I was never a big fan of Trevor Noah but this interview with Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani is just filled with so many laughs and so much info. It is totally worth watching at 1.25x speed or slower. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QLy...

Both NY Senators voted for this crap? What the hell is wrong with our Senators? Honestly, they need to both be primaried and beaten.
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

We need more selfless candidates that put their issues before their candidacy. I'm sad to hear you're leaving the race but I applaud you for working towards a better future for your constituents.
That’s why today, I am making the difficult decision to step aside so we on the left can consolidate behind a unified progressive candidacy.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

Same story everywhere you look...except in Nassau County, the fiefdom of anti-Mamdani New York Democratic Party chair Jay Jacobs, whose hand-picked "Moderate Party" Dem slate was slaughtered during a blue wave everywhere else in the country. Seems worth noting by people other than a TV critic
You look at results like this and you realize Trump can gerrymander to his heart's content and it won't matter.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

This whole thread is a lot of fun to read and gives little glimpses of pockets of this huge city on election day.
And it begins...Hell Gate's Election Day live blog is here!
Our first dispatch is from a polling site in a corner of Flatbush that Andrew Cuomo won during the primary. Are voters feeling Cuomo-mentum? Well:
