A nonprofit organization in New York City has been caught on camera advising a supposed noncitizen to illegally vote in the mayoral election for Zohran Mamdani.
According to footage released by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), an undercover journalist posing as an unregistered immigrant approached the nonprofit’s director, asking how to cast a ballot — and who to vote for.
The director allegedly explained how the journalist could navigate the system to vote despite not being a citizen and hinted at which candidate to choose, saying he should vote for the one whose name starts with “M.”
James O’Keefe, founder of the undercover investigative journalism organization, posted the video to X, with the caption: “La Jornada Executive Director Pedro Rodriguez Tells Undercover OMG Journalist Posing as an Unregistered Migrant to ‘Vote for the Guy That Starts with ‘M’ – Despite 501(c)(3) Regulation Prohibiting Political Activity by Tax-Exempt Organizations. Rodriguez Acknowledges Knowing the Individual Is ‘Not Registered’ Before Advising him How to Vote – a Potential Violation of Federal & State Election Laws.”
It’s illegal to vote in New York City elections as a non-citizen, but the voter ID mechanisms are not particularly strong, either.
The video shows the director of the nonprofit “La Jornada” – which boasts a focus on “assisting migrants with their paperwork and legal needs” – talking to the journalist posing as the immigrant.
Mike Casey, the correspondent, told Rodriguez, “Yes, I’m an immigrant. They sent me here to vote. I was recommended to come here to find information to vote. I was given two, dos locations. Forgive me, I am, no Espanol.”
Rodriguez responded, “No, this is perfect for me,” before asking the undercover journalist when he registered to vote.
“I did not, I didn’t sign anything. They just told me to come here to vote,” Casey said.
“You’re not registered? Okay,” the director says. OMG reported that even though the journalist posing as the unregistered immigrant was not in a legal voting status, he was nonetheless instructed to go vote at a local community college.
“It’s three guys. The guy that starts with ‘M,’” Rodriguez instructed.
The only candidate in the race was Zohran Mamdani, who wound up blowing out his opponents to become mayor-elect on Tuesday.
When O’Keefe and his team later confronted Rodriguez, the nonprofit’s director, he denied ever instructing the undercover journalist to vote for Mamdani — despite the fact that the reporter had clearly posed as an illegal immigrant in the recorded exchange.
Mamdani, a self-described “democratic socialist,” is now set to run New York City, the financial capital of America and, arguably, of the free world.
Just the News has reportedly obtained internal documents from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) outlining how the group’s New York City chapter, to which Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani belongs, plans to pressure him into implementing sweeping anti-Israel policies throughout city governance and public life.
Mamdani, who defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa on Tuesday, has long been a fixture in the DSA, where he’s listed as one of nine “New York State Socialists in Office.” The organization, which is decidedly anti-Israel, played a key role in his campaign, backing him in both the Democratic primary and the general election.
During the mayoral race, Mamdani attempted to downplay his ties to the group’s more radical and revolutionary platform — and, according to Politico, the NYC DSA branch actively helped him do so by providing public cover to make his campaign appear more moderate than it truly was.
According to the “Socialists in Office” website, the group is composed of “DSA-endorsed elected officials who work together in the New York State Legislature to advance a socialist vision for working-class people across our state” — and among those featured is Mamdani.

A phone call that lasted just minutes may have set in motion one of the most unconventional political strategies in modern American history. The conversation between two of the most powerful Republicans in Washington has sparked discussions about rewriting the playbook for how political parties approach midterm elections, potentially creating a spectacle that could reshape the entire electoral landscape.
The implications of this strategic shift extend far beyond typical campaign tactics, representing a fundamental reimagining of how political momentum is built and sustained in the modern era. What started as a spontaneous idea during a brief phone conversation could evolve into a game-changing moment that defines not just the 2026 midterms, but the future of American political campaigning itself.
House Speaker Mike Johnson found himself in Detroit on what seemed like a routine political trip when his phone rang. On the other end was President Donald Trump, and what followed was a conversation that would soon capture the attention of political strategists, party leaders, and observers across the nation.
