Shelter..

 

An influx of over 170,000 newly arrived migrants since 2022 significantly increased the number of people in New York City's homeless shelter system, even as overall metrics fluctuated with changing federal and local policies. 

 Large arrivals of asylum seekers pushed the total population residing in NYC shelters to historic highs, accounting for a substantial majority of the two-year increase in sheltered homelessness reported across major US cities. 

 Migrant arrivals drove a 147% increase in entries to family-with-children shelters and a 185% increase in adult-family shelters, alongside doubling the unsheltered homeless youth population in certain tracking periods. 

The city implemented strict 30-to-60-day stay limits for adult migrants in shelters, which critics note has led to periodic evictions and increases in unsheltered individuals sleeping on streets or subways.

Choice..

 

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire after failing to appoint any Jewish attorneys to the Mayor’s Advisory Committee on the Judiciary.

Four Jewish legal organizations criticized the appointments to the committee in a joint letter sent to Mamdani, 34, on Monday, July 27.

In the letter, the groups wrote that they were “deeply disappointed” by the appointments and argued that “not a single Jewish attorney, former judge or legal professional” was selected despite the mayor’s pledge to create a committee that would be “truly reflective of New York City.”

The organizations – the Queens Brandeis Association, Jewish Lawyers Guild, Brooklyn Brandeis Society and Bronx County Jewish Bar Association – went on to describe Mamdani’s choices as “especially painful” in light of what they claimed was a rise in antisemitism across the city.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thinks Democrats complaining about the new slate of left-wing candidates gaining traction with voters need a reality check, calling the establishment “way, way, out of touch” with Americans during a stop by MediasTouch’s “On Sunday” podcast.

Out of Touch..

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thinks Democrats complaining about the new slate of left-wing candidates gaining traction with voters need a reality check, calling the establishment “way, way, out of touch” with Americans during a stop by MediasTouch’s “On Sunday” podcast this weekend.

Sanders had a blunt answer when host Jack Cocchiarella asked the progressive patriarch what he’d say to members of the Democratic Party who are telling the rising faction of democratic socialists “if you’re not going to just fit in nicely with the Democratic establishment, you shouldn’t be a Democrat.”

Well, maybe the converse is true,” the two-time presidential contender replied.
“Maybe the Democratic establishment should begin to understand they are way, way, out of touch with where the American people are,” Sanders went on. “That we don’t need a party anymore which is dominated by wealthy campaign contributors.”

Is the party dissolving itself? Is it way.. way out of touch?  Just a thought.
