Trump’s Rage at Zohran Just Backfired in a Surprisingly Revealing Way The Democrats who are breaking through are the ones who talk about Trump’s disastrous economic record while also leveling with the public about our slide into authoritarianism.

When Trump threatens to nix funding to NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins, it only helps Zohran. It inflates the Trump threat, positions Zohran as a fighter for NYC against Trump, and pushes Cuomo into the role of Trump stooge.

There is very little precedent for the executive branch attempting to force states & localities to change their policies *after they've received the federal funds.*

Imagine if the Biden administration tried to restrict funding to Alabama because it restricted abortion access. It never happened.

This situation is a good example of why shutting down the government is logical: Right now, the Trump administration is acting as if it has 100% control of all federal spending, Congress & previous decisions be damned. If that executive overreach isn't addressed, why pass a spending bill?

The Corner Shop, Broughton, Salford, painting by Steven Scholes.

"A River Bank" by L.S. Lowry captures the industrial landscape of Northern England with its iconic smoke-filled sky and redbrick mills. The painting showcases Lowry's distinctive style of portraying bustling industry with simplified, almost abstract figures and structures.
