QUEENS, New York (WABC) -- The Governor's Ball, dubbed "Gov Ball," announced their 2026 lineup this week and tickets went on sale Thursday morning.

Democratic Socialists including Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorse Claire Valdez for a New York congressional seat, indicating the movement's growing influence in local politics.

Six people were hurt, almost all of them firefighters, when giant orange flames tore through a residential building in Queens overnight, displacing residents and raining debris, authorities say.

Queens had a significant amount of housing units enter the pre-development stage, enter construction and be completed during the third quarter of 2025,

And for that inauguration ceremony, Mamdani ordered catering from one of his favorite restaurants, the 24/7 Jackson Heights spot Kabab King. A feast of chicken, samosas, and biryani paired up with tea and coffee from Yemeni coffee chain Qahwah House (which has locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens).

Police responded to a residence on 157th Street in the South Jamaica neighborhood, where they found the child unresponsive and the mother with slash injuries to her wrists. The child was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital, where the mother was also taken in stable condition, according to the NYPD.
