That was a hell of speech—as local as it comes yet a national gauntlet from someone who can’t run for president. Mamdani is saying New York will show others the way.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

*rubs temples*
so the lesson you took from people organizing and showing up and voting in huge numbers - even the young! - is that "no way can this ever happen again"

I got bad news for Trump about every election going forward from now until the end of time

“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters.

Just saying, I’ve written thousands of words over the past 10 years about the ongoing crisis we’re living through. But apparently I’m not taking it seriously enough. Also, I’m gonna quote-tweet people when I feel like it.

How can anyone who’s ever read a word I’ve written think that my approach to everything these days is “business as usual”

Shoulda heard the guy on NBC News Live. This is now the party of Mamdani, costs are down for everyone and in VA and NJ this is their own fault for having high taxes.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

Exit polls say Abigail Spanberger won young men 56–42 today. Talk about a narrative buster.

Not much, the engine caught fire while on the runway, looks like a freak accident. Obviously Duffy is responsible for a lot, but this wasn’t one of them.
