Two, actually, but they are pretty evenly split, like 44/41. No idea what the demographics are.

lol, I don’t know about the Satmar but Borough Park went 86% for Cuomo. (and 4% for Adams!)

It’s very sweet to be able to watch the news again even if it’s just for one day.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Not watching Cuomo’s speech but now I kind of want to read it.

When you stop using X then open it back up after a while, you realize how obviously it’s designed to elevate vicious jerks who share Musk and Trump’s cruelest, dumbest beliefs. Harder to see when you’re addicted to it; blazingly apparent from the outside looking in.

Journalists: It’s bad for you!

I need this video archived. I need to rewatch the moment that Zohran won while they played the Pina Colada song basically every day for the rest of my life

Nailed it

Supposedly an unprecedented 2.2 million turnout with 60% above 45 years old. I am going to be an optimist and say @andrewcuomo is going to get the win. If he fails to win, it’s because @CurtisSliwa cares more about himself than NYC. Let’s never forget that.

If Andrew wins, he is going to be a great mayor. Why? Because he will owe nothing to the Democratic Party and he will be working only for his legacy. He can therefore do whatever is right for NYC for the long term without worrying about the political consequences.

@realDonaldTrump is going to want to work with Cuomo to Make NY Great Again, MNYGA. Say: ManyGA

I think the President and Cuomo respect each other which increases the chances they will work well together.

We will know supposedly by 9:30pm.

Say a prayer.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Just found out a guy I used to go to shul with on the UWS is running for mayor of my hometown where he now goes to my brother's shul. Amazing.

Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

Again, really appreciate all the centrist pundits who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's proud legacy of putting teachers in the crosshairs of psychos.

“Keep blocking us, we’re coming for you. Literally driving to Tucson as we speak. You f-cking wait,” someone messaged the district on Facebook.

“Your teachers need to be school shooting victims. Sign them up. Time to make them actually look like this. Bang. May people sh-t on their graves for the next eternity,” another person wrote.

Follow along here for a real "This where we are" moment in American history, as a jacked-up cosplaying GI Joe thickskull in full tactical gear plays victim because some mustard might have seeped onto his Proud Boys tattoo

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Waited 30 minutes for a bus that is supposed to come every 12 minutes. Will now be late for work. Not honestly sure any mayor can fix this but I have hopes.

“Oh, well I just told you about it, so now like all of the rest of us who pay attention to what’s going on, you know all about it. You just heard it, from me, and you know. You’re all caught up. So to repeat: does this concern you?”

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.
