I have no patience for the people *still* doing moral posturing over the whole Harris/Trump dichotomy because this is among the most real consequences of electing Trump. Most of you pundits will be fine. But slashing Medicaid and USAID will harm millions. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx, died over the weekend. A passage from his obituary and 2 charts from today’s papers illustrate the fallacy of Republican Party economics. From Fred Smith’s obituary:

My greatest takeaway after 8 years of recruiting first-time candidates & supporting incredible victories: the gatekeepers don't know shit about shit.

Proud to join Ron Wyden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to demand answers about reports that Palantir is helping to build a “mega-database” on American citizens. It’s Orwellian and it’s unacceptable.

Lander and Zohran are modelling what a healthy liberal/left alliance would look like. Whatever happens with election results, this is the model to follow.

Let me put it this way… the entire Harris-Walz presidential campaign knocked 20 million doors total nationally. To knock 1.5 million doors in just a single city, in a primary, is absolutely insane.

Invited to speak at Gov. Healey's press conference signing the Fair Share supplemental budget w/essential new investments in education&transportation paid for by a tax on the super-rich was... Chamber of Commerce CEO Jim Rooney, a vocal opponent of Fair Share. #mapoli

Win or lose, Zohran Kwame Mamdani smartly embraced a go everywhere media strategy. It signaled a campaign that was less preachy, less dogmatic, and more open than others on the left.

I was there, everything was on the table, lots of reflection, connection and strategy, with authentic voices leading the way. We have a lot of work to do and I am READY!

He was authentic, values-driven, honest, genuine, sincere -- he took the campaign seriously but not himself seriously. It's quintessential millennial leadership and it's what we're about to see wayyyyyy more of across the Democratic Party.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

At its core, this isn't some progressive/moderate split that's roiling the Democratic Party. Dems are tired of the bullshit, unauthentic candidates, and hearing every fucking election "this is the best you're gonna get." We can be something different. Tonight showed us that.

It's not that difficult, folks. He gave people hope at a time when it was desperately needed. And he listened to people who needed to be heard. I am euphoric tonight, appreciating the authenticity and joy of Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

Zohran didn't just win the primary, cuomo ran a dog shit campaign and squandered what would have been an easy win if he ran even an average campaign but he represents the worst version of democrats, had zero vision, and ran a mismanaged campaign
