dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?
great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

![PROBE RIPS ANDY IN $130M HUD MESS
By Deborah Orin

WASHINGTON – Federal watchdogs today will testify that Andrew Cuomo’s “lax oversight” let crooks loot a housing program for the poor that will now cost taxpayers $130 million to bail out.
At issue is Cuomo’s role as Bill Clinton’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development and his pet home-ownership program for the poor, which collapsed in scandal.
Today’s bipartisan congressional hearing was called by Rep. Sue Kelly (R-Westchester), with Reps. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) – who backs Cuomo’s gubernatorial rival Carl McCall – and Felix Grucci (R-L.I.) also expected.
“Decisions made during [Cuomo’s] tenure opened up this program to widespread fraud and abuse while the concerns of federal investigators were ignored,” Kelly said.
The program was supposed to help poor people fix up housing. But instead, it left tenants stuck in 719 homes – including almost 200 Harlem brownstones – that are mostly a mess, in foreclosure and, in some cases, without heat.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cnpe7qvcyjrhm6w7w7e4atur/bafkreihyqpupyp3u22r7upavo3tpwgtjgseq5ay77oq6vodleupm75cqny@jpeg)
