The bad news for Zohran Mamdani is that now he has to actually be mayor of New York, which is a truly *horrible* job.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Why have we let side-hustle private landlords seize control of our housing – and our politics? | Peter Apps
Failed Thatcherite policy monetised complex housing needs. No wonder those who benefit are loth to change it, says Peter Apps, a contributing editor at Inside Housing

In 1854, Lord John Russell broke down & wept at the despatch box, at the collapse of his Reform Bill.
MPs were largely sympathetic, cheering until he'd recovered, & reports referred only obliquely to what had happened.
I prefer that to some of the gloating & close-camera footage we're getting now.

!["Now, Sir, may I be permitted to say a few words, after stating the position of the Government, on my own position as the organ of the Government in the matter. Sir, the course which I have pursued exposes me, I am well aware, to all those weapons of taunt and sarcasm which the right hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Disraeli) knows so well how to wield. They are the fair weapons of opposition at all times, and I have been long used to them, and I should not complain of them if they were wielded by even more than the skill and dexterity with which they are used by that right hon. Gentleman. But, Sir, it is a different thing with respect to those hon. Members supporting the present Government, who are attached honestly and earnestly to reform. With respect to them, I must say, that when the statement I have made is held to be open to suspicion, such suspicion can hardly be entertained without weakening and destroying my utility and my position as the organ of the Government in this House. If I have—[The noble Lord appeared now to be affected by deep emotion, and paused. Mean while he was loudly and repeatedly cheered from both sides of the House.]—If I have done anything in the cause of reform, I trust that I have deserved some degree of confidence, but, at all events, I feel that, if I 844do not possess that confidence, I shall be of no use to the Crown or to the country, and I can no longer hold the position I now occupy. These, Sir, are times of no ordinary importance, and questions arise of the utmost difficulty. I shall endeavour to arrive at those conclusions which will be for the best interests of the Crown and of the country, and I trust that I may meet with support. I have now, Sir, only to move that the House at its rising do adjourn to Thursday, the 27th of April."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cixgmtrg7nzy4gkmyfeosaox/bafkreidufa3dy6afqtkewk5x4ccwqcdte7nkqabd5zq3gojeyaqbu7ujg4@jpeg)

Domestic law is a matter of law.
Foreign laws are a matter of expert evidence.
