Mamdani is showing the next Democratic president what to do in 2029
A brilliant opening maneuver. Framing his predecessor's tenure as aberrant and illegitimate is both totally reasonable and creates room for radical change.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Trump’s current move is simple:
He wants power over the Postal Service.
Because the Postal Service delivers ballots.
If you control the mail, you can slow it, change rules, or claim it’s broken.
Then you use that “problem” to limit voting.
This isn’t about efficiency.

CBS has fallen.
They’re promising news drive by the people & not by experts, academics or the “elite”.
It won’t be news, it will be state sponsored propaganda.
This isn’t how you do the news, this is how you ensure the public is placated, ill informed and unprepared to resist.
This is fascism.

What's funny is, the best rebuke to this approach -- caricaturing the work your colleagues have been doing and disparaging it, like you weren't there working alongside them -- has already been given by the guy he's replacing, who talked movingly about the actual work of journalism.

In his speech, Mamdani named NYC neighborhoods I've never heard of after >10 years here, and also noted that the rest of the country is watching to see "whether the left can govern." I think Asawin is right here. The speech did a good job of putting forward a strong vision and naming the stakes
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager
