Zohran just named @turbovax.bsky.social to his transition committee on technology.

Just thought about how mad Curtis Sliwa had to be watching Trump fawn after Zohran for 30 minutes just week after telling all the NYC Republicans to vote for Cuomo.

The funny thing about this meeting is that Mamdani didn't back down on a single policy point or anything he's said about Trump.

Nothing can possibly do justice to the incredible body language on display here—Mamdani's rigid spine, his hands clasped tightly to prevent them from punching a hole in the Oval Office window and jumping out of it, Trump repeatedly touching Mamdani's arm, smiling at him like the son he's never had.
Wow, President Trump Fucking LOVES This Mamdani Guy

Zohran seems to have charmed Trump exclusively by smiling and telling him that actually he’s “against crime” and “for housing.”

Much respect to Nydia for decades of progressive leadership and for being willing to pass the torch.

A govt shutdown is like a strike in the sense that before you start it you MUST have a concrete idea of what your leverage is and what will cause your opponent to fold. Ironically the Dems' strongest leverage point was probably "fucked up Thanksgiving travel" and they folded just before it came.

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath
