Top Mamdani Appointee Resigns After Antisemitic Posts Resurface-llllllllllllllll
A senior appointee in New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s incoming administration abruptly resigned Thursday after resurfaced social media posts revealed she made antisemitic and anti-police remarks more than a decade ago.
Catherine Almonte Da Costa, who had been tapped to serve as Mamdani’s director of appointments, stepped down after the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of New York and New Jersey publicly condemned her old social media activity. The posts, reportedly made between 2011 and 2012 on a now-deleted X account, contained multiple references to “money hungry Jews” and “rich Jewish peeps,” and included one comment calling a Far Rockaway train “the Jew train.”
“Her social media footprint includes posts from more than a decade ago that echo classic antisemitic tropes and otherwise demean Jewish people,” the ADL said in a statement Thursday. “Tweeting about ‘money hungry Jews’ is indefensible. We appreciate Da Costa has relationships with members of the Jewish community, but her posts require immediate explanation not just from Ms. Da Costa, but also from the mayor-elect.”
Following the ADL’s statement, Da Costa deleted her X account and issued an apology, saying she had personally reached out to Mayor-elect Mamdani to express remorse for her remarks.
“I spoke with the mayor-elect this afternoon, apologized and expressed my deep regret for my past statements,” Da Costa told The Judge Street Journal, which first reported the story. “These statements are not indicative of who I am. As the mother of Jewish children, I feel a profound sense of sadness and remorse at the harm these words have caused. As this has become a distraction from the work at hand, I have offered my resignation.”
Mamdani accepted the resignation, saying in a statement to the outlet: “Catherine expressed her deep remorse over her past statements and tendered her resignation, and I accepted.”
Da Costa had been appointed just days earlier to lead recruitment for Mamdani’s incoming administration, where she was tasked with identifying “top talent” for senior positions across city government. Her resignation marks the second major controversy to hit Mamdani’s transition team in less than a week.
Earlier this week, Mamdani defended his decision to appoint convicted armed robber Mysonne Linen to his transition team, calling it part of his “commitment to second chances.” Critics said the selection reflected poor judgment, particularly as Mamdani faces heightened scrutiny over his management decisions before taking office in January.
Da Costa previously worked in former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration, where she helped oversee outreach for the city’s 2020 Census initiative. But her past social media comments appear to contradict the diversity and inclusion values Mamdani has pledged to uphold.
In addition to antisemitic remarks, The New York Post reported that Da Costa made derogatory comments toward law enforcement, including references to “NYPD piggies” and criticism of police officers’ salaries. The resurfaced comments drew swift backlash online, with both Republican and Democratic officials calling on Mamdani to take swift disciplinary action.
The resignation comes just days before Mamdani is scheduled to be sworn in as New York City’s next mayor — a milestone for the 33-year-old Democratic Socialist, who rose to prominence as a state assemblyman from Queens. Mamdani, who has drawn support from left-wing figures such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is already under fire from Jewish leaders who have accused him of tolerating antisemitic rhetoric in his political orbit.
Last month, a coalition of New York rabbis urged Mamdani to condemn the “Globalize the Intifada” slogan used at pro-Palestinian protests following the October terror attacks in Sydney. Mamdani’s office said at the time that the mayor-elect “rejects all hate speech” but stopped short of denouncing the phrase directly.
Da Costa’s resignation adds further turmoil to a transition process that has already faced internal upheaval and growing criticism from city officials. Her departure, less than two weeks before Mamdani takes office, underscores what some insiders describe as “a chaotic and politically charged start” to the new administration.
The ADL said it had no further statement following Da Costa’s resignation. Mamdani’s team did not immediately respond to additional requests for comment.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
