One can't help but wonder if a year from now Mamdani's approval will be 34%, the left will have declared him a neolib sellout, and this meeting with Trump will be depicted as the moment we all should have known

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.
He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.
Literally resign tonight.

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

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Listen. Republicans are coming for your healthcare may seem wonky to you, but it doesn’t to voters.
It’s been a winning message for Democrats for 50 years.

“Rs are coming from your healthcare” is dull, wonky, has nothing to do with anything in the cultural discourse, and is the same thing Dems said in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

I can explain it. It’s dynamic social expectations. They all perceive that “being praiseful of Kirk” as a kind of savvy, difficult position that will produce a reward, so they’re competing with each other to do it most extravagantly.
Same thing happened after the election with “Trump is king now.”
