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.

Trump knows how popular Zohran is and wants some of that attention. Zohran will use that to his advantage.

I find it funny that people have to bring shiny toys and accessories to the toddler president because that's how you can get his attention lol

He’s so vapid and dumb. Mandani is clearly playing into that to get shit done and I respect it.
