While a number of political leaders have pledged support for Mamdani, a significant faction is in full panic at the idea of a young Muslim democratic socialist taking control of City Hall without its help or permission. My latest in

Who’s Afraid of Zohran Mamdani?
The panic within the city Establishment is overblown.

Congratulations to

on a bold, hard-fought win. New Yorkers want leaders who challenge the status quo. I look forward to working with him to make our city more affordable, equitable, and just—for everyone who calls it home.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

Too many New Yorkers are under the impression that Cuomo would stand up to Trump because he, too, is a blustering, abusive person. But in reality, Cuomo is being backed by Trump donors. Trump recently said he likes him. Cuomo has avoided criticizing Trump or his authoritarian takeover.

From Abby’s Bakery in Los Fresnos to the Australian MMA coach to the El Salvador gulag, we see the cruelty, stupidity & lawlessness of Trump’s war on immigrants. The immigration issue can’t be ducked. It’s the beating heart of Trumpism. Confronting Trumpism means defending immigrants & immigration.

With tariffs, Trump is trading a strong economy for one run on loyalty and retribution. Tariffs scale his weaponization of government across the entire economy, with waivers for loyalists. But history shows that an economy run on favors is ultimately a poor one.

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points. She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine. “Deport Elon, Deport Elon!” Watch to the end…
