Why does Trump not mind shutting down Congressional business in an attempt to get the unpassable SAVE Act? (1) He wants to rig the elections. (2) He doesn't care about Congress anyway. prospect.org/2026/06/25/tru…

No brief for Ed Miliband, but the fact that Unite & GMB choose amidst an unprecedented heatwave to lobby to block his appointment as chancellor because he pushes for decarbonisation is the narrowest, most unthinking of what Gramsci described as ‘economic-corporate’ politics.

(More than) a few observations and takeaways from these maps. I haven’t slept much so apologies for any minor errors or typos. +++ NY-07: — Valdez put up absolutely insane numbers in Ridgewood (her home base) & more gentrified west Bushwick — way bigger than her margins in Greenpoint & Williamsburg — But Valdez didn’t just win gentrified areas — she won heavily Latino east Bushwick as well — In addition to winning the Brooklyn side of the district by 10 points (against the incumbent Brooklyn Borough President no less), she won the Queens side — which includes much of her Assembly District — 62-21 (14% went to Julie Won) — Due to the bloc vote of the Satmar Hasidim, Reynoso dominated in South Williamsburg, but only really decisively won one other neighborhood — Cypress Hills (majority Latino). Valdez won pretty much everywhere else by varying margins — Valdez’s 20-point margin means it wasn’t solely white gentrifiers who carried her to victory. It’s a very young and transplant-heavy district to be sure, but that margin is too big and her wins across neighborhoods dispel that clean narrative that many seem to be pushing +++ NY-10: — As expected, Lander won by bonkers margins in Brownstone Brooklyn. He also handily won Sunset Park (and even looks to have won the East Asian portion to the east) — Lander won the Brooklyn portion of the district 72-27 (!!!) — Lander even won the Manhattan portion of the district by 11 points, including easily carrying the populous Lower East Side & East Village (minus some NYCHA-heavy areas along the East River) — Goldman only won predominantly Orthodox/Haredi Borough Park (another bloc vote) and the hyper wealthy areas of SoHo and Tribeca +++ NY-13: This race played out pretty much as expected, with each side winning their bases and it coming down to plurality Black Central Harlem: — DAC carried predominantly white Manhattan Valley, Morningside Heights, most of West Harlem, and Washington Heights/Inwood west of Broadway — Espaillat decisively won predominantly Dominican Washington Heights and Inwood east of Broadway and the predominantly Dominican Bronx portion of the district — The two swing areas were always going to be East Harlem (mix of races, NYCHA-heavy) and Central Harlem (plurality Black or majority Black depending on the area) — East Harlem was split, which means it came down to Central Harlem. Espaillat won the older areas further north, but DAC won the younger and more racially diverse areas in the southern portion of the neighborhood — Judging from precinct maps, it looks like DAC narrowly won predominantly Black precincts — perhaps Espaillat’s contentious battles with Charlie Rangel and Keith Wright from 10-15 years ago coming back to bite him — DAC’s win mathematically cannot be explained solely by white gentrifiers carrying her to victory

MAMDANI VS "THE MACHINE" A year after his upset win in the mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani set a foothold in federal politics by backing three congressional primary campaigns that uprooted two congressmen and defeated a third candidate endorsed by an outgoing representative.

I don't think young progressives even conceive of the idea that members of Congress are supposed to "bring money back" to their districts. They think in terms of national policy, like providing universal healthcare or childcare, not winning funds for specific pet projects.

Cuomo and Espaillat ran on delivering on the Second Avenue subway expansion. Both lost. Bringing money back to the district from DC is simply not a compelling message anymore for NYC Democratic voters under the age of ~45.
