You don't mess with the Zohran

When trying to decide what to do with the DOJ wanting to drop the indictment, the judge appointed a lifelong Republican to create an independent review the material. The review found no indication that the prosecution was political.

Mainstream Democrats are trying to pretend not to understand why people support Mamdami.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said Monday that she initially thought the crowd’s “tax the rich” chant while she spoke at a rally for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani the day prior was instead a “Let’s go Bills” chant, referencing the NFL’s Buffalo Bills.

Did Adams agree with our Glorious Leader, or was it more a function of our Glorious Leader making him an offer he couldn’t refuse?

At that point, it was him agreeing.

This could go either here or authoritarian government: From yesterday’s NY Post:

House Republicans are exploring ways to prevent Zohran Mamdani from ever being sworn in as mayor even if he prevails in Tuesday’s election by using the Constitution’s “insurrection clause,” The Post has learned.

The New York Young Republican Club is pushing to prevent the NYC mayoral frontrunner from taking the oath of office Jan. 1 under an idea floated this summer.

It cites language in the post-Civil War 14th Amendment to the Constitution barring from office anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or who has “given aid or comfort to the enemies.” The group argues that Mamdani’s own statements calling to resist ICE could violate the prohibition.

NYC isn’t much of a republican stronghold. I wouldn’t have much fear of that working here.

Nothing better to do, like their actual job, than to define enemies and fuck with them.

In the last poll, Mamdani’s lead has shrunk to just 4 points. In a straight matchup with Cuomo, he loses by 5.
He has now reached out to Jewish leaders in NYC, asking for some photo ops and/or endorsements. They are all turning him down.
We may see Cuomo in an upset!

Predictit seems pretty sold on Mamdani

Its not exactly a close race.

NYT still has poll results up from the D primary.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he would “impose a 100 percent tariff” on New Yorkers moving to Texas.

“After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,” the Republican wrote on X on Monday night.

I wonder if ranked voting will help Cuomo get some of the Sliwa votes as he will probably be Sliwa voters 2nd choice.

I don’t understand what a tariff on people moving means. He’d tax their moving people? Their Uhaul?

NYC only has ranked choice voting in primaries.

It means he’s a dumbass who wants attention.

In normal times, that would have been a good Onion headline.
