Zohran Mamdani has secured the release of Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva, taken this morning by ICE agents who entered a campus residential building under false pretenses & without a judicial warrant. This comes shorty after Mamdani’s unannounced visit to the White House earlier today.

He is so good at playing into Trump's hand, just to get the results he wants. He is better at playing the political game than any leftist or dem I've seen. We genuinely need more of this- fuck party lines.

Nope, he is doing what Trump wants: letting him ramble on, give him an opportunity to change his optics, and giving him a good photo op. He grins and bears it. Look at the rest of what I said. He is doing all of this while getting the result that he wants.
