If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.
From the results last night, I’d say reports of the demise of the Democratic Party have been greatly exaggerated.
Throwing it in his face, and I’m here for it!
Might want to weigh in anyway - they’re required to log calls from constituents.
It’s a well timed demand. Trump do not expect Democrats to hold out for this long, and he lost big last night.
Schumer and Jeffries are taking the right tone here ("Thank you for your attention to this matter," lol). Call both your Senators and tell them you strongly support continuing the subsidies for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Then send our local food bank a generous donation.

Democratic leaders ask Trump for meeting to end shutdown

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.

I just want to remind everyone that this is a statewide mandate, unencumbered by maps.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

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.

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.
Mamdani has won more votes than there are people in South Dakota.

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam
if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam
Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Two thirds of young men backed Mandani. Which challenges the media narrative of the past year that you have to be a white supremacist asshole to get the young guy vote.
Thank you, I was hoping someone would make this play

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.
