That account, included in a new tranche of documents, conflicts with Trump’s denial of ever knowing about Epstein’s solicitation of underage prostitution before Epstein’s 2008 plea deal.

@FiorellaIsabelM This is the *politics* of a section of the upper middle class which is seeking to protect its privileges, organized in the #DSA & descended from the anti-communist state department socialism of Max Schachtman. Workers will reject #Mamdani for revolutionary socialist politics

The Socialist Equality Party does not call for a vote for Mamdani. His platform and program do not represent a way forward in the fight against oligarchy and dictatorship, but a political trap - The class issues in the New York City mayoral election https://t.co/eiaAVLeYBf

Support for the Mamdani campaign reflects a shift to the left among workers and youth, but Mamdani’s program does not represent a way forward in the fight against oligarchy and dictatorship.
