Defeat Isn't Enough For Andrew Cuomo And His Pack Of Lunatics | Defector
A New York City mayoral election is, definitionally, not anyone outside of the city’s business. That this year’s campaign, which ended in Zohran Mamdani’s victory on Tuesday night, became everybody’s…

NYC Democratic electeds who oppose Mamdani at this point are making a very risky bet. They are just asking to be primaried if he wins, as he is most likely will.
They should go ask the IDC how much Democratic primary voters like Democrats who ally with conservatives to block other Dems.

Every single Democratic elected who represents NYC should be proudly endorsing Zohran Mamdami, who won the primary fair & square. They should be helping him however he & his team ask.
If they mealy-mouth it or, worse, stand with Cuomo, *they* will be why people hate the party.

NEW from me: Cuomo will NOT drop out tomorrow by the deadline to pull out of the general election.
Still deciding on keeping going on his own line, but he sees a path through a wider general electorate and more scrutiny on Mamdani.

Several Democrats in power have revealed themselves to share Trump’s hostility to the American values of equality and pluralism. They should be opposed and rebuked just as vehemently.
At 24m, she claims that it doesn't matter "the meaning that is in your brain; it matters how it is received".... in the very same speech in which she repeats Islamophobic tropes about Zohran Mamdani.
Does she apply that standard to her own Islamophobia? Or is it only used to attack Muslims?

been getting yelled at for almost five months now about how "there's nothing Democrats can do, they're in the minority" and yet WHEN they can block bad Republican legislation what are they doing? passing it
Dammit. In other disheartening news, looks like the Senate voted for cloture on the awful Genius Act. Couldn’t have done it without Democratic help. Vote is still coming in. Unofficial tally 60 to 29 so far

What a statement from 84-year-old Dem Rep. Jim Clyburn:
“Nancy left her seat. Steny left his seat. I left my seat. What the hell I’m supposed to do now?” Clyburn said when asked whether the party needed to think of bringing in younger members. “What do you want—me to give up my life?”

Americans make 1930s Germany comparisons because it’s one of the only historical moments they know (however superficially) but the Cultural Revolution, Great Leap Forward and breakdown of government legitimacy during the French Revolution seem more apt.
In its own way, this is as damaging as what is happening at NIH, CDC, USAID, elsewhere. Even tariffs.
It's the Cultural Revolution. Year Zero.
And GOP grins and claps.

Eggs were $6.49/dozen at the Aldi in Burbank last weekend which was so shocking that all the customers actually started talking to each other www.latimes.com/california/s...
Nearly $9 a dozen: Why egg prices are skyrocketing and for how long?
Bird flu is wreaking havoc on California farms and consequently raising the price of eggs. Prices also spiked because of the high demand during the holidays.

The injury risk in 3-4 postseason games seems like a bigger problem for this format than lopsided scores.
Bunch of players getting hurt in these first-round games is why getting a bye is such a big deal.

Outside of not reelecting Eric Adams, the single most important thing to accomplish next year is ending Andrew Cuomo's public career for good. He must be stopped. He would be disastrous for the city.
