Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

The money spent trying to quash Mamdani & prop up Cuomo could have fed millions of hungry Americans

It could have provided healthcare.

It could have provided social supports

Instead the billionaire elite spent it trying to defeat a politician who knew what the people wanted

And it cost them.

A small but telling footnote: A Dem who's a union shop leader is the top vote getter tonight in a TEXAS State Senate district that Trump carried by 20 pts last year. Donate, canvass and otherwise support this guy and he might have a chance. (He already has the beard)...

Returns show Democrat Taylor Rehmet in the lead for Tarrant County state Senate seat

Three candidates are vying for a Tarrant County state Senate seat in a special election. The district favors Republicans.

If I was a GOP strategist, I’d be pretty worried about diluting my safe +15 districts into a bunch of +5 gerrymandered districts after tonight.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

With Trump's lame-duck status now sealed, it’s time for the GOP Congress to ditch the shutdown circus and stand up to him. The emperor clearly has no clothes —let's end this farce.
