On Wednesday, according to ABC7NY, he unveiled a star-studded Inaugural Committee packed with boldface names like YouTuber Ms. Rachel, actress Cynthia Nixon, jazz legend Sonny Rollins, and comedian The Kid Mero, all set to host his swearing-in block party on January 1 in the Canyon of Heroes.

CBS News details the free Broadway block party from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., promising music, interfaith vibes, and a nod to working New Yorkers, as Mamdani put it: a celebration of the movement we built.

At a December 22 presser, Mamdani fired back at the ADL for blurring antisemitism with Israel criticism, while J Street defended him against their Mamdani Monitor. Commentary Magazine slammed it as no mere hiring hiccup but core to his anti-Zionist circles. Outgoing Mayor Eric Adams attendance remains unclear, with amNY noting his fears of protests. No fresh public appearances or social media pops this week, but Al Jazeera recapped his shock rise on December 26. As January 1 nears, Mamdani eyes efficiency wins like enforcing landlord laws, per Mother Jones, amid Jewish leaders worries over safety plans from Times of Israel. The buzz?
