I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

The absolute dumbest rich people in the history of the world got together on the group chats and broke their damn brains over Zohran Mamdani. Here's @ryanlcooper.com on why they predictably failed.

JD Vance once claimed Haitian immigrants were eating dogs as part of their voodoo rituals. Now he's urging out-of-work Americans to eat dogs when their SNAP benefits end.

My three-year-old was listening to the Ezra Klein podcast when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why did the woke mob kill Charlie Kirk?" And when I told her "because he was practicing politics the right way," she started crying.

Really glad to be back on the Criss-Cross label. This is me a mite younger. But the energy is the same in 2025. It's virtually the same group: #mikeledonne and @kennywashingtondrums, this time joined by CC veteran #peterwashingtonbass. Watch for the reunion release in early 2026.

Real consumer spending has risen at just a 1.4 percent annual rate since Ocrober, before Trump was elected. Spending on restaurants and hotels, good measure of sentiment, has fallen at a 1.2 percent rate. It's very MAGA!

RCV has led to a positive, substantive campaign with Lander and Mamdani acting as if they're in a buddy comedy about who loves New York more and Mamadani encouraging his supporters to donate to A. Adams. And then there's Cuomo, set apart from it all, fear mongering about a city in decline.
Cuomo's absence is so glaring and telling. He views other same-party political candidates as his enemies and not people vying for the same common goal.
He absolutely should not be mayor.

The Times decided to treat a completely unfounded defamatory claim as something worth reporting and writing about without even bothering to use the name of the person making the claim
Accurso, 42, in an emailed response denied having received money from Hamas. “This accusation is not only absurd, it’s patently false,” she said.
