Zohran Mamdani won a victory for his own campaign in NYC but ALSO for a vision of the next Democratic Party: a bolder, more outspoken party that builds multiracial, multiethnic coalitions that speak directly to the aspirations of working-class voters — with an economic agenda that is on their side.

Zohran Mamdani Proves That Power Belongs to the People
In a rebuke to cynical Democratic insiders and the New York Times editorial page, voters backed a democratic socialist for mayor of the nation's largest city.

A rare statement from Justice Roberts in response to Trump's post this morning: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

FYI: You are allowed to be a Democrat who also wants a stronger party. You are allowed to ask leaders like @schumer.senate.gov to step aside so others who understand the moment can lead. You are allowed to demand more than we are getting right now— and you deserve more too. #TheReformers
