“I think bill signings are important I think it’s a good way to amplify an important issue,” said @SpeakerMenin on NY1 when asked about @NYCMayor lack of bill signings. “I hope moving forward he does more of them,” she said adding the process gives the public to speak.
NEW: Mayor Zohran Mamdani has signed just one bill into law in 10 months since taking office — leaving critics to wonder if the millennial mayor is more interested in social media stardom than his daily government duties. nypost.com/2026/10/22/us-new…

I was a mayoral advance director. You are in the shit with the boss (ok, so 20+ years ago). Seems very odd to just fire the guy who was so close in proximity. Send him to parks? Maybe. Escort him from building? Idk.
NEW: @NYCMayor's team abruptly & inexplicably fired his director of advance, Val Sanders. By many accounts Sanders did his job well & staffers were surprised by the nature of his ouster. It comes as 3 deputy mayors' chiefs of staff have left their posts. nytimes.com/2026/10/21/nyreg…

Exactly why Mamdani is failing to sign bills of his own interest has left people even inside City Hall puzzled — while others have speculated his allies are probably shaking their heads.

A City Hall insider called the behavior “lazy.” “It’s lazy in two ways — one is you are not taking a stand,” they said. “And lazy from a practical perspective — you can’t focus City Hall staff to hold the hearings, write the briefings and execute the bill signings.”

The Mamdani administration’s budget office retweeted — then deleted — a campaign post from a Texas Democrat running for US Senate. 👀

NYC Comptroller Mark Levine has now been uninvited to a speaking engagement at an elite NYC synagogue with State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli this week over his decision not to invest in Israeli bonds, sources say. DiNapoli has vowed to stay by the investment in New York.
Sources tell me Levine has been in damage control with Jewish community since this dropped — with his public messaging falling short considering the returns on Israeli bonds are nearly 2% points higher now than when he made the campaign promise.

Here is NYC DSA going to war with public safety chair over a bill banning the SRG. While @NYCMayor, also NYC DSA member, is in City Hall and could ban the police unit at any time (he promised this on campaign trial).
This weekend we were in Council Member Feliz's district with @DarializaforNY and @ConradforHarlem talking to neighbors about the CURB Act. Of the people we spoke to, 91% support blocking SRG from policing protests. @OswaldFeliz, when will you bring the CURB Act to a hearing?

Chi Ossé, a Democratic Socialists of American chum of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, ditched government hearings on Monday and Tuesday to instead travel multiple hours outside of his Brooklyn district to head to Rochester and Syracuse. nypost.com/2026/10/20/us-new…

“They said, ‘New York’s cutest,’” said Whitney Toussaint, a parent leader in Queens. “OK, where the Black babies at? Because our kids are cute too.” None of the four children in front of the camera were Black.”
