1) The NYC election was a three-way race, and
2) Mamdani was undermined by Democratic party leaders.
Those feel like pertinent context.

Btw, the press obsessing about Mamdani seems weird. He seriously underperformed the Democratic vote in NYC compared to recent elections, barely scraping 50%. Moderate Democrats in VA and NJ dramatically overperformed. That seems the real story

ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier).
People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters.
That’s how you convert a democracy into something else.
Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

I am so tremendously thankful that JB Pritzker is my Governor.
When he ran I was extremely skeptical but he has proven to be an amazing leader time and time again.
Friends outside of Illinois: I know you are skeptical of him because he is a billionaire but watch his actions. They speak volumes.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:
"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
