I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

The Trump administration reversed a Biden-era ban on antipersonnel land mines except on the Korean Peninsula.
The memo, signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, says the reversal would give the U.S. military a “force multiplier” against enemies.

The folk who think a right to housing solves anything are the same people who believe that we can use solve homelessness by relocating unhoused folk into homes that are being shown for sale.
“Right to housing” must hit so hard if you aren’t familiar with any aspect of housing policy at all. It must all feel so simple and easy. I’m honestly jealous of people that believe it’s as simple as pressing the “end homelessness” button. Imagine how hopeful you could feel.
