Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it. Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families. Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress. Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves. I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.

The most interesting aspect of Zohran Mamdani’s housing plan is that it doesn’t simply transfer seized properties to the city as that could later be reversed by a future mayor. Instead, it funnels them directly to NGOs and “community stewards” that are reliably aligned with leftist priorities and unlikely to ever relinquish control. Even tenants who gain temporary possession will soon discover they lack the expertise and resources to manage buildings themselves, forcing them to rely on these permanent third-party intermediaries. This expropriation strategy didn’t start with Mamdani. Democrats laid the groundwork years ago but lacked the nerve to follow through fully. Mamdani is openly commie and has no such hesitation. The play: >impose strict rent controls that make it financially unviable for owners to properly maintain or repair their properties >blame the landlords for the resulting deterioration >label the buildings “chronically neglected” based on your own standards >seize the properties and transfer them to your political allies, the nonprofits, community land trusts, or tenant groups Because the criteria are deliberately vague and subjective, virtually any owner can be targeted. This gives authorities the power to confiscate private property at will. Mamdani’s campaign made this direction explicit. It’s about pursuing “equity” by redistributing housing stock, often framed as taking from wealthier (white) neighborhoods to benefit others. In reality, many of these properties are expected to end up under the control of nonprofits serving the city’s large foreign-born population, all within a framework of permanent “progressive” dominance. TLDR: it’s leftist plunder and pillaging, again.
