Mamdani is going to win. The question will now be, "Can you reproduce this?" It's doubtful. He's talented. But it's possible, first of all, if you remember all politics is local, and the more local you get - the more people recognize you - the more things like age and parties cease to matter.

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

I find it almost alarming that Obama is freaked out enough to embrace a gerrymander

Barack Obama: California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

- It deprives Americans of truth. The public’s right to know how our military operates (especially in matters of war, spending, and policy) would be severely weakened.
- It risks creating state-approved media. When only “authorized” information is allowed, journalism becomes propaganda.

- It restricts investigative journalism. Reporters could lose credentials for pursuing stories that don’t fit the official narrative.
- It limits public accountability. Without reporters asking hard questions, misconduct and waste could go unchecked.

Why signing this policy would be dangerous:
- It undermines press freedom. The government shouldn’t decide what information the public can or can’t know, that’s the role of a free press.
- It sets a chilling precedent. Once one agency can silence independent reporting, others can follow.

The Pentagon has given reporters who refuse to sign until Wednesday afternoon to hand over their credentials, effectively locking them out of Pentagon coverage.

The policy requires journalists to agree to limits on how they report and access information, something all the organizations say violates First Amendment protections and places unreasonable curbs on press freedom.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.
