What does Mamdani’s win mean for progressives all over the country?
Zohran Mamdani's win in New York is instructive for both progressive and centrist Democrats. America wants progressive change without fear.

The MBDA went from nearly 100 employees to just a few.
You don’t gut an agency like that unless you’re trying to kill its mission.
