Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

the tell here is that Americans once again elected a rapist

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

#tbt sorry we missed this, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.

They need to steal all the world's IP, and get all the world's money for free, to be successful at their business. They are geniuses.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

This implies he was trying to act normal and not-corrupt before...?

They thought the right was the path to having a good time with the fellas and found nothing but weird nerds backstabbing each other. Hard not to notice the socialists laughing and high fiving in their peripheral vision

everyone breaking their vows to never again stan a politician

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

Mamdani's victory wasn't only a repudiation of an old and exhausted political establishment in the city, it was also a triumph over the framing power of the political press, and none more so than the New York Times, whose coverage and editorials worked relentlessly to dampen his appeal.

This morning I am thinking of one of my nephew’s friends, a trans kid in Virginia who’d been saying worrying, self-harming things recently such that my nephew felt he had to tell adults. That kid just lived through months of ads from a gov candidate saying he shouldn’t exist. She lost soundly.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Speaking as a Virginian: this is so fucking nuts

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

the ultimate victors tonight: the righteous haters 💖

the only thing on the ballot!!

Eugene Debs quote in the first sentence 🤌🤌🤌🤌

they really need to sell these

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social please do your speech so I can go to sleep

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

It’s not the biggest story of the night but shout out to @bradlander.bsky.social for what he did in the primary & after supporting @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Having a Jewish New Yorker stand up for & alongside with Zohran (not to mention immigrants in NYC) has been so inspiring.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

This 31-year-old with an absolute unit of a beard is still the youngest-ever mayor of New York City

Might have to buy and frame this one

Among other things, I’m excited for the incredible talent a Mamdani administration will attract to city government. Twill be lit.

Incredible mom energy from Mira Nair

as i've been saying for weeks, he has broken 50% and this is going to be important his ability to control the narrative after tonight

Not only did Zohran win, but Cuomo lost 🤌

THEY'RE PLAYING NOT LIKE US AT THE MAMDANI CAMPAIGN RALLY

America may still be mostly bad, but New York? New York is good.

a mayor who takes the NYC hierarchy seriously

Fuck Andrew Cuomo forever.

My dog’s excited about Mayor Mamdani on the inside

Let’s not forget this is the last night of Jessica Ramos’s political career

i’m just basking in the knowledge that lots of bad people across the nation are absolutely freaking out right now

An “all you fascists bound to lose” sort of night
