More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

The Republican tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse.

It would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich through a single law in our entire history.

Stop this bill.

Great question from @debbiedingell.house.gov.
"If we’re not serving our most vulnerable children, what are we even doing as a country?"

It's another Mailbag Monday on The Athletic Football Show, and we celebrated with some real offseason nonsense.

Which is higher:

The number of QBs who could keep the Eagles a contender or the number of teams Mahomes would MAKE a contender?

A little while ago, I built a TARDIS using #RStats 🎨 I recently re-built it using D3, and made it interactive with tooltips to reveal Doctor Who trivia!

I just finished reading @michaelluo.bsky.social’s extraordinary book “Strangers in the Land.”

It’s a must-read.

Washington Post: “‘Strangers in the Land” deserves a place on the shelf beside other essential works of American history.’”
