Excellent thread
Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data…
—Top Public Worry: Corruption
—Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption
—Top fear: Corruption
—What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt”
It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

you have to admit that every day major media outlets dont simply report that the supposed frontrunner is essentially not campaigning is a huge failure of the press
And once again we have a mayoral debate Cuomo is too cowardly to show up to. At this point I hope he loses just for being an asshole

“A progressive pussy” - ok so where was Cuomo today when the mayor of Newark was arrested? Lander and Zohran went to the scene, Cuomo hasn’t even put out a statement. Cuomo has been hiding from the press this whole primary. He’s a coward and you’re a moron if you fall for his “tough guy” vibes.

Really speaks to the quality of @zellnor.bsky.social’s character that he didn’t take this deal, as someone with less integrity could have rationalized this alliance as a smart move. Yet another reason he’ll be ranked number 1 on my mayoral ballot. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

If Schumer votes for cloture, every Senator who doesn't immediately call for him to be replaced as Senate minority leader should be primaried.
This is absolute betrayal. This is launching a civil war in the Democratic Party that will burn it to the ground.

Don't take this as gospel. It's not official. It's a very knowledgable source's best understanding of the situation. This persons likely Yeses on cloture are. Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.

This is 🎯. The primaries of 2026 will not be easily defined by progressive vs moderate - they’ll be shaped by things like tone & style; fight vs decorum, & I strongly suspect, generational lines.
My very strong suspicion is that the left/right axis and the fight/don't-fight axis are in the process of unlinking, and that the fight/don't-fight split is emerging as the core struggle in the Democratic Party.
We seriously need to separate the left/right axis from the fight/don’t fight axis.

If Dem leadership announced mass civil disobedience that they would lead, you would have a 100,000 people in D.C. getting arrested- including me
Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I don’t think it will, but I wish this Eric Adams scandal would lead to people looking in to the connection between the fire service, the fire protection industry, and public policy. Corruption happens, yes, because somebody is willing to take a bribe, but also because somebody wants to give it.
