 She’s the power behind the red curtain.

Zohran Mamdani’s secretive newly named chief of staff Elle Bisgaard-Church is a Democratic Socialists of America true believer who convinced the far-left group to back him for mayor and helped craft his “Department of Community Safety,” insiders said.

The two 34-year-olds forged similar paths to the heights of New York City political power — cutting their teeth in antiwar and pro-Palestinian college campus activism and toiling in lefty nonprofits before making the leap into state government.

“Few have played a more central role in this movement, or in every victory we have achieved together in the Assembly, than Elle,” Mamdani gushed Monday, with Bisgaard-Church standing serenely by his side as he announced her elevation to City Hall chief of staff.

This would have forced the White House to find an additional $4 billion in funding.

With the government shutdown ending, the judge’s ruling may no longer have any practical effect, as the continuing resolution ensures full funding for SNAP.

The brief Court order revealed that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the extension: Read more see X and videos here.
