Whatever my feelings on Mamdani, I've never believed he was an antisemite and I deeply resent the people who turned on him when he spoke out against antisemitism a few weeks ago. If he becomes the nominee I hope he exiles them from his coalition.

Someone who passes the reforms they promise thanks to cultivating strong relationships in state and local government, as well as relevant associations within the city itself (such as the NYPD, sorry to say.)

I'll bet he can sing all the words to "Walk Like a Sailor" from Ankles Aweigh. (Note: I too can sing all the words to "Walk Like a Sailor" from Ankles Aweigh.)

If you want to read something that proves Moran's claim, here is an essay Stephen Miller wrote as a senior at Duke where he tells off a woman who called him racist. I'd love to speak to the woman who said this to him. She deserves a medal.

Every city has shifted right post-COVID. If there's a reason to think NYC will reverse that trend if Zohran is elected, I've yet to see it.

How does a Mamdani victory help NY’s state Democratic Party though? Republicans have gained in every presidential election since Trump and I’m worried a Mamdani nomination will accelerate the state’s turn into another Florida.

All I'm gonna add is that my Mom was once at a dinner with three actors who'd done a show with Patti and they spent a good 20 minutes talking about how terribly she treated them.

I sent thousands of texts on behalf of Conor Lamb because I knew this guy would be bad news. If he does resign, Lamb should run in the special election.

I hope Kleber Mendonça Filho wins the Palme d'Or for The Secret Agent, thus continuing the tradition of Jeff Wells missing the Palme d'Or winner! (He even missed Parasite!)

If you hadn't sent Jeff Wells $8k to go to Cannes he wouldn't have stuck a knife in his toaster!

While I've got you here, let's also take a moment to remember Jake Tapper's "Gangbanging in Media Land," a dreadful piece of satire that sounds like if Steve Buscemi's 30 Rock meme of "how do you do fellow kids?" tried to write an episode of The Wire.

I can't trust anything that book says given how many people referenced in it say they were either misquoted or that events were fabricated out of whole cloth. Journalists need to stop giving it any credence.
