How much of Zohran Mamdani's ambitious agenda can he get done if he's elected mayor on Tuesday?

A lot โ€“ย and here's what it might look like:

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

In all three cases, the far-right position lost on a 2-1 vote:
- A George W. Bush appointee wrote the court's opinion (Richman in SB4; Southwick in AEA & WT)
- A Dem appointee joined (Ramirez in SB4 & AEA (in part); Dennis in WT)
- A Trump appointee dissented (Oldham in SB4 & AEA; Ho in WT)

โ€˜Where thereโ€™s a will, thereโ€™s a wayโ€™: Former Ag officials say USDA should keep food aid funded The nationโ€™s largest anti-hunger program is set to lapse Saturday, but the Trump administration has said it wonโ€™t tap emergency funds.

Former top USDA officials from both parties agree that the Trump admin should find a way to fund SNAP during the government shutdown.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

More big news: the Senate just passed my bipartisan resolution to end Trump's global tariffs. This is a huge win and shows how unpopular Trump's tariffs really are. Now it's time for Mike Johnson to abandon his 6 week vacation and get this passed in the House.

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options:

-Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others)
-"It's your job to be informed"
-"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?"
-"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often"
-"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that heโ€™d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

Dutch Voters Deliver Major Setback to Far-Right Party of Geert Wilders

Good news from Netherlands. By no means a great victory -- a small one, incomplete -- but a step in the right direction at a time when the wrong direction exerts so much gravity. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.
