“The person playing Mamdani in Cuomo’s debate prep sessions was another member of the inner circle: Rita Glavin, the attorney who has worked to undermine the accusations of the women who had come out against Cuomo his house while governor. TAX PAYER FUNDED ATTORNEY

CONFIRMED🚨: Spoke to at least 6 NYPD officers and they told me that many of the rank and file have already started to put their early retirement papers in and are actively looking for departments in North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. All thanks to Zohran Mamdani getting elected..

And thus it begins. Every single Jew I know in NYC is talking to me about leaving. Every. Single. One.

I do actually think she's kind of pretty in a way, but I can just tell she's absolutely miserable to live with

Grok Imagine prompt: She smiles and says “I will always love you”

New report from @AAUP & @MESA_1966 on the weaponization of antisemitism claims shows how Biden used civil rights law as a cudgel against student anti-genocide protesters, and Trump used it as a battering ram for his war against higher ed theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

No one in the rank and file anything has any idea who Lina Khan is, and you can tell because her presence in the Biden administration earned him exactly zero points with the left. Voters really, truly, could not care less about anti-trust regulation.

The extent to which media people don’t even try to distinguish between “is very popular specifically with people who work in the media and our friends” and some kind of objective external quality of messaging brilliance is a little sad.

Zohran Mamdani raised $16.8 Million during his campaign for Mayor. Now immediately after his election win he is begging supporters for more money. What happened to all that money?

Rewatching Zohran's speech and it's pretty amazing how right after winning he dropped the smiley act and returned right back to being this guy

In case you forgot, I’m Andrew Cuomo, son of Mario, grandson of Andrea. Welcome to the heavyweight bout, @ZohranKMamdani This is a two man race. You look tired already. It’s just the second round.

Zohran Mamdani arrives at Centro Islamico Del Caribe in San Juan. He’s attending Jummah prayers and then doing food distribution for the Somos day of service.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in @the_rumpus & with the brilliant @rgay's edits. Mamdani’s win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects it? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/zoh…

Before going live on CNN, I spoke with young New Yorkers — some who were all-in for Mamdani, others who were more skeptical. His election night speech landed powerfully for his existing supporters. Unfortunately, it pushed some skeptics further away. I don’t think it had to be that way. I said on CNN that I thought he had missed an opportunity. Mamdani’s supporters didn’t appreciate that take very much. I listened and took their reactions very seriously. I talked and texted with several of them. And I was left wondering: WAS there any way for Mamdani to give a powerful victory speech— staying true to his core values and beliefs, while STILL pulling more people into his movement? After some research and reflection, it turns out that the answer is YES. Because Mamdani already DID exactly that — just a few months ago. This summer, when he won the primary against Cuomo, this same leader gave a much warmer, more inclusive and more inviting victory speech. I would have praised THAT kind of speech to the high heavens - and was prepared to do so. It’s fascinating how different these speeches are. Here is how they stack up, head to head: open.substack.com/pub/vanjon…
