor used a cruel alliterative name for Angola when announcing that the penitentiary would start detaining immigrants. Maybe it's just me, but I haven't seen them persist much with this macabre branding exercise.

What is also important—maybe, not Mamdani’s entire point, but we will see—is that executive orders are weak ways of asserting power in a democracy. You want to create something permanent: write a statute and build a democratic coalition to pass it.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Yeah, Lucy Dacus' performance was good, but Sarah Goldstone isn't getting nearly enough love for playing the omnichord in sub-freezing weather without gloves.

Unmentioned, the woman to the left of the picture is Iris Weinshall. She has run a lot of NYC agencies and is currently COO of NY Public Library. She's also married to Sen. Chuck Schumer, seated to her right (out of frame.)
