Quite an observation by @johnarnoldfndtn.bsky.social over on the other app. Maybe we should look to cap other forms of public lending for education… if he’s right and more schools follow (I think he will be proven right), it seems like a pretty good way to control the price of higher ed.

I know I’m not alone, but I can’t help myself from thinking about this one from time to time. It was dunked on immediately of course, but the last couple of days have made it a hall of fame bad take.

Zohran pulling 23% support among NYC conservatives is a strong data point that the democratic party should move left, not toward the center or center right, if it wants to build the broadest coalition possible.

If this last poll ends up being more or less accurate, it’ll be a very compelling data point for why cross endorsements matter. I also wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Lander continue to gain from when this was in the field.

Have been very cautious about drawing any turnout conclusions based on comparisons to the 2021 primary.
An interesting point by @jccoltin.bsky.social on the other app. We’ll see what happens Tuesday, but total turnout could still end up being basically the same as 2021 when all is said and done.
