Ok who put this on the marquee literally right outside the window of my office
When I hear people say that Trump hasn't accomplished much (an argument that comes from both the center and the left) it is mind-boggling. In one year they have destroyed the foundation of climate regulation, crippled the public health system, and brought immigration to a standstill.

I usually avoid sharing what feels like "inside baseball" political analysis here, but this merits an exception because of the stakes + scale involved.
Zohran isn't "wrong" to endorse Hochul; he has no choice. But for primary voters to back Hochul would definitely be unwise. Let me explain why. 🧵

NEW: Mayor Mamdani is set to endorse Gov. Hochul’s reelection run this week, providing her a critical inroad with progressive voters, per four sources.
It deals a near fatal blow to Antonio Delgado's campaign.

People keep talking about how decentralized the resistance is in MN, and yes there is no singular figure, committee, or group coordinating all things. That's very different than there being no structures (plural), groups (plural), or leaders (plural) keeping things going and building things further.

It took a general strike for these CEOs to say anything at all. And their response is essentially “get back to work.”
