Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

He was infuriated by rainbow merch at a college.
He just pleaded guilty to possessing illicit images with children.

Peter Mandelson is British Ambassador to the USA. He was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein's. We could ask Petey (Jeffrey's nickname for Mandelson) what he & Epstein chatted about over dinner, or when out shopping together.

I think it’s the still living pedophiles that are the issue.
I want to know if the President of the United States is a pedophile. And I know the American people do too.
I'm shocked that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than stand up to a dead pedophile.
So why not release the files?

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
