This one takes the cake.

It’s really hard to see how Adams can beat this energy. Maybe if he were coming from behind. But after all the corruption scandals? I really doubt it.

Obamaesque

Yes pls. Also, can we place a special congestion tax to the West? Make the tunnel rats pay twice the rate we have for the salmon up north.

I thought Ian was smart enough to see more than one step ahead.

Guys, no one who works in finance lives in the financial district. It's a tourist trap and a shit-hole place to live.

Ignatius used to Langley's preferred drop. Looks like he's now working for Mossad. wapo.st/4ngbyOs

I loudly disagreed with nearly every policy position the Mamdani campaign took, called his supporters out of touch, and boosted candidates who ended up winning less than 1% as attractive alternatives. Here’s why Zohran’s victory confirms every one of my priors 🧵 1/

The Israelis are right to panic over Mamdani. Not bc Mamdani positions on Israel per se or his identity, but what his stunning victory portends about the future Israel policy of the Dems and therefore of the US. It announces a definite expiry date on the blank check.

Last time I did this, after the Adams election, it took me the whole weekend. This time? 20 min.

Haha. It’s because they’ve already been offered. It was Iran that took a pass. China will sell the same weapons to Iran that it sold to Pakistan in a heartbeat.

Guys, help me out here. Socialists are Mamdani, and Lander? How should I be adding them them to get left_total, center_total, other_total? ['Adrienne E. Adams', 'Andrew M. Cuomo', 'Brad Lander', 'Jessica Ramos', 'Michael Blake', 'Paperboy Love Prince', 'Scott M. Stringer',

Might have to update my prediction score again soon. :)

Mamdani marshaled a broad coalition for democratic socialism. This is a big win. See my latest dispatch. open.substack.com/pub/policytens…

A big deal you guys.

Historically, fiscal dominance obtained when discipline over spending broke down bc politicians faced a strong incentive to reward their supporters with largesse and central banks did not enjoy sufficient insulation from political pressure. The present US case is a novel

Globalism =/= neoliberalism or neoconservatism. Zohran Kwame Mamdani: “This is a city [where] our values are in line with international law.”

Big if true

Unusual report from Sy. Says that the US realized that the underground facility itself was unreachable. So the US tried to bury it under rubble. And this would be impossible for the Iranians to reach any time soon, “if ever.” Color me skeptical. Why can’t you burrow?
