Deal has been reached, I’m told by multiple sources, and Kaine has announced his support

So how do you get good at pool?

George Santos lived in Huntington, Long Island before becoming a member of Congress. He lived in the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey after that.

It’s bad!! On several levels!!

In its article about how mainstream conservative figures are laundering white supremacy, The New York Times quotes, as its very first expert, the racist Richard Hanania. Just wild. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Even before SNAP was withheld and before flights were cancelled, Americans were increasingly skeptical about Trump/GOP handling of the shutdown in particular. www.pbump.net/o/the-shutdo...

"In a country with some 175 million voters, DSA’s membership is tiny. But it punches far above its weight, and my hope is that Mamdani’s extraordinarily buzzy win inspires a wider swath of Americans to consider democratic socialism. What better time than now?" www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Goldman is gonna have his work cut out for him against Lander if Lander runs.

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

This is pretty powerfully put. This also feels unusually poetic for Bernie.

Abundance types get very worked up about left Nimbys, anti-gentrification activists, etc. But this is deeply misleading when it comes to the actual politics of housing, at least in New York. Opposition to new housing comes overwhelmingly from the Right.

Here’s a map of the vote on the housing proposals, districts voting Yes in green. (For proposal 2, but 3 and 4 are the same.) What’s noteworthy about it is this: It’s almost identical to a map of districts voting for Mamdani.

Forgot to share this earlier, from me: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ? yeah, about that

Lots of interesting stuff in this clip: * CNBC host says Zohran used the Tisch appointment to get elected * Kathy Wylde is in full-on Zohran surrogate mode, bridges the conversation towards the use of AI in negative advertisements * Wylde says Tisch was #1 ask for Z from NYC big biz

Seems Jessica Tisch will in fact be Zohran’s first police commissioner.

Have to wonder why the ADL isn't creating a Heritage Foundation or student GOP tracker

Seems the ADL is creating a Canary Mission-like project specifically to police the ideology of Zohran’s hires. h/t @jacobkornbluh.bsky.social @petersterne.com

If you’re new to socialism, I highly recommend checking out this excellent new piece from @zeeshanaleem.bsky.social about Zohran and the near future of the movement. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This is old, but I hadn't tracked all of these -- still reeling that this man was trying to become mayor of *new york city* www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p...

Van Jones on Mamdani's speech: “I think he missed an opportunity. I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech." I can't wrap my mind around this comment. nypost.com/2025/11/05/m...

Antonia Hylton shares the interesting observation that a significant number of New York City voters are interested in sending a message to the Democratic Party as they are in sending a message to Donald Trump with their votes.

In a narrow sense the facts Clinton mentions have some truth to them. But the way she's *stringing the facts together* implies that there's a causal link between foreign-funded propaganda on TikTok and and changes in opinion on Israel. That's not a defensible claim and it's also terrible analysis.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

I have no illusions about the road ahead, but the mayoral primary and today are the only times I've been excited to vote in my life.

I would say crafting elaborate lies to launch a catastrophic war of aggression -- and never being held to account for it -- is a crisis of American democracy.

Cuomo's closing argument appears to be that a vote for him is a vote for collaboration with a fascistic regime, which will be more peaceful for New Yorkers.

Jonathan Greenblatt doing clean-up for Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation is the same as Kevin Roberts doing clean-up for Tucker Carlson is the same as Tucker Carlson doing clean-up for Nick Fuentes

I'm not sure who Matt is referring to here, but there is a contingent of anti-popularist people who believe that voter preferences matter but are unfixed and receptive to persuasion.

we live in hell

It struck me the other day that there's a reason that Zohran Mamdani's celebrity in New York is so arresting. All kinds of famous people live in and visit the city, and for the most part, even when they're recognized, they are left alone or fully ignored.

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre" www.thesocialpost.it/2025/11/02/f...

I certainly get why "preachy" is annoying, but I would certainly not come to this conclusion if I had to choose between these two when it comes to *running the government* and *access to the most powerful nuclear arsenal in the world*. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/o...

The US isn't giving Sudan+Syria weapons to commit those crimes. If Michael Oren is concerned about Sudan, he should urge Israel to impose sanctions on the UAE, which is arming genocidal militias there. But he couldn't care less about Sudan. It's a transparent effort to deflect criticism of Israel.

The completely uncritical framing here reminds of Iraq war reporting www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

A lot of people here don't know that in many South Asian cultures, this is literally *the accurate terminology* for referring to an aunt. So this isn't even something like a casual drift in terminology, or loosely referring to a loved one as an aunt or an uncle.

Absolutely mind-boggling that this insane rhetoric is coming from a professional communicator.

humiliating interview. KJP is a remarkable figure honestly.
