We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism, vowed Mamdani to cheers from the audience during his swearing-in ceremony. Conservatives on social media, however, were less attracted to the idea. So many people have fled Communism and forced collectivism. Watching one of the largest cities elect someone who wants to impose that ideology here is horrific. This isn't just about rhetoric. The human costs of these policies will be very real. Best of luck, NYC.
I promise you this: if you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree, I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn alongside you, and never, not for a second, hide from you, Mamdani told the crowd gathered at his inauguration, adding: I thank the labor and movement leaders here today, the activists and the elected officials who will return to fighting for New Yorkers the second this ceremony concludes, and the performers who have gifted us with their talent.
Trump posted the video to his Truth Social on Saturday during the No Kings protests that attracted a reported seven million Americans to approximately 2,600 rallies across the country. Trump's video portrayed him wearing a crown and flying a fighter jet with King Trump on the side, to the tune of Danger Zone from the Top Gun soundtrack.

Doing less of representing their districts and their states than just swearing allegiance to the President of the United States.
Graham Platner is a great working class candidate for Senate in Maine who will defeat Susan Collins, Sanders wrote on X, adding: It's disappointing that some Democratic leaders are urging Governor Mills to run. We need to focus on winning that seat & not waste millions on an unnecessary & divisive primary.
It's important that we feel the outrage of children going hungry, people being homeless, 85 million without healthcare, [and] you got one guy one guy Mr. Musk, whose own wealth is more than the bottom 52% of American households, Sanders said. The 83-year-old socialist continued: You may have seen in the papers, they want to give him a little bonus another $800 billion-$900 billion! We are living in crazy world!

I know, but there's a lot of money involved in that, too, Bernie. That's part of the problem. There's a lot of money involved in this whole climate change emergency issue, and there's a lot of control.
