Yes, Zohran is polling second with Jewish voters. But to put it another way, he’s leading with Jewish voters among all of the progressive candidates, including the two Jewish candidates. Yet, the X algorithm has some believing all of my people are against him.

Vance Boelter, the person of interest in the Minnesota assassination and attempted assassination, had a public association with a business based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In this video, he is seen preaching to a congregation at an evangelical church in Matadi,

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

John Samuelsen, the head of the transit workers union, is the first speaker at Zohran Mamdani’s rally. He says he’s a champion for working class people and praises the free bus pilot. Samuelsen has a long history with Cuomo; they were allies turned enemies.

Couldn't be at the Terminal 5 rally tonight, but watching Zohran's speech afterward, I am completely blown away by how far this socialist campaign has come in less than a year's time. This part is my favorite; just beautifully written and delivered (and even better in context):

Sure, he's a right wing evangelical preacher, who supported Trump and was a registered Republican in OK, and sure he assassinated a Dem former speaker of the MN house and had a hit list to assassinate all the top state Dems and abortion providers, but something about Marxists.

Just spoke with Vance Boelter’s roommate, David who told us he was “very conservative” and “would be offended if people thought he was a Democrat” (as some had assumed) that he was a fan of #InfoWars, that he voted for and was very happy President Trump won the election.

The roommate of Minnesota lawmaker shooting suspect Vance Boelter spoke to CBS News' Lilia Luciano about rumors circulating online about the suspect's politics: "He's not a Democrat. He would be offended if people called him a Democrat," he said, adding that Boelter "was a Trump

NEW: Senator Tim Kaine has introduced a resolution directing the President to terminate the use of U.S. armed forces for hostilities against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by Congress. It’s privileged under the War Powers Resolution, meaning Kaine can and will force a vote on it.

Zohran’s cross-endorsements with Lander and Blake show a real ability to coalition build—which is exactly what you want from a mayor.

What's notable to me about a lot of the editorial pieces re: NYC mayoral is a strange lack of curiosity. How has a candidate—polling at 1% a few months ago—built perhaps the largest organic movement and volunteer army ever seen in a NYC election?

After Republican losses to Democrats in 1862, the New York Herald newspaper declared: “New York has given the finishing blow to our radical abolitionists...They must now be removed.” A top Republican told Lincoln the Emancipation Proclamation had revived the opposition.

Let's talk substance. The New York Times Editorial Board left out 1/ Zohran's actual experience delivering for working class New Yorkers. It was a tough fight when he successfully fought for $450 million of debt relief for tax drivers. I was there, his leadership mattered.

CNN continues to promote Middle East analysis from Biden aide Brett McGurk, who directed US support for bloodshed + strategic drift in Gaza (& Lebanon). He now says the US can reach "a diplomatic outcome" by moving toward direct involvement vs Iran alongside Israel. Unmentioned?
