In light of yesterday’s blue tsunami 🌊 this is even more encouraging. Yes, keep the faith!!

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.”

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Absolutely! 💯 🎯 💯 🎯 💯 🎯 💯

Finally, news to really, heartily celebrate!

"I'll give it to you ladies." Mansplain away, my man.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

Nice article, nice (brief) 🧵.

Absolutely. These races were all called more quickly than I expected. What a freaking relief it is to not be disappointed. How sad is that?! Can't be sad at the moment, though! 🇺🇲

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

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.

WHAT DAY IS IT?” Panel 2: A small Muppet boy standing in the snow replies, “WHY TODAY? TODAY IS DICK CHENEY DIED DAY!” Panel 3: Scrooge smiles joyfully from the window, saying, “THEN I HAVEN’T MISSED IT!”

Cuomo, once again being reminded, in a ruinous fashion, that no means no.

YESSSSSSS!!!!!

Lot better than last year. At last---movement in the right direction. Pretty sharp movement, too!

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

None of the winners tonight have fixed anything yet, and they didn't win magic wands, but . . . there is so much good news here tonight in the midst of our long national nightmare. Almost makes me feel hopeful!

I'm just here waiting on the results.

That's OK, though. The whole country doesn't suddenly have to move this far left to improve by leaps and bounds, but starting the move back in that direction might be even more important than the magnitude of the move. And this particular one IS pretty big!!

I love this bravo to Mamdani, but I don't agree with the last sentence. New York City is really not like "anywhere" in the country, to varying degrees.

It has to be bird shot, not bullets, though. 🤣

As I said, they strike a much more joyful tone than the NYT.

From the New Yorker yesterday. Their coverage of this is strikingly more cheerful than that of the NYT.

The Mamdani Era Begins His opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayor—they wanted Zohran Mamdani.

Wow, what a contrast from the NYT coverage! Wording AND choice of photo.
