There’s no way this guy is serious, right? I’ve stayed in plenty of hotel rooms in NY before I moved here and never did I have as much space as he has. He has no concept of cost in Midtown. The price is high, but he didn’t pick a hotel in a cheaper area so that’s how it goes!

If the aim is to ambush @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, you'd say it was a closed meeting and then by happy accident a group of right wing "journalists" would mysteriously find their way to the Oval Office to corner Mamdani. JD Vance would also coincidentally be walking by and offer some questions.

Yes, Mr. Madison, I get your concerns about fiendish foreign princes and such, but here's the thing: in the year 2026 the literal Pope will be eligible to run for POTUS while the mayor of New York City is not. Maybe go back to the drawing board and give that one another go. Not your best work.

Firstly, I've got no idea wherever this stat came from
Secondly, 37% of the city is foreign born
Thirdly, there's like 20k rent controlled units out of 3m apartments

It will depend on activists and many more people backing him up, but I think @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has the chance to be a truly transformative mayor when it comes to streets. Just dusting off some stalled projects in his first 100 days would go a long way toward changing things for the better.
Mamdani Election Signals Lane Change for Stymied Street Overhauls

Then we should move to Medicare for All, which would ultimately lower costs.

John Barrasso sounds like a NO on extending ACA funds: “We cannot continue just continuing to subsidize a failing plan, which is causing more & more costs and hardship around the country. What the Democrats have offered was $350 billion more dollars to prop up Obamacare, which has failed”

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Challenge Chuck for the leadership then, @murray.senate.gov
When Democrats offered a clean ONE-year extension of the tax credits—which is truly the most straightforward and common-sense thing we can do for people facing gigantic premium hikes this year—Republicans said “never, ever, ever, ever.” They called it “political terrorism.” Are you serious?

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

You couldn’t whip 8 members of your caucus (more likely, you ok’ed it), you’re in no position to talk.
In fact, Ro Khanna is right, you should be in no position at all!
