Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo delivered one of the most scathing attacks in recent memory on Wednesday during the New York City mayoral debate, as he denounced Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani in a mic drop moment. “I understand my friend really doesn’t understand government,” Cuomo began. “The governor doesn’t build housing in New York City.” “Not if it’s you,” Mamdani taunted Cuomo. “No. Legally, there are jurisdictions,” Cuomo fired back, explaining to Mamdani as if he were a child. “The governor doesn’t pick up trash; he doesn’t run the fire department. That’s what the mayor does. The mayor builds housing. The state allocates funding for localities. And I allocated more funding for housing than any governor in the history of the state of New York.” “I did things,” he pointed out, then got down to brass tacks. “You have never had a job; you’ve never accomplished anything. There’s no reason to believe you have any merit or qualification for eight and a half million lives. You don’t know how to run a government; you don’t know how to handle an emergency, and you’ve literally never proposed a bill on anything that you’re not talking about in your campaign.” Cuomo then turned to Mamdani’s record: “You had the worst attendance record in the Assembly, and you gave yourselves the highest raise in the United States of America; you went from $110,000 to $140,000, and then you never showed up for work and you missed 80% of the votes.” “Shame on you!” he thundered. “Shame on you!” Seriously. This is your new ad, @andrewcuomo. What a mic drop. pic.twitter.com/18xjhZ2gEM — Tali Goldsheft (@TaliGoldsheft) October 23, 2025 Mamdani, 33, a state assemblyman who grew up as the privileged son of “acclaimed Marxist scholar Mahmood Mamdani and Oscar-nominated film director Mira Nair,” as The Independent reported, attended Bowdoin College, where he co-founded the school’s chapter of the radical activist group, Students for Justice in Palestine. His entire job history outside of politics has consisted of working as a foreclosure prevention counselor and a rapper. During the 2020 BLM protests and riots, Mamdani said that the New York Police Department should be removed from high-crime areas. He received harsh criticism after a video surfaced showing him saying that in the past, he had stopped working and relied on his parents’ money. “I worked until January, and then I took time away from my job, and one of the major reasons I could do so was because I knew that if I ran out of my savings, my family would be able to support me,” he stated.

A 21-year-old Indian national arrested over a fatal California crash that killed three people was released into the United States by the Biden administration after illegally crossing the border in March 2022. Jashanpreet Singh was arrested on Tuesday by the California Highway Patrol after the semi-truck he was driving smashed into slow traffic on a freeway in Ontario, causing an eight-vehicle pile-up, according to law enforcement. Investigators say Singh had drugs in his system at the time of the crash. In addition to the three fatalities, four others were injured.  Singh is charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence of drugs causing bodily injury. He is currently in the custody of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and is not eligible for bail. He is set to make his first court appearance on Thursday. Border Patrol apprehended Singh in March 2022 after illegally crossing into California, then released pending a court date, Fox News first reported.  Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy commented on the footage of the crash on Wednesday, noting the Trump administration’s battle with California over commercial truck licensing standards.  “This is exactly why [the Department of Transportation] has withheld $40 MILLION from California for failure to comply with our rules to protect drivers,” Duffy posted on X. ”We cannot allow our roads to be a dangerous place!” Earlier this week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer against an illegal immigrant from Serbia and Montenegro who was accused of killing an Indiana man while driving a semi-truck without a valid commercial license. Borko Stankovic was arrested on October 15 after he allegedly swerved his truck into the wrong lane and fatally crashed into 54-year-old Jeffrey Eberly. Illegal aliens have NO BUSINESS operating 18 wheelers on America’s highways.

The Trump administration has attempted to crack down on illegal immigrants operating commercial trucks and rolled out new English proficiency requirements for commercial drivers in May. Duffy announced last week that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration would withhold $40 million from California for its failure to comply with English-language standards. A federal investigation found that from June 25 to August 21, California allowed at least 23 drivers with documented violations of English proficiency in other states to remain on the road. Florida has sued California for issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. That suit came after a 28-year-old illegal immigrant from India was arrested after he was accused of making an illegal U-turn while driving on the Florida turnpike and killing three people.
