I'd think a lot of the swing toward D's has to do with the cacophony of issues going on thanks to an all R government. Plus, the President ran on making things cost less, and, it could be argued, is doing everything to do the opposite of that and people are mad!

I really don’t understand this “one or the other” framing I see everywhere. It’s in NY Magazine, too! Mamdani might not be what’s needed in say, Texas and that’s FINE!

All of the documentary footage I've seen of people coming off boats at Ellis Island at the turn of the 20th C was probably doctored

A million people will leave New York? The rich will flee en masse? Pfft. I live on the Upper East Side. I'm at Citarella now. The blonde women in the New York or Nowhere hats on their way back from pilates are not pulling their kids out of Buckley and Spence to find out how the sushi is in Delaware.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

Interesting. Now that polling shows that voters are largely blaming the GOP for the shutdown, Trump is calling for the Senate to use the nuclear open and reopen the government.

Before, he was telling us he GOP to “hold firm” and not cave to anything Dems wanted.

The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

"At the same time, Mr. Xi also seemed to grasp what Mr. Trump needed, a deal that he could sell as a victory at home. The outcome allowed Mr. Trump to claim a win for American farmers and companies, even though China had largely restored the status quo..."
