2025 July
2025-07-14 The Trump administration allowed USAID food stocks for starving children to expire and be incinerated. Members who were left in USAID reached out to the Trump administration to ask for release of food stocks intended to feed 30,000+ starving children. The administration ignored the requests for weeks, allowed the food stock to expire, then announced it would incinerate the food. It was roughly 500 metric tons of food they allowed to spoil then incinerated, rather than feed hungry children.

2026-05-31 Minister Smotrich marched in the annual Israel Day parade in New York and received backlash for being uninvited due to sanctions for inciting violence against Palestinians and promoting genocide. Mamdani said, “You can see in the participation of the far-right Israeli minister Smotrich as well as a number of other ministers, a vision of annihilation, a complicity in genocide, and frankly a belief that does not have much value for even the sanctity of children in Gaza, and I am offended, as I know many New Yorkers are by their participation”.
