You don't get to spend a year making hackish arguments on behalf of whatever happens to be the administration's position and then pretend to be a serious scholar again as if nothing happened

Mamdani is writing the playbook for how Democrats must continue to communicate with voters after Election Day. He could have done the usual thing and disappear after winning but if anything he’s communicating even MORE now.

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.
