Just a heads-up that Zohran Mamdani will probably be sworn in on a Qur'an, and right-wing bigots' howls of protest in response to this will be audible from space.

Can we at least all agree that every trillionaire is a policy failure?

If the Democrats keep nominating charismatic candidates who actually like people, they're going to get massacred in 2026 and 2028. by Rahm Emanuel

It's getting harder to think of things that antisemites allege Jews do that aren't also things that Elon Musk and his tech bro friends actually do.

To mend rifts after the election, Zohran Mamdani should make Andrew Cuomo deputy mayor for lovely young co-eds. by Andrew Cuomo

It's fascinating to me that Fox political polls are legit while Harvard political polls are right-wing trash (because they sold the name to Mark Penn).

Mamdani won young men by 40 points. I feel like someone should explore that.

His fucked-up upbringing led him to believe that this is a show of strength.

Whoops! Never Mind. (new post) nomoremister.blogspot.com/2025/11/whoo...

Pelosi was great at whipping votes but pretty terrible at winning elections or constraining Trump. I think she’s largely responsible for the Dems’ conflict-avoidant anti-Trump strategy since 2019. It’s good she’s retiring, because we need a lot more of the constraining than the whipping right now

Also, Republicans live in an ideological bubble, so they expected a majority of voters to share this belief.

I wonder if the cilice on his thigh is drawing blood.

Over/under on when Ross Douthat writes his first column arguing that we should consider a repeal of women's suffrage?

The NYT tomorrow: Does menstruation really attract bears?

This is Murdoch-on-Musk violence and I am here for it. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Every day, as a Jew, I am going to call the ADL's tip line to report Mamdani anti-Semitism with at least three seismically moronic insights. I will begin with an accusation that the new mayor prefers strawberry and blueberry bagels to savory, and sometimes schmears butter. Fuck Jonathan Greenblatt.

Young Republicans leaders praise Nazis. Here’s why that’s bad news for Zohran Mamdani. by Jonathan Greenblatt

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. They’re not seeking facts, they’re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry. Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadership’s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

Doing this now seems performative. He could had just waited until the new mayor takes office in January, when many appointees will be replaced. I wonder if he wants to get to the Fox News green room first.

If you think the Supreme Court will save us from the tariffs, you should read this story, which explains that if the Court tells Trump he can't impose tariffs the way he's imposing them now, he can simply use other laws to do it anyway. (Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

oh my god they actually did it lmao

I continue to believe that the Trump *campaign* successfully convinced quite a lot of people that mass deportations did not mean mass deportations; that it meant targeted enforcement against “the bad guys.” The problem for the Trump *administration* is that no one believes that anymore.

It's genuinely weird how unaware he seems to be that he is offering the general electorate *nothing* positive. Maybe a result of surrounding himself with people and media sources who are convinced that all the "real" Americans love what he's doing, and that they're the silent majority?

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.* Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

True facts.

Trump Gave Carrots to Argentina. Milei Won. He Gave Sticks to Democratic States and Cities. Democrats Won. (new post) nomoremister.blogspot.com/2025/11/trum...

Trump used carrots to win the Argentinian election, but thought the GOP could win with nothing but sticks in Virginia (federal worker layoffs), New Jersey (Gateway Tunnel cancellation), and NYC (threats of a funding cutoff and ICE occupation). He hates Dems so much he didn't even try to bribe us.

You're pissed off about Johnson refusing to swear in Grijalva, but Texas Dem Sylvester Turner died in March and Greg Abbott delayed the election to replace him until yesterday - and because no one won a majority, he'll probably hold the runoff in January. Ten months! www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Farewell sweet Prince

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

Posted at Reddit under the headline "Today I drew what I assume Andrew Cuomo will look like watching the election results tonight." Looks about right. www.reddit.com/r/ZohranForM...

Historical perspective on Virginia election results- Abigail Spanberger is on track to win by the largest margin of any Democratic candidate for Governor since 1961, before the integration-era party realignment. Democrats will win their largest House of Delegates majority since 1987. A BIG night.

I better see no less than six stories this week in the NYT about Mamdani voters talking about their economic anxiety in Brooklyn diners and what the GOP can do to win them back.

So good.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Hard to overstate lack of salience of trans issue in new Washington Post/Schar poll of Virginia It actually went down in importance since their last poll It is top concern of 3% of voters This is after months of ads and posts about it Economy top concern at 18%

Decision Desk HQ has called the Virginia governors race for Spanberger. The millions of dollars in anti trans ads fell completely flat there.

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character

Sadly, I think this is a fake headline.

Australia's new "solar sharer" program will give households in NSW, south-east Queensland, and South Australia at least 3 hours of free solar power each day starting in 2026 -- even for those without rooftop panels. Other areas will potentially follow in 2027. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Nancy Mace is so crazy even her fellow GOP South Carolinian Sen. Tim Scott is calling her out on her wacky bullsh*t.

As if we don't all know who he voted for.

I'm very concerned about my party's popularity. that's why I constantly highlight internal divisions, stir up intrafactional strife, and loudly broadcast and complain about anything allegedly unpopular any party member has done, at any level of government
