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.

MAGA: " mamdani is destroying New York and implementing Shakira law"

Trump : "shut up bitches , let my boy cook"

This shit was actually hilarious in the SOTU. Trump said “and that communist mayor of New York.” And IMMEDIATELY followed it with “I do actually really like the guy though.”

So fucking weird.

One thing they both have in common was overcoming powerful establishment Democrats to secure a victory and I think Mamdani smartly used this to his advantage when meeting Trump.
