incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Trump just stands there holding onto the desk and RFKJr watches for a few seconds as others help, then walks away. It's all there in one video. They don't care about US. And the chyron!! KLOMP: RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS HEALTHIER AMERICANS

And Trump just stands there, holding onto the desk for balance.

"The student’s mother was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for felony child neglect and federal weapons charges. Her son told authorities he got his mother’s handgun by climbing onto a drawer to reach the top of a dresser, where the firearm was in his mom’s purse." @momsdemand.bsky.social

Many elements in this story are incomprehensible to people outside the US.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

Someone this old and so obviously in ill health who gets this confused about things that matter would not be allowed to hold a job with responsibility in any other part of American society.

An honor to get momos with our Mayor-elect today! 🥟🗽🌹 #TeamNoSleep

This is delusional. Does any serious economist believe this? The president is off his rocker, and the GOP is too scared to acknowledge that.

"..it wasn’t his charm that won him the election. His secret sauce was simple: a message of hope, a platform with a vision, and a willingness to listen to the needs of everyday New Yorkers."

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Last night. Today 😀

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

“Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist & state assembly member, was able to defeat the moneyed & powerful Cuomo dynasty. And he was victorious despite record-shattering political spending from the former governor’s fundraising apparatus, including the biggest super PAC in New York’s history.”

Immigrants? In New York City???? sorry i've never read a book so this sounds scary and strange to me bsky.app/profile/park...

"an election that seemed poised to illuminate the Democratic Party’s fractures" Good grief. Pundits suffering from twitter brain & bad GOP polling missed that the building anger across the country was going to be evident on election day. Get out of your bubbles & start paying attention.

“Just last week, two American Jewish women volunteering with RHR in the West Bank were deported, a clear attempt to intimidate activists. Meanwhile, settlers like the two who harassed us today carry on with impunity.” —Jill Jacobs, @truahrabbis.bsky.social www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Zohran Mamdani has won more votes than people who live in the following states: South Dakota North Dakota Alaska Vermont Wyoming He will soon pass Delaware. Could also pass Montana and Rhode Island.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

If you're a Jewish New Yorker who can't understand why people in your city voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , ask your children. They probably did too.

Because he's more interested in defending Israel's impunity to commit war crimes than in defending American democracy

Voters might not be happy with the Democratic Party, but this election proves that they know good Democratic candidates and messaging when they see them, and they’ll show up. Grow this energy for 2026!

When people stand up, speak out, and get involved - we move our country forward.

A very, very good night to all. @swin24.bsky.social

Dems, You don’t have to throw trans people under the bus to win elections. Voters don’t hate trans people as much as Republicans have convinced you they do. They just don’t. So stop falling for this false dichotomy of either supporting trans 🏳️‍⚧️ rights & dignity or winning elections. You can do both.

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

Did Schumer endorse Mamdani yet?

Zohran Mamdani: "So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social knows that safety for any of us depends on safety for all of us. He will fight antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, and all forms of bigotry. Our futures are intertwined. Mazel tov, Mayor Mamdani.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

“In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light.” Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Tonight, big money, big media, and big politics lost in New York City. They got beat BIG by Zohran Mamdani and by New York City voters.

It's real.

Volunteers in the room breathing this moment in. Thank you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Zohran, projected winner!! Yes, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Mayor of the great City of NY!!!

Ok so it’s early but Mamdani is at 51.8% and there is joy in the room.

I’m at a joyful Zohran watch party at a local Manhattan Valley bar. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , bless your heart. The gorgeous mosaic is shining bright.

One shift to go! To my fellow Jews: Have no fear! A good guy from Morningside Heights, now living in Astoria, is going to be our next mayor. 💙🧡💜 Hopping on the bus which is still slow and costs $2.90, to do more door-knocking. Go @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Vision and inclusive strategy lead to victory. NYC is so excited to get out and vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, our next mayor! open.substack.com/pub/jaysiega...

Government is not our family. Our families are our families. And ghouls like Johnson and MAGA want to make our families suffer. That's politics today. Dems want to help make people's lives better. Republicans want government that helps make billionaires richer at the expense of all of us.

Also, one thing that Dick Cheney and Donald Trump have in common, aside from the penchant for abusing the presidency: they both chose to squander a key window in shifting to renewable energy, imagining it would shore up US power.
