Same story everywhere you look...except in Nassau County, the fiefdom of anti-Mamdani New York Democratic Party chair Jay Jacobs, whose hand-picked "Moderate Party" Dem slate was slaughtered during a blue wave everywhere else in the country. Seems worth noting by people other than a TV critic
You look at results like this and you realize Trump can gerrymander to his heart's content and it won't matter.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

The desire for better passenger rail in North America is so obvious. It's maddening that lawmakers find a way to stymie it every time.

Fox News is confused by Trump's friendly meeting with Mamdani.
"You know, it was a surprise to see those two getting along as well as they did. A couple of times I asked the mayor-elect a tougher question, and the president almost helped him dodge it."

I didn’t know how to feel about this but every clip I have seen is Mamdani being himself and Trump bending over backwards to ingratiate himself to Zohran. None of the reverse.

If you say "Trump is a threat to democracy" and vote like this, you simply don't believe what you say.
The idea that swing state Dems would "need" to vote for this is also laughable. No one in your district is kept up at night by the idea that a crooked cop in DC won't get hired back.
