Not in the least. But he serves as a poster child of who we need to replace. Mamdani’s election shows it can be done. We need to energize voters, get them angry, not discourage them. There is more power in hope than helplessness.

My concern is not so much for the reporter. Regardless of what happens to her legally, the government is now in possession of the names of her informants, which could make them targets. This will have a chilling effect on whether future sources come forward.
