I think the tiny faction on my side already trying to eat our own before Zohran even assumes office are some of the most unserious people in human history — terminally and perpetually addicted to losing. Seek therapy.

Reporter: “Does New York City love President Trump?”
Zohran Mamdani: “New York City loves a future that is affordable and I can tell you more New Yorkers voted for President Trump in the most recent presidential election because of the cost-of-living. I’m looking forward to working together to deliver on that affordability agenda.”
President Trump: “I got a lot of votes.”

It is pretty wild to tweet this and then become his vice president. Absolutely no principles.

Look, if we remove the slippery slope fallacy from the list of logical fallacies, then before you know it we’ll be removing all the other informal fallacies from the list and will soon forget the very concept of an informal fallacy altogether.

4 days out from my life-changing surgery, @Aetna has denied the appeal for my brain surgery.
to be clear, when i signed up to aetna months ago, the coordinator had confirmed they would cover this surgery. then, a week ago, they said the surgery was too experimental/elective and denied coverage. we appealed. that appeal was just denied today.
now, my neurosurgeon is trying to do a peer-to-peer consult with someone at aetna to explain why i need it so we don’t lose the surgery date on monday morning. aetna is not being responsive.
this is sadistic and a violation of basic trust. please spread this so they can’t ignore it. they may not care if i live or die but people should know just what kind of company they’re dealing with. and please pray they are able to have a peer-to-peer consult with my neurosurgeon and have a change of heart.

Pope Leo has called for “deep reflection” on the treatment of migrants in the United States.
Speaking to journalists in Castel Gandolfo, just outside Rome, the Pope said that “many people who have lived for years and years” in the US, “never causing problems”, are “deeply affected” by the current situation.
The Pope was responding to a question from a journalist concerning the fact that Catholic migrants detained in Chicago have been denied access to Holy Communion. He went on to stress the importance of protecting the “spiritual rights” of migrant detainees.

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."

This is why you lost
I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Vice President Cheney was a devoted public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the country he loved.
Doug and I are keeping Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and the entire Cheney family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

More people voted on the final day of early voting in the 2025 mayoral general election (151K) than in the final day of early voting in the 2024 presidential general election (149K).
That is insane.
2 million total votes is well within reach.

Surely it can’t be wage stagnation since the 1970s. It absolutely can’t be that automation and outsourcing killed good jobs. It’s definitely not wealth concentrating at the top.
It must be millions of people are committing fraud.
