This trip comes as Adams has for weeks openly talked about potentially taking a job related to something international once he leaves City Hall at the end of the year.

As with his trip to Albania last month, NYC taxpayers are footing the bill for his Israel visit.

On a different topic, Mamdani declines to share his opinion on whether he thinks @chiosse.bsky.social should run against Congressman Hakeem Jeffries. "I keep my opinions just to the work of the transition," he says.

Mamdani makes the Fuleihan appointment official in a press conference at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute.

He's also appointing Elle Bisgaard-Church, one of his closest advisers, as his City Hall chief of staff.

Menin, who's also at Somos this week, vehemently denies ever saying this about Ayala. "This is ridiculous. I have never said this. We should be uplifting women not tearing each other down," she says in a statement.

Ayala made these remarks at a reception hosted tonight by Amanda Farias, also a Council speaker candidate this year.

Crystal Hudson, another speaker candidate, can be seen in the video, as can current and outgoing Speaker Adrienne Adams.

Still, the incident raises questions of what'll happen next time Trump's admin launches deportation raids in NYC.

Would Trump's admin give Tisch advance info if she stays commish under Mayor Mamdani, who's been incorrectly called a "communist" by Trump? www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/06/n...

No sanctuary laws were violated as part of this. In fact, Tisch's rep said she acted on the advance notice by directing cops to stay clear of the area to ensure NYPD didn't end up in any way coordinating with ICE — a move Mamdani's camp lauded today. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/06/n...

Tucker tendered the resignation while en route to Israel for a work trip.

Tucker felt he wouldn’t mesh well with the democratic socialist Mamdani and his team, a source said. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/05/f...

Mamdani won't say whether he plans to live in Gracie Mansion as mayor: "I don’t yet have an answer on where I’m going to be living, but I can tell you where I'm going to be working and that’s City Hall."

He has previously alluded to planning to move into Gracie if elected.

Michael Gianaris, the state Senate's No. 2 Dem, doesn't want to say Albany can def get Mamdani's top state priorities done in 2026 (free buses, universal childcare, tax hikes): "I think at a minimum, we can get started and move in a direction of phasing those things in over time."

The scene inside Mamdani's party with an hour to go until polls close.

Mostly media here for now, hip hop on the massive sound system and Mamdani's team testing out video on a large screen behind the podium where the candidate's expected to speak.
