Also - total waste of time to blame Sliwa. Mamdani won a majority.

Any GOP campaign consultant who thinks they can turn Mamdani into a defining issue for competitive races outside New York is out of touch and will see their candidate defeated fairly easily.

Going to agree with brother Sean Davis and brother John Daniel Davidson that maybe, just maybe, instead of listening to recordings of internal Heritage Foundation meetings some of the self-proclaimed political smarties in DC might want to start thinking about THIS a wee bit harder.

Leaving aside the fact that this is a scummy leak, labeling this as antisemitic is going to severely undermine efforts to combat real antisemitism.

Marc completely glosses over the fact that the Democrats are going to eliminate the filibuster the moment they have control of Congress.
