i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Call me crazy but I think it's bad that politicians can go on the news and lie and the news doesn't tell its audience that they lied

Pete Hegseth Is Playing Secretary
As he sends troops into L.A. and prepares for war, his Pentagon is beset by infighting over leaks, drugs, and socks. How long will Trump stand by him?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.
I'm sure this is all a waste of our time.... But any medical experts out there want to watch Stephen Miller talk about MAHA and explain if there's any science here besides eugenics?

One thing I’d say about ranked choice voting in NYC is that you don’t have to do complex calculations of viability. You should rank in order of *who you want to be mayor* and if you *don’t* want someone to be mayor, you shouldn’t rank them!
