How Zohran Mamdani Beat Back New York’s Elite
New York Times: “The arc of his success is nothing short of staggering. At the start of the year, Mr. Mamdani was polling at 1 percent, tied, as he likes to say, with the candidate known as ‘someone else.’ Few New Yorkers recognized his name, and his own political team put the odds of winning as low as 3 percent.”
“Now, at age 34, he will be New York City’s youngest leader in more than a century, amid a pile of historic firsts: the first Muslim mayor, the first South Asian and arguably the most influential democratic socialist in the country.”
California Voters Approve Early Redistricting

Ayanna Pressley Considers Senate Bid
“Rep. Ayanna Pressley is seriously considering jumping into the race for the Massachusetts Senate seat currently held by fellow Democrat Ed Markey and has been checking in with allies about a possible run,” Politico reports.
“That could put the 51-year-old member of the progressive ‘Squad’ on a collision course not only with Markey, but with Rep. Seth Moulton, who launched his own primary challenge last month. Moulton, 47, has framed his bid against the 79-year-old incumbent as part of the Democratic Party’s generational upheaval.”
There Was One Dick Cheney All Along
David Frum: “Trump’s Republicanism is radically statist and protectionist, in service to reactionary cultural politics. And it is above all contemptuous of law and constitutional limits. The very week of former Vice President Cheney’s death, the Trump administration will argue at the Supreme Court in favor of the president’s power to impose limitless tariffs on his sole personal claim that some kind of economic emergency exists, without any right of anybody else to question or refute that claim—meaning that the president has effectively discarded and replaced Congress’s Article I power to tax or refrain from taxing.”
“The young constitutional conservative elevated to the highest offices of government by the Watergate scandal would have been appalled and disgusted—and so was the old constitutional conservative who lived to see his cherished daughter a leader of the last band of principled conservative opposition to Trump’s attempt to overthrow a presidential election by fraud and force. ‘In my beginning is my end,’ wrote T. S. Eliot. There was one Dick Cheney all along. Know him better as you tell and honor the life story of this great servant of the American people in all his strengths and weaknesses, triumphs and failures.”
