Mamdani met with Trump without normalizing him, and without backing down. @saletan explains how the New York City mayor-elect is trying to fight authoritarianism by fixing the material conditions that helped Trump rise in the first place.
What Mamdani Gets About Trump

There's hardly an expression that captures the absurd hypocrisy of Trump talking about Comey lying to Congress while his administration is serving up more whoppers than a Burger King during the lunch rush
