There's a joke about aristocrats. I'll say no more.

Very telling that oligarchs want to be called aristocrats. On the donors who think they deserve to rule:

The secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now rewriting MAGA’s future

Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory: An “aristocracy” is needed to move the country forward.

‪I would like to wish the Elizabeth Street Garden a very pleasant “you are going to become affordable housing.”‬

Zohran Mamdani has waded into a bitter and long-running fight over New York City housing, saying that if he is elected mayor, he would turn a city-owned garden in Lower Manhattan into affordable housing.

part of the joy of seeing Mamdani win, even from afar, is that he ran a campaign based on how much he loves his city without papering over its flaws, and that was goddamn beautiful.

We think of Zohran as a nice guy. But thank God he knows when not to be.

Mamdani quoting Mario Cuomo but not naming him is a twist of the knife. Love it.

Zohran off the very top rope quoting Eugene Debs in his *first sentence* as mayor-elect, this is going to be so much fucking fun.

New York City has highest voter turnout for local election since 1969

Over two million votes were cast in New York’s mayoral race, according to the New York City Board of Elections. Highest number since 1969

Hmmm ... wonder why that was??!?

Great energy on Election Day! You can vote until 8. If you haven't made a plan to vote, make one. After that, reach out to three friends, relatives, or neighbors to go vote, too!
