What do you want?
Zohran Mamdani won. Should you care?
There are two words why you should.

Maybe don't freak out TOO much about Trump going after all his political enemies - if only because Trump fired all the good lawyers

It warms my lawyerly heart to see the Trump team’s utter incompetence as lawyers stop him in his tracks every once in a while.
