@SherwoodStrauss @sportsrapport What do you make of this? Bontemps is a really good reporter, knows the game—but doesn’t, imho, know it in a way that I think would help a front office. Only nba reporters I think can break down the game/player strengths/team strategy are: Zach Lowe, Joe Viray, and Slater.

Getting the quote wrong on purpose because he says “Democratic” and Rs refuse to use the “ic”

Zohran Mamdani says Democrat Socialists are the face of the Democrat Party now: “They are going to try and make them the face of the Democrat Party, to them I say we are ready for that.”

@HBendaas @HartmanAndrew Smart by him yes—but gotta say shockingly dumb by her, given her level of tv experience and focus on Israel.

@JHWeissmann @mattyglesias @LPDonovan @Nomads4Pritzker Chris Hayes was making the point the other day with Ezra Klein. I think we figured this out earlier than anybody else. I think this is gonna be party cw if Ossoff goes for it.

@JHWeissmann @mattyglesias @LPDonovan Guys—@Nomads4Pritzker and I were all over this three plus months in TNR. We thought it would be Pritzker, but we thought Ossoff could pull it off too. Jewish Dem—with rich Holocaust family backstory—actually prepared to seriously pressure Israel is the sweet spot-but not Shapiro.

@Noahpinion Mamdani doesn’t seem to be destroying NY so far. I would also point out that Abe Beam and Ed Koch were not leftists.

@baseballcrank The creed is lived not asserted. Trump is a “real” native born American who dies not support the US creed.

@baseballcrank I dint know any leftist who would put it that way—I don’t think that’s a real position held by anybody. Internationalist leftists don’t, in fact, use the US creed to argue for pen borders—they’re internationalist! You got this all wrong, seriously.

@brianros1 That logic goes for you too, though. These are Democratic seats no matter who the nominee is—so why claim that Mamdani and Bernie are party wreckers? How else can a political party argue within itself at all

None of the candidates from last night would’ve won if they didn’t get significant support from self-identified liberals, and I don’t think that the voters who picked other candidates in the primary are going to vote for the Republican candidate in November.

Point of clarification: so that’s “no men in women’s sports” but just on Election Day? Might miss a lot of major sports that way….

@McReynoldsJoe @jessesingal Yes, will require a semi-trusteeship, imo, led by US/Germany/Saudis.

Without a doubt. We (@Nomads4Pritzker) nailed down the theory of the case in March in @newrepublic —picked the wrong Jewish Dem as most likely (Pritzker), but Ossoff was our second pick and he’s better than JBP in several ways. But yeah, not Shapiro: newrepublic.com/article/207310…

I think if you’re actually paying attention you see these results are bullish for Ossoff.

@jonathanchait @jessesingal Basically the hard, persistent leverage on Israel is what will hold this together—and pushing/persuading the EU (Germany) to do the same. That was where Andy Levin—an Uncommitted favorite—was.

@jonathanchait @jessesingal I mean, maybe. Yet Lander has repeatedly said, including throughout this campaign, that he supports a Jewish state. He’s never backed off from that. Which does piss off some anti-Zionists. But it’s the Palestinian sovereignty part that is most salient.
