This one is short, but positive! Read it!

YES: Instead of decisions handed down by an unelected billionaire, Mamdani's Commission on Government Efficiency — dubbed the "socialist DOGE" — just turned input from real people into five ballot measures headed to New York voters this November.
In a truly democratic process (the complete opposite of Musk's DOGE), the commission held ten public hearings across all five boroughs.
Over 1,200 New Yorkers showed up. 264 testified in person. 603 more submitted written testimony.
What's actually on the ballot: cutting permit processes down from eight months to two. Speeding up bike and bus lane construction by at least a third. Combining 40 separate approvals from 18 different agencies into one process for housing permits. Saving small businesses up to $1,800 in application costs. Setting up New York's first real rainy day fund target.
No mass firings. No unelected billionaire making the calls behind closed doors. Just months of public hearings, then real proposals for voters to decide on. In record time.
Mamdani is setting the national blueprint for Democrats — as a socialist mayor, no less — to achieve government efficiency and cut red tape.
While Musk's DOGE gutted federal agencies, fired thousands of workers, and delivered chaos with zero public input (while somehow saving no money), Zohran Mamdani is building actual efficiency — and letting New Yorkers set the table.
