Scoop: Zohran Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for president, people familiar with the talks tell me.
He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum.
Behind closed doors, Mamdani has also said he's uncertain whether AOC will launch a White House run, the sources said.

Israel runs what Israeli rights group B'Tselem calls a network of torture camps, where it systematically starves, tortures and sexually assaults Palestinians. About half of the Palestinians at these camps have never been charged with any crime. Those who are charged face military courts where the conviction rate tops 99%. All are denied all family visits.
In June 1944, after pressure from Denmark and the Red Cross, Nazi Germany let the Red Cross tour Theresienstadt, its concentration camp-ghetto in occupied Czechoslovakia. To prepare, the Nazis ran a "beautification" campaign where they painted buildings, planted gardens and set up fake shops, a café and a school. To make the camp look less crowded, they deported about 7,500 prisoners to Auschwitz, the extermination camp. Then they walked the delegates past coached prisoners along a planned route. The Red Cross ended up writing a favorable report.
Israel staged its own version in September 2026. A Red Cross team toured parts of an unnamed military detention facility, its first since October 7, 2023, but unlike Nazi Germany, Israel did not feel the pressure to allow them to meet a single Palestinian detainee. More than three years after Israel cut off visits, the United States and its Western allies, Israel's main backers, haven't pressured Israel into allowing real visits to detainees, despite a June 2026 order from Israel's own Supreme Court.
On Oct. 25, the Red Cross once again noted that prison visits "have not yet resumed.” Read more on the treatment of Palestinians in these torture camps in the latest report below ⬇️
🚨80% of Palestinian Prisoners in Israeli Prisons Infected With Scabies, Amid Widespread Torture, Starvation and Violent Raids
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported Sunday that approximately 80% of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, including women and children, are infected with scabies, with authorities denying adequate treatment, clothing and hygiene facilities.
Based on lawyers’ visits throughout October and early November, PPS documented:
▪️ Violent raids every two to three days in some prison sections, with prisoners subjected to severe beatings, attacks by police dogs, rubber-coated bullets and gas.
▪️ Broken teeth and ribs, severed hand tendons, burns and extensive bruising, with injured prisoners denied necessary surgeries and medical care.
▪️ Systematic food deprivation, with prisoners receiving severely inadequate quantities and quality of food.
▪️ Severe overcrowding, forcing prisoners to sleep on floors while guards confiscate mattresses during the day.
▪️ Women prisoners at Damon Prison suffering painful skin infections, severe itching, sleep deprivation and inadequate healthcare. Israeli prison authorities reportedly dismiss confirmed scabies infections as allergies.
▪️ October 28 raid at Naqab Prison: Israeli forces fired rubber-coated bullets and sprayed gas at prisoners, injuring three and severely beating others.
Separately, Palestinian rights organization Al-Dameer warned that prisoners at Naqab Prison are being denied winter clothing despite falling temperatures, with scabies causing painful boils, blisters and skin sores.
More than 9,300 Palestinians, including approximately 90 women, are currently imprisoned by Israel, according to PPS.
The organization described the abuses as a systematic campaign of torture, starvation and medical neglect intended to destroy Palestinian prisoners physically and psychologically.

BREAKING: Trump now endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying the people who want full deportations are on the "pretty far right," after losing the midterms.
He admits in a 60 Minutes interview that his immigration policy "was too tough" and "ultimately that hurt me," and says "illegals" who have been in the US for 10-15 years, such as hotel workers and landscapers, should have an opportunity to stay.
"Let the people that are here, and in some cases here for 10 and 15 years, work a deal for them," Trump says, adding that "people have already called me," including Democrat James Talarico.

Confirmed --this really happened. They were not authorized to do it and the purpose is unclear.
Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

Five Palestinians, including four children and a woman, have been killed after a sand dune collapsed onto tents sheltering displaced families in central Gaza, local correspondent for Al Jazeera reports. Other reports indicate six people injured and hospitalized in critical condition.
Israel has destroyed their homes, forced them into makeshift camps and continues to restrict the entry of shelter materials and rescue machinery.
For the fourth consecutive winter, Palestinian children are dying in conditions Israel has imposed, while President Trump’s so-called @BoardOfPeace fails to secure even the most basic entry of aid and protections for civilians.
Palestinian aid organizers tell Drop Site that this is the entirely foreseeable, repeatedly forewarned consequence of Israel’s destruction of Gaza and the failure of those claiming to oversee the ceasefire and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.
💢 BREAKING: A sand dune has collapsed onto tents sheltering two Palestinian families in Gaza following heavy rainfall. The bodies of two children have already been brought to Nasser Hospital.
Israel and the @BoardOfPeace continue to block the entry of heavy machinery needed to rescue Palestinian families trapped in such disasters, while also blocking tents and mobile homes desperately needed for shelter.

At least three children have been killed in Gaza in the past 24 hours as heavy rains and bitter cold batter displaced families in makeshift tents. For the fourth consecutive winter, Palestinians are being denied adequate shelter as Israel continues to block the entry of tents, mobile homes and other essential materials, with President Trump’s @BoardOfPeace failing to press for their delivery despite trucks waiting at Gaza’s borders.