“He called me 15 minutes before that Truth and he said, ‘Mike, I’ve got a great idea,’” Johnson recounted during a Fox News interview, his enthusiasm evident as he described the moment that could mark a turning point in Republican political strategy.
The idea Trump proposed was audacious in its simplicity and unprecedented in its scope: hold a presidential-style Republican National Convention before the 2026 midterm elections. Not a rally, not a series of campaign events, but a full-scale national convention designed to generate the kind of energy and media attention typically reserved for presidential nomination contests.
Johnson’s immediate response revealed the kind of political instinct that has made him one of Trump’s most trusted allies in Congress. “Let’s have it. I’m so excited about this. I said, ‘Mr. President, let’s go.’ Because I think that would be such a great rallying point right before the midterm election for us to tout all the great successes we’ve had,” Johnson explained.
The spontaneity of the conversation belies the calculated political thinking behind the concept. Both leaders understand that midterm elections traditionally favor the opposition party, and they’re looking for ways to break that historical pattern through unprecedented means.
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar visited the site of Wednesday’s tragic attack at Annunciation Catholic School and Church, where two children lost their lives and 17 others were injured.
Omar, who represents the district, spoke with reporters outside the church on Thursday. “My heart breaks for the families and the victims of this tragic mourning year in Minneapolis,” she said. “We are going to learn more about motives and what more can be done to make sure we can avoid tragedies like this.”
She later shared a longer statement across her social media accounts: “I am beyond heartbroken over the tragic news of the shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The loss of life is unthinkable. As a mom and Minneapolis resident, my heart is utterly shattered. I will keep praying for all the families impacted by this tragedy.”
Omar added: “I am especially thinking of the two beautiful children who lost their lives in this senseless act of violence. While we do not yet know the shooter’s specific motivations, we do know that children and schools are all too often the victims of horrific violence in this country.”
BREAKING: Lady Gaga Offers to Sing at Philadelphia Eagles’ 2025 Season Opener and Sponsor the Team in Exchange for Pro-LGBT Ad — CEO Jeffrey Lurie’s Response Leaves NFL SpeechlessIn a stunning move that has shaken both the NFL and the entertainment world, pop icon Lady Gaga has made a bold offer to the Philadelphia Eagles — and her proposal is sparking headlines worldwide.
According to inside reports, Gaga approached the Eagles’ front office with a once-in-a-lifetime package deal:
Never one to shy away from bold statements, Lady Gaga’s offer combines her love for performance with her long history of LGBTQ+ advocacy. Insiders say she believes that football, one of America’s most-watched sports, is the perfect platform to amplify messages of love, acceptance, and pride.
“She doesn’t just want to sing,” one source revealed. “She wants to make the NFL a stage for something bigger than football — a stage for change.”
But what really set the NFL world ablaze was the reaction of Eagles owner and CEO Jeffrey Lurie. Known for his progressive stance and willingness to embrace cultural shifts, Lurie reportedly responded with words that left NFL executives speechless:
“If football is about family, then every family deserves a seat at the table. Lady Gaga has my support.”
The statement, now circulating across social media, has ignited a storm of excitement among Eagles fans and equality advocates — while simultaneously sparking heated debates among NFL insiders wary of breaking tradition.
The ripple effects of this news are enormous. If Gaga’s deal goes through, the Eagles’ 2025 opener could become one of the most politically and culturally charged games in NFL history. Sponsors are already scrambling to measure the impact, while fans across Philadelphia are buzzing about the possibility of seeing Gaga take the stage in midnight green.
Social media erupted within minutes, with hashtags like #GagaEagles, #FlyPrideFly, and #NFLForAll trending worldwide. Some fans are calling it the “greatest crossover in sports and music history,” while critics warn the NFL may be stepping into uncharted territory.
No official confirmation has been made, but league executives are said to be meeting privately to discuss the proposal. One thing is certain: if Lady Gaga and Jeffrey Lurie get their way, the 2025 season opener won’t just be about football — it’ll be about rewriting the rules of what the NFL represents.
