Yes this is a decent summary, even though you work for a discredited publication.
🚨 .@AnandWrites is very AFRAID about climate change but not of getting mugged in D.C. apparently . @DailyCaller

It would honestly be amazing to be the biggest queer on TV.
@AnandWrites Dude you are the biggest queer on TV and I say that with as much disrespect as humanly possible. Fuck right off with your gay ass hair.

We have to have a sense of proportion. The Republic is being stolen. This is the big crime story.

He is doing this to distract us from the fact that, right now, a crime family is atop the White House. He is running crypto schemes. He is running policy to do an upward redistribution of wealth to enrich his billionaire cronies and donors.

We can't ignore what he is actually trying to do here, which is weaponize this fear of not just this city, but all cities.

When I go to D.C., I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much as I'm afraid of losing my vote. I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much as I'm afraid that my children's freedom to breathe will be stolen in a world without climate change policy.

It's really important to be clear about what is going on here: a relatively small crime problem is being used for specific authoritarian purposes that we know and understand.

Let's be clear: D.C.'s real crime problem is the insurrectionist fraudster crime family boss who wants to take it over.

This is what happens when you pick up the phone instead of quote-tweeting. I encourage it!.
A little while ago, @AnandWrites & I got into an argument about powerful people ruining the world & then changing positions to depict themselves as heroes without ever apologizing - something we're seeing re: Gaza right now. We hashed it out & I encourage you to read this:

What Democrats can learn from @ZohranKMamdani:. 1. Less wonkiness, more emotion. 2. Don't dilute for moderates; thrill the base to persuade them. 3. Have mercy for and curiosity about Trump voters. 4. Connect affordability to dreams. 5. Out-organize.

David, my friend, just say welcome. Politics is not record collecting. It’s good when people find out about your favorite band.
Huge congratulations to the Pod Save Guys, the Abundance Guys and all the Democratic pundits who suddenly discovered Mamdani and started saying nice things about him less than 36 hours ago as soon as the Polymarket odds shifted - this victory is all you guys, great work.
