George Conway: "I fought Trump publicly in every way I could, and I paid a price."
He doesn't explain what that price is. Is it that he is no longer married to Kellyanne Conway? That he had to spend a lot of time in TV studios?

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Zohran Mamdani makes a reasonable statement on people chanting "Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here.", and he gets bunch of criticism here.
As I said earlier today, chants in support of a terrorist organization have no place in our city. We will continue to ensure New Yorkers’ safety entering and exiting houses of worship as well as the constitutional right to protest.

Graham Platner: "I can’t tell you how many guys I know get disability of some form who have no need for it, and who will openly admit in closed circles they gamed it for the cash."
Graham Platner Really Might Be Doomed. Pay Attention to Him Anyway.
The candidate embodies a quarter-century of raw American frustration. It’s the source of his strength — and potentially his downfall.

Molly Jong-Fast is responsible for George Conway's carpetbagging campaign:

Considering that Zohran Mamdani ran on doing things that the mayor of NYC doesn't have the power to do, it isn't surprising that he is going to keep claiming he is able to do those things.
If those things don't happen, will his supporters make excuses or hold him accountable?

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Ro Khanna's rhetoric is absolutely a problem. He keeps claiming that Trump administration officials could be prosecuted over the lack of release despite the obvious ability for them to be pardoned. He doesn't even address that possibility.
An advocate for survivors sent this to me with utter disgust. I have never heard of Ankush Khardori. He had the gall to say tonight that Rep.Thomas Massie & I, 427 Congress members, and 100 Senators are wasting America's time because there is no cover-up.

It's good to be able to do quick math with population sizes:
"Nearly $7B couldn't..."
$7B is nothing. Over 160M taxpayers in the USA. That's > $45 per taxpayer. Not a lot of money!
Kamala received 75M votes. $93/vote.
You hear $7B and think it's a lot of money, but for the population, it is not.

Zohran Mamdani got 1,114,184 votes, so that would be about 11 votes per volunteer. That seems like a bad ratio.
