He's just a damn good politician. I do not agree with him on several issues, but would vote for him in a heartbeat.
Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Legitimately surprised to see Pritzker and Johnson side by side considering they hate each other.

Sex toys are being hurled on the court at WNBA games. A cryptocurrency group says they're behind it – and planning for more.
The group says the acts are "pranks" intended to draw attention to their crypto meme coin and not meant to disrespect women athletes.
